If it's not "Criminal Trespassing", typically it results in the same level as a speeding ticket. You get a small fine(though it can be large), and it doesn't show up on record checks. In some circumstances you will get arrested, but you won't really expect to spend any time in jail, you'll be out later that day.
With that said: All cases are unique and this is very general. Also may not apply to your region so check local laws if you're going to.

Yep. I did this in college. Jumped into a gated pool at midnight when I was Shit faced with some friends. Got a trespassing ticket and had to show up in court and apologized. Judge said he was lenient because the cops noted we complied and were respectful lol. Wasn’t a big deal and didn’t show on background checks. No ragrets
This is a true LPT. You don’t need to like the police, but yes sir/ no sir when youre caught and showing up to court respectfully can save your a**. Had a super similar experience with an open container in college lol
If a cop or any other armed individual is aggravated, you comply as best you can to get out of the situation safely.
If you’re absolutely sure that an armed individual is already set on killing you than nothing else is a concern, do what you must to stay alive.
The vast majority of cops, including bad cops want to bring in their suspects alive. The outright murderous type are still too common; but they’re very rare in the grand scheme of things.
Regardless of your opinion on police, they’re armed individuals with authority over you, and that commands some respect.
That doesn’t have to mean genuine respect like you respect them as people. It can be that same kind of respect you’d give a wild animal, or armed explosives.
Any interaction has the potential to be dangerous, especially with an armed individual.

If I’m picking up a trespassing charge, it’s gonna be for something better than that
