More details to this question:
Can an office press trespassing charges on you if they did not see you on the property, only hearsay? Meaning the officer was told that "so and so" was on the property. But now they cannot/would not file for trespassing? So can the officer take it upon themselves to do it?

Absolutely, especially if you forget you have the right to remain silent and cop yourself out. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later.

Hearsay is enough for probable cause to charge.
