I went to the Tennessee State Code to see if any explanation might be forthcoming, but it was not, of course!
A person commits criminal trespass if the person enters or remains on property, or any portion of property, without the consent of the owner. [source]
So, we have no clue, then, what the difference might be between "trespassing" and "criminal trespassing." ๐ค Of course, the other part of the sign is clear: "No Motor Vehicle Trespassing" means that while you are in the building, your unattended vehicle better not pop-itself out-of-gear and roll through the gate or it could be charged for "Motor Vehicle Trespassing!" ๐ฑ
Along the lines of strange laws, I have heard some weird things in the past few years. Once upon a time, if someone used a gun to rob a bank, they were charged with "Armed Robbery" and prosecuted. Nowadays, however, they are charged with "Armed Robbery" PLUS "Possession of a Firearm During a Robbery" (as if someone could commit Armed Robbery without a firearm). ๐
Have you seen any unusual signage where you live?
