I love the Bee but isn't ineo in the first person singular, as in "I enter", so the whole thing means "crime scene, I do not enter"?

This is "Romanes eunt domus" stuff, people!

So correct would be the imperative plural inite, I presume?

"All y'all, do not enter" 👍

inite

probably correct. I didn't know "ineo", but it really is that easy: "in" (in) + "ite" (go! you can learn that from... monty python!) "eo" is a bitch, because totally irregular.

And "vitium scaena" should be "scaena vitii" scene of a crime; those are the right words, though.

"na" is not in the dictionary.

but who cares, it's for a joke, although... having gotten it right would have blown insiders' minds and would have impressed catholic priests.
