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.

Ya, one thing with Latin is that there's also an imperative singular form of the verb, which has no analog in modern English.
