If it is a civil matter, then what about being a squatter magically entitles the person to police protection, when ownership doesn't? What am I missing?

The issue is that the police genuinely don’t know who has the legal right to the property. The squatters show them where they paid a utility bill and/or a fake lease and voila, they are now “legal” as far as the cop knows.

This should be considered a hardcore felony, and those that do that should be given a mandatory of 10 years in federal prison. That would curb things quickly.

My issue with that is that I assume in most cases it's pretty clear and obvious who is in the right and who is in the wrong. So all the "it's not our business" and letting it go to the court system (where it can take months) is bullshite. If that's the case then a simple proof of registered ownership should prove that you actually own it and they should kick out the squatters until the court date.
