re: Why do “squatter’s rights” exist? It’s beyond messed up.

How in the world is this not an immediate arrest for criminal breaking and entering, trespassing, and theft?
Definitely one of the stupidest laws I’ve ever heard of

The FAQ section at the bottom of the article is insane. If the squatters leave, you can’t throw out their stuff.

They had this situation pop up on an episode of Live PD... and I believe it was with 1 of the Florida agencies where it happened.
owner called the cops to get some squatters out of their vacation house (I believe it was a snowbird from Massachusetts)... cop basically said I can't do anything... you have to go through civil court and and evict them
I got so pissed off watching that segment... squatters laws should not exist

Agree, but apparently all the squatter has to say is they were invited in. In the article it says they were invited in by the previous tenant. Once that happens, it's a civil matter and the authorities have to treat the squatters as residents of the house. The homeowner then have to go through a arduous legal process to formerly evict the tenants.
Apparently in Colorado City there are "professional" squatters that just bounce from house to house.
Sucks for the homeowner, because you know the squatters are gonna loot everything they can from the place and leave it trashed.
Disgusting.
