This is a nationwide problem. There needs to be an immediate access to the court. And the owners need the ability to have these people arrested.
Every burglar should just carry a fake lease for the property in question. This is a complete breakdown of law.
It should be absolutely Legal to walk into your own home and while in fear for your life, shoot anyone inside that doesn’t belong there.
Only after that was shown did he do the job. His dispatcher also asked us to take a phone snapshot of the property tax bill and send her the picture.
The actual owner obviously has legal papers as well. Get several of your badass friends and move right back in. When the cops come show them your ownership status. When the thief shows the fake lease, the cop can’t arrest on that... after all, they say they cannot tell real from fake enough. So how can they tell YOUR papers aren’t real.
Then give the Tony Soprano treatment to the thieves.
” They urge homeowners and management companies to post “no trespassing” signs clearly on their property. “
What total crap. So if you don’t put no trespassing signs it must be OK for people to break in and take over your home.
there seems to be a rash of these activities, enacted by self-described “sorts of American nationals or moorish Americans”, which both fit the ‘sovereign citizen’ movement, groups who play fast and loose with the U.S. Constitution married to abstract ‘universal codes and ccommon law’.
The Youtube channels, “Law Talk with Mike” and “Blackhart Knight” have a trundle of videos on these subjects.
Typical squatgroids.
This isn’t a job for patrol cops, they are there to keep the peace, not sort out property rights. This SHOULD be a thing local elected officials, particularly the sheriff, mayor, zoning official, etc... should be able to move on with great haste, if they wanted to stay in office. Of course that is assuming a lot.
Armed and masked intruders should throw them out by force shooting as many as necessary.
I know the laws are different in every state, but why would you need to go through eviction proceedings if there isn’t a valid rental/lease agreement?
This makes zero sense.
Does this mean when I go on vacation, someone can just break into my house and I have to evict them? What’s the difference between that and someone breaking in and just helping themselves to a bedroom while I sleep?
There has to be more to the story.
I hear that a skunk scent stinkbomb can do wonders.
Double keyed deadbolts help, too. Preferably Assay Alboy, as they can’t be bumped or picked. (Not easily drilled)
If they break in, they have to come and go though a window.
Alarms and cameras.
Bars on vulnerable windows. Or high security screens.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT!
The neighbors should do what the guy did in a different thread. Wait until the squatters go out, then the neighbors move in and become the new “squatters”, protecting the property and keeping it safe.
***Still, the sheriff’s office said there’s not much they can do unless an actual crime is committed.***
An actual crime HAS been committed if people are squatting in someone’s home!

A sign. That oughta do it.
