There should be no freaking thing as *”Squatter’s Rights!”*. A tenant is a tenant. A Squatter is a CRIMINAL!
If she got her crew and threw that that bum onto the curb...I bet there is a woke liberal law in place that would get her arrested.
No lives are illegal, right?
@@Someone-kg8qf No but breaking into some ones house and staying there without permission, that illegal.
@@Someone-kg8qf no. Some lives are worth less than others. Yours for example isn't worth a dime.
@@Someone-kg8qf i need more info on this one. what?
The laws need to be changed ASAP, you shouldn’t have to legally evict someone that illegally entered your home.
They needs to be arrested, never understood having to evict a stranger that actually broke into your home.
Boycott Target
Yeah I saw one video where this lady rented her house for an air b n b & the wooly mammoth that rented it refused to leave bc she had been there X amount of days so the lady came back from vacation & had to deal w/not only the lady not leaving but also she was super rude & said “don’t come in MY room” it was insane & the home owner was so sweet & better than me bc I woulda dragged her out
As long as you live in an English society, you will be subject to the English common law which enforces adverse possession, understand the society you live in and adjust accordingly or leave.
The cops protect the squatters instead of kicking them out and arrest them.
Oh so if you’re a cop and the squatter takes over your home he goes to jail, but when you’re a regular law abiding citizen the squatter takes over your home and you have to fight it in court? Such BS
Was thinking about that, if a squatter invades a judge property I doubt the judge will spend the lengthy process they demand the public to go through.
@@chicherich exactly straight horse crap system we got here.
Exactly.. b.s.
Your beef is with the reporter, who gave a confusing explanation, not the police. There is a new law that some states are enacting, called an "intruder affidavit" that a homeowner can file, that allows the sheriff (but not police) to immediately remove the squatter. The police legally had to advise the homeowner (an Army officer, not police officer, by the way) that they could not evict the squatter. The reporter hid whether the police told the homeowner to contact the sheriff. The news station contacted the sheriff's office, who knew about the new law and affidavit, and were able to get the squatter out.
The reporter also confusingly made it appear that the squatter got arrested because of the affidavit. He was not, and other homeowners should not expect an arrest if they get an affidavit. The affidavit allows for eviction only. The squatter was arrested for drugs and being a felon in possession of a firearm, which was discovered during the eviction.
@@billparker174I didn't think any of this was "confusing" nor did I feel the journalist hid things. I've heard of exactly ONE state targeting squatters, and that is Florida, by charging a fee to change locks & remove the property of a squatter. It's fairly new. This was filmed 10 months ago in Nevada. I agree that bc of the Captain's service to the country, she was given privileges of which even the other person in the story couldn't avail themselves.🤷♀️
Abolish squatter right! Owner has rights!
Govern DeSantis signed a law to prevent squaters for entering people's homes

He is not a squatter. He is a home invader, a criminal no different than a burglar, or a robber.
What do you expect out of his kind - if this POS wants a house, let him get a job
To be fair, look what they do with those who make illegal entry to the UK- they put them up in hotels, provide meals and cash. It seems to be the new way of doing things.
Absolutely
*A Squatter
I wonder how he found out about a vacant newly-renovated house in the area? Due diligence research?
He literally broke into a government officials house that should be a felony.
No that’s just a racist way to look at it this is a young and educated black man who is a homeowner who was unjustifiably removed from his own home. He smart and understands his local laws. You’re just a racist who doesn’t want to see a young black man winning. He deserves to live in that house for free while the lady pays for all the utilities and expenses. I’m sure he contributes a lot to his local community and society as a whole.
No ones commented how it was easily handled after that sheriff got called out by the news
Breaking into anyone's house should be..
@@sandystormableI did.. I think they need a new sheriff.. if they knew they could do it but didn't until called out.. man what kind of low life is the sheriffs department.. pitiful

For cripes sakes. Even the idea that a convicted criminal broke into an active duty officer's home and squatted in it absolutely floors and enrages me. This country needs to stop this squatting stuff, and now.
Eviction isn’t enough. Criminal penalties and restitution is a must.

I'll never understand how squatters have so much power in the US. Unbelievable to me.
Obviously either the law makers are asleep at the wheel, or the police are too weak to do the "right thing". I hope they get their crap together because home owners are not going to put up with this eviction process thing and cost thousands. I personally wouldn't rely on the police. They have shown time and time again they are weak in this situation, and the definitely don't have it together in most situations. When people take things into their own hands then they want to blame the homeowner. Sorry, if the jury is too weak or stupid, to see what is right, then the system is broken.
@@TL-wy1nk These are generally civil matters so the police don't have any authority if it's not a criminal matter. Lawmakers are the ones who need to change the laws. Also, the banks/mortgage lenders need to do more as well. I have seen so many videos or squatters moving in after people have been foreclosed on. So the bank forecloses on and evicts the person who had the loan and for whatever reason could no longer pay, but they are fine with squatters invading the home and not paying a cent. There's a lot of blame to go around for a broken system and the squatters are exposing the loopholes. Glad this guy got caught, kicked out and arrested.
L.I.B.E.R.A.L.S. prey on the criminal (votes baby). They luuuuv the criminal (votes baby). They luuuvvvv the violence (votes baby).
It's not that they have power. It's that it's simply not an easy thing to prove. So a cop shows up and there are two people with paperwork and both are saying the house belongs to them. Now realistically, anyone should be able to prove in less than a day that the house belongs to them. If I can
1. produce a mortgage statement with my name on it, that at least shows I either have a mortgage or home equity loan on the house. How would I get that if I didn't own the house?
2. show the deed, which will have the bank's name and my name on it, then again, this would prove ownership.
However, it's still not that simple. I can fake those two documents. Now, it's up to the cops to call the mortgage company and the mortgage company with the owner there. It's up to them to then go to the town and confirm the deed isn't fake. They don't have teams that they can dedicate to squatting cases.
I think the best you can do is make sure there's always someone in the house. Because even in this case, you know damn well this thief probably caused a lot of damage on the way out.
we have a lot of cowards who are afraid to kick in the door with a 44.
Awesome lady!!! For serving AND for not backing down in this scenerio!!!
So WHY can't they use this same exclusion to get rid of all squatters? Why is it the EXCEPTION rather than the rule?
It sounds like the cops chose not to enforce the law until the publicity forced them to
It's totally mind boggling how squatters have more rights than a law abiding tax payer.😮
Insane!!🤨

Possession is 9/10s of law
@@andrewmckinlay2964 now that's the idea! 🤔😆💯

It is ridiculous that the law protects squatters over the legitimate owners.
Yes sometimes that’s true.
My son went to rent a home, when he got to address key would not work. Squatters had moved into home an Realtor didn’t even know about it. 🙄
Because it’s Jewland
Gotta love the Homestead Act
It sucks but the intention is so people legally renting a property cannot be kicked to the curb every time a land lord gets pissed off. Unfortunately it also allows the squatters to have way too many rights. There needs to be a better way, but idk what that way is.
Liberals ruin everything
Start arresting people! This is ridiculous! No, it called trespassing! Good for you lady- justice served.
I love this “intruder affidavit” that the police used. So why aren’t all police departments using this tactic?
We're a sad society when criminals have more rights that law abiding citizens.
Exactly why she had to get the media involved. If not, she'd still be fighting.
That's nothing new in America, my friend.
liberal democrats, you can thank them for making laws to protect criminals.
It has nothing to do with “criminals have more rights”, those eviction laws are in place to protect “law abiding citizens” from corrupt property owners. Sometimes laws get abused by criminals, that’s the part that isn’t new.
Well squatter laws were created so that the powerful could take land from the weak. It is interesting to see the law now being used as intended, but by criminals.
This is sickening. I had the same thing happen to my dads home when he went into a nursing facility. I had to take them to court. They destroyed much of the property after they were served papers. Where are the laws to protect homeowners? Squatters should not have any rights!
How did they even know your house was empty?
@@redraven_y2k probably a worker at the nursing home.
Where you ever paid back?
@@redraven_y2k . They are professional vagrants. As soon as they see a place locked up, they move in. They are who they are, but to know that the law is on their side is very infuriating to homeowners.
@@Anne-po99 this is very true, I've had more than once had someone probing to see if anyone is home-- either to B&E and the last time I'm 90% sure looking for a place to squat.

Every squatter is a criminal who has invaded a home and should be arrested and jailed. Squatter protection laws are absolutely insane. What deranged politicians came up with something that crazy.
I would say democrats did it!!
@@williamkaphingst8210 I am sure you are right about that. I am not a democrat or republican as both parties are crazy in different ways.
Thank you for your service precious lady , so sorry you had to go through that, God bless you .
Who ever made up that ridiculous law "Squatters Rights" needs putting against a wall.
Yeah or the good gullitine treatment for sure 😂
squatters rights used to only be for homes that were abandoned for years. You had to prove you lived and received mail at that home, depending on different states laws, usually 7,10 or more years. Which I find acceptable if neither the owner who abandoned the home, nor the city who now owns it, just left it there to rot. But this new thing of just taking over people's homes who are simply away or house is empty because they are selling it, is not squatters rights at all. The news needs to stop calling it that and say what it is,home invasion.
Needs some lead to resolve
@@nickmalone3143 👍
"Squatting Rights" Law's are centuries out of date.
This is ridiculous! Squatters aren’t tenants, they’re trespassers!
It's called breaking and entering, actually.

@@infancysguardthat’s true. That’s another reason they shouldn’t have tenant rights

@@Luluthecat-22 that would be tenancy, well-protected by other laws. "Squatter rights" do not really criss-cross with tenancy rights. It's partly true that law firms want this hogwash going on cuz homeowners can foot legal fees. Liberals also want it going for ideological resons.
Good for her and Thank you for your service!
This is getting out of hand!
This is insane: anybody can move into any house and call themselves a "squatter" and the real owner has to jump through all these hoops to get them out. What's a "squatter" if not an "intruder?"
In reality, how the laws work. Any scumbag can just squat, then get tosssed out and move to a new place. It's insane how the law protect these people. DISGUSTING.
Dead SOB if caught in my property.
Yeah well just imagine what the covid mandates did the millions of landlords and home owners! People didn't pay rent for years! Courts backed up and people out of money!
@@snikksnakk4445 they know the property owners have more money than the squatters so they go after the one with the money to do it the legal way and pay all the fees.
@@Yoyo-gl4xt This is something that the tax money should cover and protect us from. The STATE should deal with these so called squatters and force withdrawals from their income no matter how low it is. That's how ti should be. If you own the STATE money they go over mountains to get you to pay, if it's not they don't seem to care at all. Lame if you ask me.
Every time I hear about a squatter story, it amazes me how protected they are by the law when they are clearly in the wrong.
It's because the police can't verify who the real owner is, Or rather they can but have never been incentivized to do the paper work. There are clearly times when you have a rightful lease from the owner, but they just want to evict you anyway. The law originally was designed for there to be a due process in that event. Possibly just to make it harder for small time renters to earn money.
With a lease or mortgage in your name and they cant figure out the owner?
Same thoughts here.. If laws don't change - we could see much more of this.
If the woman had been white nothing would have happened
@@kennedystarr8094 Just because you have a lease or mortgage doesn't mean you haven't rented out your house. I would speculate that that the vast majority of rentals have a mortgage on them. So a mortgage only proves you own the house. It doesn't prove that you haven't rented it to someone else. Do you want to have legally rented a house from someone just for them to change their mind later and decide they want to kick you out without using the eviction process by simply claiming you are a squatter? I suspect much of this could be resolved by requiring all rental agreements be notarized and require a raised seal be used in the process. An ink stamp isn't secure enough. Perhaps require all rentals be recorded with the county at the time of execution as well. That would help eliminate the guess work.
It’s combinations of injustices like this which are routinely circulated throughout society to keep everyone nice and distracted from other events.
Thank you for your service. God bless you.
it's unbelievable that squatters have any "rights". It's burglary
Closing this loophole in a hamfisted way would be a great way to rob the rights of legitimate tenants. These are already weak enough in America, they don't need weakening yet further.
The best way to fix this problem i money isn't an object is a specific streamlined property rights court or tenant's court that could get hearing times way quicker. The big issue with why it takes so long right now is how slampacked civil courts are right now, meaning any hearing at all can take months to hold. More judges and dedicated courts would help that process enormously.
It's not burglary if the property was abandoned.
@@chrisdonish So a soldier transfered to another duty assignment means the house was abandoned ?
How bout anyone going to work, is that house abandoned too ?
Never call the police or any other government office. Take care of the problem yourself, take out the garbage and discus it if no one....
@FC if the house was empty long enough where someone can move all their furniture and set up residence there, then yes the house was abandoned, the story never mentioned if she was living at the address, just that she owned it, a lot of people buy up property just to hold it and build up equity and don't use it, the adverse possession law was created to prevent this sort of crap. It's a shame alot of Americans don't understand English common laws. We certainly wouldn't be having the homeless and housing crisis.
It's shameful that the police knew a way to help her sooner, but wouldn't help her until she got assistance from the media. Shameful.
Exactly and then they act like heroes for the cameras.
The police didn't help her . I know it can be confusing a badge is a badge after all . The police refused . And the Sheriff came in and said we can do it another way .

@@Rsmvbizz There is a legal process that the homeowner has to take in order to “prove” that the squatters don’t have a right to be there. It could take months and during Covid, years, to legally evict them. It a lengthy process that needs to change.
@ab alm It comes down to right and burden of proof. Another of time people will make a fake lease with fake payment. They switch utilities to their name and they claim ownership. The law requires that the property owner prove that the property belongs to them and that it wasn't rented or purchased.
It makes sense in the case of abusive landlords, but in the case of squatters, it's a shield that they abuse.

I’ll never understand why squatting is EVER allowed like this in the first place. It’s infuriating. Who made this law and WHY?!
Because if someone does not get their property back in so many years, the squatter gets to OWN that property, its a risk they take.
@@PosiFwd That doesn't answer the question bud
Cause some states give criminals more rights than law abiding citizens. It's stupid but true...
So basically how all this happened is that these laws were originally designed to help protect renters from predatory landlords. The idea is that a landlord can't just say one day: "I want you out tomorrow" for no reason. It doesn't give the tenant time to make other arrangements. So the law was basically that to kick someone out of a property that they were leasing from you, you had to give them a notice long enough for them to actually prepare to move.
To be clear: THESE LAWS ARE GOOD when used properly. The issue is that these people are making up fake documents and moving in to people's places. If the person who owns the property says that the person doesn't have a valid lease, it suddenly becomes a legal issue where a judge has to figure it out, because its just one person's word vs another.
Unfortunately, if we made it where the owner could just say that a lease is invalid and have the police drag the person away, it would negate all the laws protecting renters. Any landlord could just say the lease was invalid and kick people out if they wanted the space back. Poorer renters can't usually afford to fight stuff like that in court, especially if they are now homeless.
TL;DR: They are abusing a good-intentioned law in a way that wasn't considered when the law was created.
Some liberal Democrat, that’s who.
Vote Republican!

The problem is bad landlords would abuse the law to evict anyone they want at anytime while pocketing their money. Example, I own a property, rent it out to someone who puts up $5,000 up front. 2 weeks later, I claim they are a squatter.... And scummy landlords will do that.
@spatrick1964 I have to say...I rented when I was going to college and never had anyone do that but then I always demanded a receipt. I think nowadays...it's squatters abusing the laws.

@@tenfourproductionsllc that’s not a problem; renters sign a contract and get a copy of it as well as receipts (and if they don’t, it’s their own fault). Squatters have none of that.

@@PhilLesh69 yes, the civil eviction court process has no bearing on a criminal trespasser. They still go to court over their criminal trespass. Imagine thinking squatters should have any rights over the property. You're everything wrong with America
@@PhilLesh69 what? The courts with good ethics records like the supreme courts? Absolute jokes. ☝️
I'm so sick of these squatters being protected 😤
They shouldn't even be called squatters, they are just thieves plain and simple.
My brothers friend had a similar situation happen to him. But when his friend went to the house to try to talk to the squatter he found that someone else had kicked in the door and beat the squatter so badly that they had to be taken to the hospital
You were violated! Can't believe the nerve of that man!
How does a squatter, who in effect is a criminal trespasser, have the same rights to an unlawful detainer action that a holder of a valid lease has? The judicial system is truly broken.
It's not just trespassing. The report also mentions several times that the lease is fake, but the word "fraud" was not even mentioned once. If the lease is fake, will there be criminal charges filed against the squatter for committing fraud?
Yeah I’ve never understood this.
Ask politicians especially Democrats who protects criminals versus taxpayers citizens
Takes months to get a court date and even if you win, they can ask for a stay and appeal
The law is beyond stupid
Cities who allow squatters have more rights than homeowners is ridiculous. Politicians need to have their butts put in jail just because. Squatters should have NO RIGHTS WHAT-SO-EVER!
these cases are outright theft of property,trespass, more. but squatter rights are about different rather obscure situations. it's lousy law manipulation that is the cause. like someone buying your home that was sold fraudulently, legal incompetence may not admit to you that the buyer has no rights, since they bought stolen property. and cops helping military- special treatment, whereas they wouldn't a civilian, when they CAN do the right thing; well that makes yet another arm of the law complicit with the perpetrators of these crimes. Justice is served only in a society that doesn't perpetuate favoritism; and requires competence and strict honesty in in public and private positions that serve the society.
Black lives matter
This is completely and totally INSANE!!!!
Democratic states only! Get your facts straight
Go squat in their home. See how fast they address this issue.
Dang Man! That dude had some speakers, he was ready to throw a block party!😂
Messing with someone who serves her country is disgusting
They need to EXPOSE every single solitary politician who signed or agreed upon a bill for squatters rights , and after that they should removed or voted out of their positions immediately without haste. I am glad that the Lt. Col. got her property back and that criminal is behind bars where he rightfully belongs.
Damm Right 👉
Well I think a lot of these laws are like old 19th century laws from the 1800s and they should be removed
They’re all dead though
@@rabbitcouch15 dig em up throw em in the dumpster and claim their grave as your property
We should move into the politician's homes and squat on them. I'll bring my 2 large dogs and friends too to trash the place. Hey, I may even sublet one of the rooms out to create a second layer of squatters to complicate things. See how they like it.
Homeowners should not have to endure having to fight with squatters. Squatters should be Jailed and forced to pay restitution.
Restitution?
Tax Payers would, they’d B locked up 3 squares & rent free & a Yard Gym 🤣
Thank you Justin, Channel 2!
What the heck? Breaking into a house, occupying it and is labeled as “tenant”?
There need to be laws AGAINST squatters instead of FOR squatters. This is ridiculous.
It's so oxymoronic that we can willy-nilly go around shooting up high schools but these pricks don't get wasted.
Blame democrats. They put these laws into place
@@ClownBiden the old democrats did aka the republicans
@@ClownBiden Georgia is a Red state.
@@ClownBiden no one place has been ran by just one political party better question is why isn’t there places for these people to go?
This needs to be the way it should be. Quit catering to criminals and take care of the law-abiding citizens. It shouldn't take more than a day to take out the trash
It might take 3 weeks. The police still have to verify the paper trail to see who the rightful lease owner is. IE anyone can claim to be the rightful owner and show up with legal looking papers.
Having a gun is a beautiful thing. Permanent solutions are often the best.
Must be nice to be perfect. How'd you do it?
@@americannobody27 how was the commentary based on perfection? Elaborate, please..
@@americannobody27 Wtf are you talking about? You okay?
This is insanity !!! Happy for you Mam !
This is insane!
I am amazed and horrified that there are laws PROTECTING squatters.
If this had happened in California, the dude would be there until the next century.
Fire the law makers.
@@8mathdaddy 'fire them'
put them in the dirt.
These laws are created to keep chaos in the lower and middle class communities.
Why ? We protect killers and child molesters. Are you for real? lol
Eviction protection exists to protect tenants from being evicted unfairly, not to protect criminals that broke into your house who have no legal right to be there in the first place. The fact they don’t distinguish trespassers and tenants is ridiculous.
I'm not saying thus situation applies but there are incidents where scammers have tricked people into paying money for a place the scammer claims to own. When the actual owner shows up to the place is when the truth is revealed.
@@Floratic then the scammers are at fault, the people tricked still did not receive legal right to be there because it was a fraudulent scam. The owner should not have to pay for a crime perpetrated on them.
Obviously the scammers are at fault. But the scammers are now in the wind. Thus you have a tenant out of first and last months rent money and about to be evicted.
I didn't say the owner should pay for what the scammer did. My comment is in response to you thinking that all these people are criminals who broke into the house. The guy in this story is clearly a professional squatter, but a small few are actual decent people who were tricked.
Blame democrats who out these policies into place . But I bet you vote democratic so you are part of the problem
@@Floratic sucks for the tenants but if you bought stolen goods you have to return it to original owners even if you “paid” for it.
I thank this lady for her service and I hope those dogs are okay.
Im glad she was able to get help. Thank you for your service. It makes me sad when i see a woman in the army uniform. I was turned down not once but twice back in the 80's when i tried to join😢😢
This issue truly angers me. Criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens 😢
Obviously they dont
This dude thinks all black people are criminals, to put this comment in context.
@prahanormal A significant portion of them are. When ever a black person seeks to better himself, his own people berate him and call him "uncle tom". This goes to show that the black community endorses and promotes the criminal lifestyle. I welcome any black who has been called "uncle tom" to live in my neighborhood because that means he's a decent human being. All others are not welcome and never will be!
@@prahanormal First off, I'm not a dude and secondly, there are more white people squatting than black people. Get a life. The race card won't get you very far. Oh, by the way, I have friends and family who are black. You might wanna' think before you speak.
@prahanormal. No, that’s just you being the actual racist and taking his words out of context.
Disgusting. The criminals often have more rights than the victims.
Right! Look at the Politicians prime example
You just figured that out . I know that 20 years ago.CRIME DOSE PAY AND PAYS WELL.
Let's play Devils advocate here
You own a house
Someone steals your identity
They forge some documents aka title theft.
You get a knock on the door by the sheriff telling you, you are being evicted.
You will wish this process was slow and steady
I always say that when I think of gangs with badges.
@@Michael-sb8jfyeah good thing that never happens.
In the UK squatting was widespread until the law was changed some years ago, squatters cannot occupy residential property but continue to occupy commercial property
My MIL lost her home to squatters. They rented a room in her home where she was living. They moved in and never paid rent. Then started selling off her tools and furniture. It became a violent situation so she couldn't stay there anymore. The cops couldn't do anything.The squatters now legally own the property and she lives with her son.
Wow the nerve of him to steal her house from under her and falsely claim that’s his house is the most horrible thing that anyone can do no matter by their race or color is totally wrong hopefully he’ll be held accountable for his actions… Hopefully our government leaders will pass a law that protects homeowners from squatters stealing their property especially while their serving our country
I know.. our country is a terrible 3rd world joke. The punch line is finally in and no one wants to take the fall for it. Reform needs to happen.
I knew that it would work out on her favor. That's an Army Officer: There's no telling WHO SHE KNOWS in the court system.....people like her got connections EVERYWHERE👈😳
When he found out she was military, he shoulda booked.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone that is working legally who owns their house this law should work asap
@@mcole442 Damm right 👉
It's normal for black men mostly.... I'm just saying the collective you know...😂
“It feels good when you can return the home to the homeowner.” That statement alone is mind blowing 🤯
Politicians let this to go on because they can buy the homes up for pennies when the owner gives up the process.. Its a total scam to enrich politicians
Unbelievable
Its disgusting how the legal system enables squatters to just sit there for months while the actual owners have to spend money for attorney fees...
A bullet costs a buck. Just saying
@@cjay2 That's what I was thinking
I'm so glad she got her house back! When military is on active duty, all our law enforcement should support them if a squatter moves into their home!❤️
Or send in some retired military personnel and force them out the military way and I approve this message 😂
She was in love with him then she found out he was cheating in her house so she making this up,I live next door 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you 👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏

Just when you thought that you had heard it all, something else would come along and blow your mind. These individuals are so bold & entitled. What gives them the right to violate someone like that?
Lt. Colonel, God Bless you.
This is how it should go for every homeowner dealing with a squatter. The laws around this need to be drastically changed to protect the homeowner and not the squatter.
Naw, squatters should not involve the courts. That should just be taken care of immediately by the property owner.
I’m a retired Prosecutor and Judge and the cases that I hated the most were landlords/tenant cases. If a squatter somehow got a lawyer through Legal Aid, agencies that would represent a tenant for free, a case could hang around for months before it ended in a trial. Meanwhile the home owner would be without a place to stay and thousands of dollars for their own legal fees. Then, these free lawyers would often file an appeals, taking several more months. The system was totally broken.
Thanks for your service to The Criminal Justice System ♎.
@@user-rv9qx9sp1y 😎It was a wonderful, terrific and fascinating career. I started as a Juvenile Probation Officer and found that my favorite part of the job was going to Court. I used to think that you had to be really smart and special to be a lawyer, but soon found out that I knew more about Juvenile law and Court procedures than many of the lawyers. So I figured if they could do it, so could I. It was hard to get into a good law school with my C average grade point average (2.69). So I got a real powerful Judge who liked my work and got him to write a letter of recommendation. The Judge said I should write the letter and he would sign it. It was a terrific detailed glowing letter and I got into one of the two State Law Schools and found that I had a good feel for law and got a 3.75 gpa and was number three in the class.
Judge the system evidently still is broken
That's nuts. Who wrote that law, a squatter! 🤔
@@theocho8689 the law is actually a pretty balanced one, but sleezy people can and do twist it around. What could be done to a squatter and has successfully been done when there’s a squatter, is for the owner to wait till the squatter goes out say to shop. Then enter his home, remove the squatter’s crap and take possession. Basically squat on the squatter. It can only be done before any court case is filed. If the squatter calls the cops, they won’t remove an owner from his house anymore than they would remove the squatter. They’ll likely say this is a civil matter, take it to Court. The squatter loses as he has no grounds to legally complain. This can’t be done if there was a legitimate lease, though. But a true squatter who has no previous lease right’s can’t complain legally.
Right on! 💪
A squatter is not A renter! They should not have to be taken to Court! That is ridiculous! They are Burglers breaking into your Home , it is Disgusting when You law enforcement does nothing!
It’s ridiculous how someone has more legal rights to someone’s property when they have taken possession of it illegally!!! Laws need to be changed to protect the homeowners.
What i also hate is how easy it is to break into houses. This is why i dont want one!
Well that’s not the case. That’s why he was forced out and arrested.
Yeah, only after using an uncommon method to remove him. You heard the video... the eviction process usually takes months. Or did you miss that part?
It's all about MONEY
Laws need to be passed against squatters
Right! Against them instead not in support of them. Ridiculous!
So how long have you been collecting disability benefits? Who pays your rent? I can guarantee you don't work 40 hrs a week
It needs to be legal to dispatch them.
Liberals ruin everything
The poor ppl in America should burn all of your houses to the ground. Maybe then something would be done about homeless and the housing SCAM/crisis.
Any squatter should be forced out of another person’s home as soon as they are found! No formal eviction process should be needed…it is crazy to do so!
I am so happy for her!🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾 Protect the Homeowner!!
Criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens. If someone is in my home, they aren't squatting, they are trespassing.
