They asked what will they do, call the police? I suspect that's exactly what they would do.
im not saying to beat the squatter to a bloody pulp, im just saying, you go in, they are evicted, end of story
In California the courts hold squatters innocent until proven guilty through a lengthy legal process. Meanwhile you are charged for with no delay because it is illegal to beat someone even if they are squatting in your house.
I don't like it, but this is the situation when the law is on the squatters side.
what stops me from going outside a random house, call police, and have the residents hauled away saying EXACTLY what you just said?
and IF what you say is true, I would think that any squatter trying such a thing would be suicidal, because IF this is the outcome that would happen, perhaps residents might consider a slightly different solution
It’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. Unless they agree to leave, throwing them out will look like an assault. They’ll call the cops first and good luck going through a 3 year court process while the squatters live in and trash your place. And you better not turn the electricity or water off! They’ll complain as having have medical and sanitary needs and you put their lives in danger.
It can take years and six figures to get a squatter out.
