Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem

When the police come the squatter says that they are illegal tenant that has been living there can you beat them up and threw them out. They say that you were renting them a room or some nonsense like that.

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.

we were talking about spain I think, but either way, I didnt say beat up, but then,

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
