Too many Dems in office. VOTE every DEM out! DEMs like criminals, Druggies, and Homeless more than Law Abiding, and Tax Payers. IF VOTE for a DEM you are part of the problem!!!!!
the fact that some people still consider our pigs help is stunning...i mean how disgusting do you have to get before people realize you are a piece of shi. apparently repeatedly hiding while 1 punk takes his time gunning down dozens of children is not disgusting enough...and idiots still think these scum are here to protect them...people that stupid deserve what these pigs do to them...i still cant believe there arent 300 pigs hung in uvalde....
There was a case about something like this, I don't remember exactly what it was, but it had something to do with burglary. Some dude robbed a politicians house and then that politician adjusted the law to prevent this. There was a video, but I don't remember, I'm not sure it was a burglary. But basically it was a politician that only changed the law when he was personally affected.
What’s even crazier is imminent domain stuff. Basically if the actual home owner is away from house for however long (usually years) a person can legally occupy a property and claim it as theirs and if the homeowner or bank doesn’t dispute it the property legally becomes theirs. That’s the ultimate goal of most squatters. But it rarely happens. But for the legal methods of sheriff removal of squatters usually takes 3-6 months (if not longer).
Tenants do and that is where the problem lies. Well, not the fact tenants have rights, but the fact that as some point the police do not know the difference between a legitimate tenant or a squatter/trespasser. That is why you need to get an eviction trough a court first as at the point it is up to a judge to validate you claim they are there illegally. That all in my opinion makes sense and is fine. However it should be punishable (in my country it luckily is now, but only since 2010) and the process should be done quickly as to reduce financial and emotional cost to the home owner.
far as i'm aware squatters law was removed here in missouri, this has left an odd situation where there's decaying abandoned structures everywhere though.
@@spamcheck9431 Ah yes, I totally forgot the "native" americans did the same to the Clovis. Only difference is, the European settlers sucked at genocide.
@@tadaskay79The Clovis are Native Americans. The Euro were pretty good at genocide considering they killed nearly a 100 million natives. None of this changes the fact that Euros are like squatters.
@@jonathanxavier2026 Slight corrections on your statement. 1) The Clovis were the discoverers of NA, they were the original "native" Americans. Until the tribes that we call "native Americans" settled on the lands and completely wiped them out. 2) There weren't 100 million "native" Americans when the colonists settled, not even close. 3) The "native" Americans lost the war. Ask Poland what happens when you lose a war. As I said, the "native" Americans were just better at genocide. They wiped out an entire species of humans. The Europeans at least let them live...Until the "native" Americans gave them tobacco and have steadily killed more people than the settlers did.
@tadaskay79 While I appreciate the corrections, they might be entirely a work of fiction. You're right that contemporary anthropology accepts the Clovis people as the discoverers of NA. That's about as far as the truth goes before you venture into fantasy. There is no record of subsequent migrations wiping out the Clovis. It appears as if you're very confused as to who the Clovis were. They are a Paeloindian group who migrated across the bearing straight who used ivory and stone to fashion weapons of a particular style known as the Clovis. They are the ancestors of Native Americans, a group you claim isn't native. There were subsequent migrations from the same region, but by and large, the Clovis are the ancestors to 80% of Native Americans. Here's a source for the fact that most native Americans are decendants of the Clovis people. Raff, J. A.; Bolnick, D. A. "Palaeogenomics: Genetic roots of the first Americans." Nature. You're absolutely right that there weren't 100 million natives in North America at any given moment. However, the genocide of the Native Americans wasn't a singular event but rather a continuous, sustained, and methodical effort to erase them. This is so well understood that there's little contention among scholars. The precise number, however, seems to be up for debate. Nevertheless, the most accurate estimates place the number of natives subject to a genocide at 100 million. The source for this number is cited here. Denevan, William M., ed. (1992). The Native population of the Americas in 1492. Lost a war? I find war a politically correct term designed to mask the true nature of evil that is committed. You call it a war to attempt to justify the theft of land, genocide and ethnic cleansing. You are hopelessly clueless about this subject, contradict established scholars on the designation of the Native Americans as the natives of the Americas, and invented some fantasy about the "tribes we now call the natives wiping out the clovis". I suppose this is the sort of intellectual rigour you can expect from a steven crowder or Sargon fan.
For God’s sake. Do Republicans not know anything about the history of the country they claim to love. Squatters rights originated in England where land was only taxed if it was being used. Landowners allowed big tracts of their property to lay fallow to reduce their taxes. People would occasionally move onto this land & build a house & plant a garden & crops. Since the land was now being used it was taxed which meant more money in the King’s coffers so the practice was allowed & squatters given rights by the Crown. If the squatters stayed on the land for 20 years it became theirs. America adopted these squatters rights laws with the Homestead Act of 1862 which allowed settlers to take over unclaimed land at the start of Westward Expansion. Squatters rights have nothing to do with Democrats. The origins started long before Europeans “discovered” America & in 1860 The Homestead Act (which was basically the same as the laws in England) was on the REPUBLICAN platform. When it passed in 1862 REPUBLICANS controlled Congress & it was signed into law by President Lincoln.
@@learobinson4450, Homesteading is not squatters rights. The Declaration of Independence was a rejection of English law. You are good at gaslighting but that is all.
freedomforever6718. Stating facts is not gaslighting. Facts are that which remain the same despite how one feels about them. In other words facts are facts whether you like it or not. Fact: the Declaration of Independence rejected English RULE. It said America was an independent country, not an English colony & set the groundwork for forming a new government of elected officials. It did not void all the laws in place in America at the time. And the Homestead Act was passed in 1862, nearly 100 years after the American Revolution. It was based on the laws in England & other parts of Europe & was originally meant for homesteaders & settlers but it has remained the law & today squatters are exploiting it to move into empty houses. That happens all the time. Laws passed for one purpose are used for another. I feel sorry for all who are so ignorant & closed minded that they feel threatened by truth & facts. You have my pity.
@@learobinson4450 , More gaslighting. Homesteading is the government allowing citizens to claim land owned by the government. Squatters are trespassing on private property already owned by private citizens. These are two completely different things no matter how hard you try to make them the same. Stop wasting people's time with your Leftist nonsense. BTW, I am not, as you idiotically assume, a Republican.
We shouldn't need laws to protect property and homeowners' rights. If someone's squatting, the owner should be able to just Kick them out, have 'em arrested!
They went into an unoccupied residence. What they did was illegal, but that's not something that they can be arrested for according to current law. Believe me, if it sounds like they're catering to the criminal it's because they are.@@deadli-us
@@edh_alters7116 The “unoccupied” part is the problem. Say a family goes out to dinner and they come back to find people in their home. Again - seems like the exact same scenario as a home invasion to me and should be dealt with accordingly.
They will kick you out for failing to pay the mortgage or property taxes but they won't evict the people that are causing you to not be able to pay those same things
It takes months though. A family up the street overpaid for their house during the housing boom in the late 2000s. They quit paying their mortgage and it was almost a year before they had to move out.
its only because there are such horrible home owners that rent. so they had to help protect people like this. the loop hole ofc is squatters.... so its a catch 22 in a sense. yes its bs that there are squatters. but same time as i also stated. shitty people do shitty things.
It’s more insane that politicians can receive millions in donations but we don’t care cause we keep voting for the same extremely old and corrupt people 🐑 🐑 🐑
please keep voting democrat. More squatters, illegals, crime and drugs. You feel good voting far left democrat, don't ya ? Don't even realize you are destroying your own city.
Actually it's better this way, you only hear about the cases where the law is abused, not where it works as intended. These laws are basically in place to prevent corporations from buying up tons of homes, and then not allowing anyone to live in them unless they pay exorbitant rental fees. Squatter rights actually work to help keep property costs from skyrocketing. Current state of things if landlords set the rent/sale price too high, most likely that property is unrented/unsold and becomes a tax expense and fiscal liability, until they lower the price. With squatter rights in place, someone could hypothetically be like "$3000/month for a 1 bedroom house? Pft, no, how about $0. I'm moving in." And they can't do jack about it, really. So now not only are they not renting/selling the property, it's accruing MORE wear and tear than if it were simply sitting vacant. Of course you get situations like this where people just move into a random privately owned house, and yeah of course it gets national attention. But these are extremely rare, compared to the literal tens of millions of homes protected by the laws.
@SirJinxus-ew9kk What are you talking about, we all just watched Roger Stone give his "possession is 9/10ths of the law" speech. He's not a dem, he worked for the last republican president.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT THE POLICE COULD BE REPLACED WITH AN APP??? OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD REQUIRE USING MONEY AS A FORM OF CONTROL.... MMMWWWWHHHAAAAAA!!!!
Is that true? FOX could tell you, but notice that they didn't tell you if that's true? Yeeeaaahhhh.... That guy read some stuff overnight. FOX has a huge legal department that could just tell them what's true, but instead they ran a rage piece. And you bought it without any critical thought.
Years ago here, a guy couldn’t get rid of renters who were not paying or moving. He showed up with a truck and tools, said “I’m working on the house,” tore the bathroom off, then left. They moved. THEN he built his renovated bathroom.
Many years ago, my mother had deadbeat tenants who wouldn’t pay the rent. I was tired of seeing her being taken advantage of. So I took the doors off the house and kept them. They didn’t last two days before they left.
I am a California attorney who specializes in real estate law. After carefully listening to Flash's video, I agree that his approach is legally valid. ⚖️
The fact is, they do. Removing a squatter is no different than evicting a tenant from a rental property. There is a legal process you must go through. The reason you cannot simply call the police is because they cannot sort out the situation right then and there is adverse claims are made by both parties. In typical squatter scenarios, the property is owned by Person A, and occupied by Person B (the squatter). Person A, while they own the property, generally does not live there (nor does anyone else other than the squatter(s)). So, the police are called, and the property owner (who likely doesn't have the deed on them) tells them this person is trespassing. The squatter likely denies this, but also doesn't likely have a lease (fake or otherwise) to prove it. So, neither party has proof of anything ... therefore the police cannot act. This does protect the squatter, in a sense ... but it also protects legitimate tenants from caustic land lords. So, the court proceeding starts. The best thing to do, as a property owner, to prevent squatters, is to not leave your property unoccupied for very long. Keep the entrances VERY secure, and check on it frequently. If you catch a window of opportunity like this guy did, you can force them out while they are gone. Since they aren't legal tenants, they have no legal recourse against you. However, any physical contact with them can (and likely will) result in assault charges against you. However, in some states you may not remove their stuff from the premises, change the locks, or shut off utilities. So, check your local laws first. I believe, while the video shows items out on the lawn, the individual here simply locked the house up (with existing locks) and told them they had a day to get their stuff out or lose it. He did not move the items out of the home himself.
@@strada624 There was a story where some dude lived on someones land for like 26 years not even being noticed by the other person. That is THE ONLY acception as if you last that long and don't bother anyone that isn't the same as taking over the house
@@silverscalederg8632 yes, one of the provisions for a squatter to claim ownership is that they must be living obviously and in the open. If they are hiding in a remote section of land, that's problematic for them.
@@ericlutz7939 I was referring to squatters in general. Perhaps, you don’t understand the distinction with use of the plural versus singular word. Or, maybe your reading comprehension ain’t so good.
I'll never understand why the law claims there's nothing they can do. Living in someones house without their permission is trespassing which is illegal.
It seems it all started with the Homestead act when the US govt made it legal for pioneers to occupy land that they perceived as vacant, basically to create a legal basis for stealing form indians.
@@kathyr.8135so if I was to get my firearm when the squatters showed up and they refused to leave, wouldn’t I be in my right to shoot them? Just curious. In California, I’d imagine I would go to prison for shooting someone who entered my home without my permission. 😂
How in the hell does a homeowner have no rights regarding their home? When police or officials refuse to do the legal thing, doing it ourselves is the only solution. Good job guy!!
do you think homeowners are the only ones losing their rights????have you been watching our criminal pigs the last few years..they are straight criminals...our entire govt has gone power mad ...you have watched thes scum violate every right we have...people staying in empy houses is nothing to the carnage this govt is bringing down on us
LOL take a look at the LARGER question. "Homeowner"? Where? In AMERICA? lol You don't own chit. Even after your done paying the downpayment 'mortgage' you will never be done paying for it. Stop paying the government for the right to retain your own home (extortion) and sure as chit they gonna TAKE IT FROM YOU. Now I ask you, WHAT DID YOU "own"? Define "ownership"? I thought "owning" meant it was mine part and parcel, and cannot be taken from me as I have a right to protect what is "mine"? AMERICA< WHAT A JOKE
@@SteelSails You do make a good point. I call property tax "land rent", because if you don't pay it, they take it away from you....which means it never truly belonged to you.
@@SteelSailsyou know what they meant. Yes they own the home, not the land. If you can’t pay the land, government takes over but you’ll still get proceeds from your home if they do sell it. America isn’t the only place property taxes are paid, lots of countries do the same
I had my niece and nephew stay with us for 3 months and I couldn't kick them out. But was horrible. No one is staying here or living with me and my husband ever.
My question is what if the squatters damage the property? Then can they be removed or do you have to eat the damage? Can they be held liable for said property damage?
Squatters rights are a strange anomaly that I have never heard about outside the USA. I can’t help but wonder what circumstances led to such weird laws being enacted in the first place??
I’ve heard of these situations and can’t believe the owners have no rights. Thank God for this man and his willingness to help change the law. I wish him the best!

FOX has a huge legal department that could just tell them what's true, but instead they ran a rage piece. And you bought it without any critical thought. Owners have rights, and you're an idiot for believing this, and a fool for not just... checking yourself! We have the internet. Fact check! Sheesh!
Their is this situation where someone owns the home and it's a balls. Also, others where no one owns the home and it's just empty and has no occupier. Can't blame a dude for chancing their arm if they have no place to go, especially in modern times when you can't get planning permission or come close to affording a house. It certainly is more complex than just one-side wins but i defiantly would side on the owners if they were owners of the property for a number of years only. Last thing you want is banks repossessing homes and kicking people out immediately unless that's a different situation. Regardless you have to be careful with law because one open door equals multiple sanctuary cities and your paying 500 dollars a night to house an immigrant in a five star hotel.
If law enforcement and courts won't protect a property owner's rights than all property taxes should be null and void. Any previously paid taxes should then be refunded.
My brother was a victim to a squatter. He was renting to someone, the someone’s daughter moved in. He moved out and the daughter stayed. Had to pay to have an eviction notice served. When she finally moved out he had to spend almost $30k for repairs.
@@WildflowerAnn Don't feel too bad this guy was renting out a spare property. That's another side of the housing problem... people who see a house as an income.
@@Idle_Hands No reason a house can't be an income. It worked well for a long time. The problem is corporations buying hundreds or thousands of homes to rent out. That (and immigration) create the housing crisis, not some guys having a second home they rent out.
Squatters tried that on our family’s place a few years ago. We waited till they left and me, my dad, my 3 brothers and 2 friends loaded their stuff in a U-haul and took it to a park down the street, in less than 30 mins. They came back and we told them we own the place. They came back with the Sheriff and we acted as if we had no idea WTH they are even talking about (that’s why we didn’t involve authorities). Not sure if they even got their stuff back or not 😂
So neighborhood kids get charged with crimes when they break into abandon houses to explore and be dumb kids, yet grown adults can just move into someone elses house and theres no legal recourse
Allowing them to take their stuff back was extremely forgiving of you. They stole your mom's house! I would have burned their furniture on the lawn while they watched.
I’m pretty sure they just grab whatever furniture off the street and throw it into the house to meet the squatter requirements. Furniture is probably full of roaches, mites, bedbugs etc… I would throw that furniture out immediately
Back in 2007, during my time working in real estate, I witnessed people purchasing newly built homes from builders with the plan to sell them before the closing of escrow to another buyer for a profit. The crash hit hard and fast, and I vividly recall many of these units ending up foreclosed upon, with the builder's plastic still covering the carpets.

What's funnier is that the squatters DID NOT change the locks so he just strolled in during the day and installed the cameras. If they did, his plan would not work.
More like protect the dumb. They let idiots and the rich get away from everything but middle class or educated people get punished. Keep america dumb! 🇺🇸
Many of these sort of laws are extended interpretations of very old laws that had very different intent in a very different time (lower land values and property taxes). Or they were laws passed in the era when socialism was on the rise and still considered a legitimate theory (very early 1900s). In the frst case actual "squatters rights" don't actually exist it is just a loophole in the legal system; The furniture is prima facia evidence that they are living there and not just tresspassing, therefore it becomes a civil land dispute to be settled by a civil court. The "squatters rights" come from the fact that the civil case takes a long time and they can continue living in the house during that time.
actually they are from feudalist laws. In feudalism state owns everything(like socialism and communism). So this is a way for the state to bully home owners.@@TheDuckofDoom.
My maternal grandfather, back in the 40s, had squatters in a small log cabin on his property. He tried everything available to him at the time, but, like this man couldn't even get help from law enforcement. So, one day, he waited for all of them to leave for the day and burned it down. It's amazing, after all this time, that it's still a problem.
@@notchomomma239 Believe it or not, people have been squatting longer than the laws allowed it. Or in other words, the act of squatting was not invented in 2008 like you seem to think it was.
@@VintageDynamohe meant that it was weird that law enforcement didn’t force the squatters to leave because there weren’t laws protecting squatters back then.
How is squatting in someone's home any different than stealing a car? If someone steals a car the police don't hesitate to pull the thief out and arrest them. The same should be with a home.
Idk how it works where the guy in the video lives, but normally squatters only get rights after they've lived in a place for years. The idea being if someone has been maintaining a property for years and no one has noticed or cared enough to tell them to leave, they can claim residence.
You can understand if you choose to educate yourself. That's not an insult but a reality that the situation we are in now has it's roots in laws that were established very early on in US history. It's actually a pretty interesting topic with some degree of nuance. Of course, blaming a political party in its current iteration for every inconvenience and headache under the sun is easier for most people in the comments lol
Someone tried squatting in my house in the UK . I waited or him to leave , changed the locks , and waited for him to return . As he approached the door I answered with my crossbow in my hand , told him he could find his belongings on the river bank , and if I even see him in the village again after 1 hour passes he will be in that river . Job done , never heard of the little shite again.
I love how so many of our laws are in the books to protect the criminal. The police should have a right to go in there and drag those thieves out by their hair, kicking and screaming all the way to the streets. Or the homeowner should have a right to go in and take them out, anyway fit to get them off of their property. Squatters are the scourge of this earth, and if they don’t revamp these laws these major cities that are bursting with homeless people are going to have a serious situation on their hands when they start taking over entire apartment buildings.
We don't need new laws. We need to correctly enforce the ones we have. Squatters rights include RESPONSIBILITY for upkeep and even improvements to the property. Enforce the law correctly and this goes away.
And DO NOT call anyone afterwards, specifically law enforcement since they themselves and explicitly so said that “there’s nothing they can do” in such cases, so it’s none of their business when you get rid of the terror threats yourself by force! 👌🏻
This man is truly a great son - and also very smart. He really did his research. I'm so glad this went well for him and his mother. Our world really is upside-down.
So YOU have to pay rent and property taxes....yet squatters have all rights to your house? 🤦♀️ someone needs to sue the US government for allowing this to happen.
The biggest mistake by the homeowners is to report them to the police or go to court. That is admitting that you acknowledge that they're squatters. If you find anyone living in your home, get friends and family to physically remove them. Then they can go report to the police or go to court
Yeah, but not everyone has "contacts". And it doesn't solve the bottom problem anyways. This man's seeing the bigger picture: the law must change so anyone can just call 911 and have them removed right away.
Here in NV, we passed laws preventing squatting. Squatting no longer exists under NV law. the only way a squatter can make any claims is by Adverse Possession, which requires they live on the property for 5 consecutive years, pay all property tax during those years and are never asked to vacate.
Same thing happened to my buddy. Squatters took over his grandma’s house after she died. He showed up with a couple huge friends. Politely explained that he would beat them to a pulp if they weren’t gone by morning. And they were gone the next day.
I don't understand how that wouldn't be the first response for anybody in that situation. As soon as I see somebody in my grandmother's house I wouldn't be able to control my anger nor actions.
It is, it just has to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to prove that they aren't legitimate tenants. The law isn't actually broken, it's the court systems that fail in this case.
I mean, even without those rights, its implied I can still do it. What's stopping me from forging a contract where YOU gave your house to ME? Last I checked, cops aren't specifically versed in contract law, or even taught the techniques and technologies used to detect fraudulent signatures. So long as you have a written document handing the house over to yourself and some scribble lines for the signature, the cops can't do anything. It's purely a civil case at that point.
You need to stop letting your emotions cloud your mind. World history is full of people who don’t want to give rights to people because they’re whipped up in a frenzy. And then when you’re in trouble you don’t have those rights anymore. Adjusting the law to be properly calibrated is one thing, But stripping people of the rights is another and will have huge consequences. And I don’t really agree that criminals have too many rides. Just because certain laws are not enforced in proper punishments are not handed out does it mean people have too many rides. As humans we can use our minds or we can just be emotional and lash out. That’s what got us in the situation in the first place. When the policing system and Justin system were often too harsh, instead of correcting it the pendulum swung way to the other direction. And now it’s saying people such as yourself want to throw it back even further in the other direction. I’m always perplexed at how history repeats itself in one form or another.
I had to sue a squatter out of the home that moved their stuff in the middle of the night and when I found out their names, they had done the same thing eight times in a row. In fact the same attorney I used to assist with the case was coincidently hired by the last victim. I would drive by the house and the kids would laugh at me from the front lawn. Even a 7 year old knows we are powerless and have no rights.
Only in America can you be the criminal and have more rights than a law abiding, tax paying, hard working, pay for what they have earned citizen. Where living in bizarro world.
It’s just insane that squatters, a tenant and apparently everyone except the owner have more rights over the property. It should be jail for people doing this, they’re criminals and they know it.
It should be jail or heavy taxes for companies that buy up homes just to let them sit empty to further drive prices up. Housing should not be a for-profit industry. I need to live somewhere. I wasn’t born to make others that I will never meet richer.

The police refused to help and adviced the homeowners to get a lawyer. It normally took about a year to evict squatters and thousands of $£$£ in lawyer and court fees. Even worse, the squatters took all the personal possessions of the home owners like family photo albums, collections, clothing, baby clothes, certificates, diplomas, medical papers, etc, and threw them out of the windows into the rear garden to rot.

Squatter's rights might have had it's place at one time, but that time is no more. Laws need to be changed. After my mother died, her home was empty for several years. First, we needed time to grieve before going through her home and dividing things up, selling some things, trashing some things, etc. Second, the house needed to be renovated before my niece and her children could move in. Thankfully, we live in a very small county, and my sister and I live within walking distance of our mother's home. In Autumn/Winter, when the trees are bare, I can see my mother's place from my front porch. I would have been livid if squatters had moved in and took over the place. I grew up in that house from the time I was 9-years-old. My dad, his brother, and a friend built that house. I remember every step of it's creation. It is more than lumber and nails to me. In a sense, that house is family to me. I have no idea what I would have done to get the squatters out of that house. And I have no doubt that our neighbors, family, and friends would have helped us run those squatters off. I'm just grateful that I never had to deal with what so many others are having to deal with. My heart goes out to them. Hopefully squatter's rights will be a thing of the past.
Years ago I helped an old high school friend with his living situation. I was currently living in a church basement apartment. He was not a very good tenant, he was only allowed one month to get things together. The only way to get him out legally was to have the church kick me out too, though they were pretending to. Always make sure you have some kind of agreement in writing before you let someone live with you, even your own family.
To my understanding the law says a squatter has to be able to prove that they have improved a vacant property. When it comes to these people that are running crack houses and stuff like that I just can't imagine that that's freaking happening

Basically, if the home is empty, install a security system with cameras that notify you and the police immediately when someone breaks in and make sure the alarm system is loud as hell too. Also make sure that you tell the monitoring company to inform the police that no one is supposed to be there at all. Security systems are needed more than ever now.
Well, it was supposed to be for people who live in the backwoods for years on seemingly empty land, and have set up a homestead. Unfortunately, losers figured out the loopholes.

They need really need to change these laws, I can’t believe it’s even a thing!!
For those who wonder why it’s so hard to find rentals, it’s because landlords are on their own when it comes people taking over their homes. You encourages thefts, there will be no shops. You encourage squatting then there will be no properties for rent. I own property in a vacation town in which people are dying to rent during winter off season but nobody want to because home owners rather rent weekly during summer than taking a chance someone won’t leave once moved in during the winter.
The fact that squatters can just take over your home, with no law enforcement help, is beyond logical comprehension. Our country is insane.

I'll bet these laws wouldn't apply if the squatters moved in and took over politician's houses.
Most of them have either armed security or a direct line to the police hierarchy so this situation is a non starter for those creeps.
There was a case about something like this, I don't remember exactly what it was, but it had something to do with burglary. Some dude robbed a politicians house and then that politician adjusted the law to prevent this. There was a video, but I don't remember, I'm not sure it was a burglary. But basically it was a politician that only changed the law when he was personally affected.

Squatters have already moved in to those homes, they are called republicans, and the home is The White House.
Wait... Squatters have rights? That's the problem right there. They should be treated as home invaders.
Breaking and entering
Yes criminals have rights. We tax payers don't
I swear they made this type of law to “help the homeless.” Without actually helping the homeless issue in America. It’s ridiculous.
Just like illegal aliens.........too many rights
everything illegal 20 years ago is the norm now this country is in its late stages
The fact that these thieves have "rights" is just absolutely insane.
Yes, the blatancy is absolutely ridiculous. Sad that home owners have to go to such ends to reclaim their homes.
I would have used a cattle prod.
What’s even crazier is imminent domain stuff. Basically if the actual home owner is away from house for however long (usually years) a person can legally occupy a property and claim it as theirs and if the homeowner or bank doesn’t dispute it the property legally becomes theirs. That’s the ultimate goal of most squatters. But it rarely happens. But for the legal methods of sheriff removal of squatters usually takes 3-6 months (if not longer).
Tenants do and that is where the problem lies. Well, not the fact tenants have rights, but the fact that as some point the police do not know the difference between a legitimate tenant or a squatter/trespasser. That is why you need to get an eviction trough a court first as at the point it is up to a judge to validate you claim they are there illegally.
That all in my opinion makes sense and is fine. However it should be punishable (in my country it luckily is now, but only since 2010) and the process should be done quickly as to reduce financial and emotional cost to the home owner.
far as i'm aware squatters law was removed here in missouri, this has left an odd situation where there's decaying abandoned structures everywhere though.
It still boggles my mind that someone can illegally enter someone’s property, claim they live there, and the legal owner can’t do anything about it.

@@jonathanxavier2026 Slight corrections on your statement.
1) The Clovis were the discoverers of NA, they were the original "native" Americans. Until the tribes that we call "native Americans" settled on the lands and completely wiped them out.
2) There weren't 100 million "native" Americans when the colonists settled, not even close.
3) The "native" Americans lost the war. Ask Poland what happens when you lose a war.
As I said, the "native" Americans were just better at genocide. They wiped out an entire species of humans. The Europeans at least let them live...Until the "native" Americans gave them tobacco and have steadily killed more people than the settlers did.
@tadaskay79 While I appreciate the corrections, they might be entirely a work of fiction. You're right that contemporary anthropology accepts the Clovis people as the discoverers of NA. That's about as far as the truth goes before you venture into fantasy. There is no record of subsequent migrations wiping out the Clovis.
It appears as if you're very confused as to who the Clovis were. They are a Paeloindian group who migrated across the bearing straight who used ivory and stone to fashion weapons of a particular style known as the Clovis. They are the ancestors of Native Americans, a group you claim isn't native. There were subsequent migrations from the same region, but by and large, the Clovis are the ancestors to 80% of Native Americans. Here's a source for the fact that most native Americans are decendants of the Clovis people.
Raff, J. A.; Bolnick, D. A. "Palaeogenomics: Genetic roots of the first Americans." Nature.
You're absolutely right that there weren't 100 million natives in North America at any given moment. However, the genocide of the Native Americans wasn't a singular event but rather a continuous, sustained, and methodical effort to erase them. This is so well understood that there's little contention among scholars. The precise number, however, seems to be up for debate. Nevertheless, the most accurate estimates place the number of natives subject to a genocide at 100 million. The source for this number is cited here. Denevan, William M., ed. (1992). The Native population of the Americas in 1492.
Lost a war? I find war a politically correct term designed to mask the true nature of evil that is committed. You call it a war to attempt to justify the theft of land, genocide and ethnic cleansing.
You are hopelessly clueless about this subject, contradict established scholars on the designation of the Native Americans as the natives of the Americas, and invented some fantasy about the "tribes we now call the natives wiping out the clovis".
I suppose this is the sort of intellectual rigour you can expect from a steven crowder or Sargon fan.
Private property rights should trump any and all squatters "rights"! There should be no such thing as squatters "rights"!
thank a democrat for this.
For God’s sake. Do Republicans not know anything about the history of the country they claim to love.
Squatters rights originated in England where land was only taxed if it was being used. Landowners allowed big tracts of their property to lay fallow to reduce their taxes. People would occasionally move onto this land & build a house & plant a garden & crops. Since the land was now being used it was taxed which meant more money in the King’s coffers so the practice was allowed & squatters given rights by the Crown. If the squatters stayed on the land for 20 years it became theirs.
America adopted these squatters rights laws with the Homestead Act of 1862 which allowed settlers to take over unclaimed land at the start of Westward Expansion.
Squatters rights have nothing to do with Democrats. The origins started long before Europeans “discovered” America & in 1860 The Homestead Act (which was basically the same as the laws in England) was on the REPUBLICAN platform. When it passed in 1862 REPUBLICANS controlled Congress & it was signed into law by President Lincoln.
@@learobinson4450,
Homesteading is not squatters rights.
The Declaration of Independence was a rejection of English law.
You are good at gaslighting but that is all.
freedomforever6718. Stating facts is not gaslighting. Facts are that which remain the same despite how one feels about them. In other words facts are facts whether you like it or not.
Fact: the Declaration of Independence rejected English RULE. It said America was an independent country, not an English colony & set the groundwork for forming a new government of elected officials. It did not void all the laws in place in America at the time.
And the Homestead Act was passed in 1862, nearly 100 years after the American Revolution. It was based on the laws in England & other parts of Europe & was originally meant for homesteaders & settlers but it has remained the law & today squatters are exploiting it to move into empty houses. That happens all the time. Laws passed for one purpose are used for another.
I feel sorry for all who are so ignorant & closed minded that they feel threatened by truth & facts. You have my pity.
@@learobinson4450 ,
More gaslighting.
Homesteading is the government allowing citizens to claim land owned by the government. Squatters are trespassing on private property already owned by private citizens. These are two completely different things no matter how hard you try to make them the same.

They will kick you out for failing to pay the mortgage or property taxes but they won't evict the people that are causing you to not be able to pay those same things
Are you stupid. The bank doesnt actually kick you out and if they do you can move back in just like they did.
It takes months though. A family up the street overpaid for their house during the housing boom in the late 2000s. They quit paying their mortgage and it was almost a year before they had to move out.

@@SirJinxus-ew9kk ALL of them.
Actually it's better this way, you only hear about the cases where the law is abused, not where it works as intended. These laws are basically in place to prevent corporations from buying up tons of homes, and then not allowing anyone to live in them unless they pay exorbitant rental fees. Squatter rights actually work to help keep property costs from skyrocketing. Current state of things if landlords set the rent/sale price too high, most likely that property is unrented/unsold and becomes a tax expense and fiscal liability, until they lower the price. With squatter rights in place, someone could hypothetically be like "$3000/month for a 1 bedroom house? Pft, no, how about $0. I'm moving in." And they can't do jack about it, really. So now not only are they not renting/selling the property, it's accruing MORE wear and tear than if it were simply sitting vacant.
Of course you get situations like this where people just move into a random privately owned house, and yeah of course it gets national attention. But these are extremely rare, compared to the literal tens of millions of homes protected by the laws.

Years ago here, a guy couldn’t get rid of renters who were not paying or moving. He showed up with a truck and tools, said “I’m working on the house,” tore the bathroom off, then left. They moved. THEN he built his renovated bathroom.
It was probably cheaper to remodel the bathroom then to go through the process of getting them out.

@nyikasplace9886 Nope but morons will pat each other on the back anyways…
The fact that Owners and renters don’t have the rights that squatters do is insane
The fact is, they do. Removing a squatter is no different than evicting a tenant from a rental property. There is a legal process you must go through. The reason you cannot simply call the police is because they cannot sort out the situation right then and there is adverse claims are made by both parties.
In typical squatter scenarios, the property is owned by Person A, and occupied by Person B (the squatter). Person A, while they own the property, generally does not live there (nor does anyone else other than the squatter(s)).
So, the police are called, and the property owner (who likely doesn't have the deed on them) tells them this person is trespassing. The squatter likely denies this, but also doesn't likely have a lease (fake or otherwise) to prove it.
So, neither party has proof of anything ... therefore the police cannot act. This does protect the squatter, in a sense ... but it also protects legitimate tenants from caustic land lords.
So, the court proceeding starts.
The best thing to do, as a property owner, to prevent squatters, is to not leave your property unoccupied for very long. Keep the entrances VERY secure, and check on it frequently.
If you catch a window of opportunity like this guy did, you can force them out while they are gone. Since they aren't legal tenants, they have no legal recourse against you. However, any physical contact with them can (and likely will) result in assault charges against you. However, in some states you may not remove their stuff from the premises, change the locks, or shut off utilities. So, check your local laws first.
I believe, while the video shows items out on the lawn, the individual here simply locked the house up (with existing locks) and told them they had a day to get their stuff out or lose it. He did not move the items out of the home himself.
Squatters rights should not exist. Period.

Their is this situation where someone owns the home and it's a balls. Also, others where no one owns the home and it's just empty and has no occupier. Can't blame a dude for chancing their arm if they have no place to go, especially in modern times when you can't get planning permission or come close to affording a house. It certainly is more complex than just one-side wins but i defiantly would side on the owners if they were owners of the property for a number of years only. Last thing you want is banks repossessing homes and kicking people out immediately unless that's a different situation. Regardless you have to be careful with law because one open door equals multiple sanctuary cities and your paying 500 dollars a night to house an immigrant in a five star hotel.

Many of these sort of laws are extended interpretations of very old laws that had very different intent in a very different time (lower land values and property taxes).
Or they were laws passed in the era when socialism was on the rise and still considered a legitimate theory (very early 1900s).
In the frst case actual "squatters rights" don't actually exist it is just a loophole in the legal system; The furniture is prima facia evidence that they are living there and not just tresspassing, therefore it becomes a civil land dispute to be settled by a civil court. The "squatters rights" come from the fact that the civil case takes a long time and they can continue living in the house during that time.
actually they are from feudalist laws. In feudalism state owns everything(like socialism and communism). So this is a way for the state to bully home owners.@@TheDuckofDoom.
That woman in New York who recently lost her apartment/house to squatters should give this guy a call.
My maternal grandfather, back in the 40s, had squatters in a small log cabin on his property.
He tried everything available to him at the time, but, like this man couldn't even get help from law enforcement.
So, one day, he waited for all of them to leave for the day and burned it down.
It's amazing, after all this time, that it's still a problem.
That's pretty weird considering the pro-squatter laws we're talking about we're written in 2008.
@@notchomomma239 Believe it or not, people have been squatting longer than the laws allowed it. Or in other words, the act of squatting was not invented in 2008 like you seem to think it was.
thats what i would have done. might not have waited for them to leave.
@@VintageDynamohe meant that it was weird that law enforcement didn’t force the squatters to leave because there weren’t laws protecting squatters back then.

How is squatting in someone's home any different than stealing a car? If someone steals a car the police don't hesitate to pull the thief out and arrest them. The same should be with a home.
If a car was abandonded and leff somewhere you can tow it off to the junk yard no problem. You analogy is stupid.

I just cannot understand how squatters have a single right under the law. It’s insane!
Idk how it works where the guy in the video lives, but normally squatters only get rights after they've lived in a place for years. The idea being if someone has been maintaining a property for years and no one has noticed or cared enough to tell them to leave, they can claim residence.
@@ZerpDerp they still know they stole it…
@@ZerpDerp Still doesn't make sense.
You can understand if you choose to educate yourself. That's not an insult but a reality that the situation we are in now has it's roots in laws that were established very early on in US history. It's actually a pretty interesting topic with some degree of nuance. Of course, blaming a political party in its current iteration for every inconvenience and headache under the sun is easier for most people in the comments lol
@@Poignant_Ritualwhat political party was blamed?
Good for him! Taking legal action AND changing outrageous laws, what a great man!
Someone tried squatting in my house in the UK . I waited or him to leave , changed the locks , and waited for him to return . As he approached the door I answered with my crossbow in my hand , told him he could find his belongings on the river bank , and if I even see him in the village again after 1 hour passes he will be in that river . Job done , never heard of the little shite again.
I love how so many of our laws are in the books to protect the criminal. The police should have a right to go in there and drag those thieves out by their hair, kicking and screaming all the way to the streets. Or the homeowner should have a right to go in and take them out, anyway fit to get them off of their property. Squatters are the scourge of this earth, and if they don’t revamp these laws these major cities that are bursting with homeless people are going to have a serious situation on their hands when they start taking over entire apartment buildings.
We don't need new laws. We need to correctly enforce the ones we have. Squatters rights include RESPONSIBILITY for upkeep and even improvements to the property. Enforce the law correctly and this goes away.
@@tracieroberts6323
I would argue they should have no rights to begin with…..

Kudos to this man, I am trying to change the laws, that is how you attack the root cause.
So YOU have to pay rent and property taxes....yet squatters have all rights to your house? 🤦♀️ someone needs to sue the US government for allowing this to happen.
Do you realize these are state laws, not federal?
Same laws in UK. Total nonsense.
The biggest mistake by the homeowners is to report them to the police or go to court. That is admitting that you acknowledge that they're squatters. If you find anyone living in your home, get friends and family to physically remove them. Then they can go report to the police or go to court
Interesting. The law is pretty outdated.
What if you report them as criminals who broke into your house without using the term squatters...would the authorities remove them then?
Then the police come over and say they can come back in, right? What good would that do to remove them?
@stephanies3862 if they go inside while the house is empty of people then when you get there and go in your then breaking in on them.
@@LGAussieYes, but they would have to move back in with my family and friends also living there. The squatters won’t do that.

Here in NV, we passed laws preventing squatting. Squatting no longer exists under NV law. the only way a squatter can make any claims is by Adverse Possession, which requires they live on the property for 5 consecutive years, pay all property tax during those years and are never asked to vacate.
We need to force congress to pass federal laws that eliminate all the things that protect squatters
Or find congress' investment homes and move in with squatter's rights. They'll change soon enough
@@Weirtoe This. This is the only way they will ever change the laws.

This isn't a federal issue, it's a state or local law enforcement issue. Florida just put a stop to it, and other states will follow.
Same thing happened to my buddy. Squatters took over his grandma’s house after she died. He showed up with a couple huge friends. Politely explained that he would beat them to a pulp if they weren’t gone by morning. And they were gone the next day.
Right on 😅
I don't understand how that wouldn't be the first response for anybody in that situation. As soon as I see somebody in my grandmother's house I wouldn't be able to control my anger nor actions.

@@spudpud-T67pro gamer move
It is, it just has to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to prove that they aren't legitimate tenants. The law isn't actually broken, it's the court systems that fail in this case.
How this squautting is legal is way beyond me !!!! They are criminals and nothing more !!!!
Well done ! Shame that the law doesn’t protect the family owners. Good luck.
Why do we give any criminals any rights? WTF? The justice system in this country is an absolute joke!
I mean, even without those rights, its implied I can still do it. What's stopping me from forging a contract where YOU gave your house to ME? Last I checked, cops aren't specifically versed in contract law, or even taught the techniques and technologies used to detect fraudulent signatures. So long as you have a written document handing the house over to yourself and some scribble lines for the signature, the cops can't do anything. It's purely a civil case at that point.
You need to stop letting your emotions cloud your mind. World history is full of people who don’t want to give rights to people because they’re whipped up in a frenzy. And then when you’re in trouble you don’t have those rights anymore. Adjusting the law to be properly calibrated is one thing, But stripping people of the rights is another and will have huge consequences.
And I don’t really agree that criminals have too many rides. Just because certain laws are not enforced in proper punishments are not handed out does it mean people have too many rides. As humans we can use our minds or we can just be emotional and lash out. That’s what got us in the situation in the first place. When the policing system and Justin system were often too harsh, instead of correcting it the pendulum swung way to the other direction. And now it’s saying people such as yourself want to throw it back even further in the other direction. I’m always perplexed at how history repeats itself in one form or another.
Said the person with zero understanding of your own criminal justice system OR the housing market collapse of 2008.
We need to have laws preventing squatters . We should not do anything to unable squatters . Severe penalties should imposed

I had to sue a squatter out of the home that moved their stuff in the middle of the night and when I found out their names, they had done the same thing eight times in a row. In fact the same attorney I used to assist with the case was coincidently hired by the last victim. I would drive by the house and the kids would laugh at me from the front lawn. Even a 7 year old knows we are powerless and have no rights.

In the UK in Tottenham, a young family with a toddler went on a family Christmas vacation. When the returned, a family of Romany Gypsies from central Europe squatted in their house. The police refused to help and adviced the homeowners to get a lawyer. It normally took about a year to evict squatters and thousands of $£$£ in lawyer and court fees. Even worse, the squatters took all the personal possessions of the home owners like family photo albums, collections, clothing, baby clothes, certificates, diplomas, medical papers, etc, and threw them out of the windows into the rear garden to rot. They broke the family and no one helped.
The fact the squatters is a thing is absolutely mind-blowing. “You couldn’t get them out if they hadn’t left, could you?” Our fore-fathers are rolling over in their graves.

Squatter's rights might have had it's place at one time, but that time is no more. Laws need to be changed. After my mother died, her home was empty for several years. First, we needed time to grieve before going through her home and dividing things up, selling some things, trashing some things, etc. Second, the house needed to be renovated before my niece and her children could move in. Thankfully, we live in a very small county, and my sister and I live within walking distance of our mother's home. In Autumn/Winter, when the trees are bare, I can see my mother's place from my front porch.
I would have been livid if squatters had moved in and took over the place. I grew up in that house from the time I was 9-years-old. My dad, his brother, and a friend built that house. I remember every step of it's creation. It is more than lumber and nails to me. In a sense, that house is family to me. I have no idea what I would have done to get the squatters out of that house. And I have no doubt that our neighbors, family, and friends would have helped us run those squatters off. I'm just grateful that I never had to deal with what so many others are having to deal with. My heart goes out to them. Hopefully squatter's rights will be a thing of the past.

Years ago I helped an old high school friend with his living situation. I was currently living in a church basement apartment. He was not a very good tenant, he was only allowed one month to get things together. The only way to get him out legally was to have the church kick me out too, though they were pretending to. Always make sure you have some kind of agreement in writing before you let someone live with you, even your own family.
Great job Flash. I just never understood how squatters should have any rights!
To my understanding the law says a squatter has to be able to prove that they have improved a vacant property. When it comes to these people that are running crack houses and stuff like that I just can't imagine that that's freaking happening

Basically, if the home is empty, install a security system with cameras that notify you and the police immediately when someone breaks in and make sure the alarm system is loud as hell too. Also make sure that you tell the monitoring company to inform the police that no one is supposed to be there at all.
Security systems are needed more than ever now.

Think of bigger picture. First law then handle it
For those who wonder why it’s so hard to find rentals, it’s because landlords are on their own when it comes people taking over their homes. You encourages thefts, there will be no shops. You encourage squatting then there will be no properties for rent. I own property in a vacation town in which people are dying to rent during winter off season but nobody want to because home owners rather rent weekly during summer than taking a chance someone won’t leave once moved in during the winter.
