“They were ready to leave,” Don Bain said. Then, he said, one officer told the woman, “ ‘You’re a squatter. You’ve got rights.’ ”

Bain said the officer repeated that two more times. “He said, ‘You can live here the rest of your life until the court throws you out. …’ ”

“He didn’t need to say that.”

When Pierce produced a piece of mail addressed to her at the shop, it established her residency, and meant it would take a court order to have her removed, police said.

Lt. Stephen Jones, of the Spokane Valley Police Department, said he sympathizes with the Bains and others who find themselves in messy civil disputes over residency. However, he said, the law protects people from being thrown out on the street suddenly and without good reason – and so people who have established a basic level of residency can’t be evicted without a judge’s say-so.

This is so retarded. Who here thinks that these good-for-nothings deserve to live here? Or that squatting gives you rights?

You'd be amazed how quickly homeless people would join the workforce if bread lines and foodstamps dissapeared.

And seriously, that cop ought to be fired for incompetence.

Liberal states have liberal ass policies.

They have no claim to that back yard, and unless the state requires an ejectment action against the squatters, the cop had the duty to execute the requested action.
