Fla. Sheriff Grady Judd on Squatters: ‘When They Go onto Your Property Without Permission, That’s Trespassing, Burglary, Theft’

EXCERPT:

GRADY: "The feds need to take care of the federal issues. They’re not doing too good with what they need to be dealing with. So you stay in Washington and you deal with international issues that are really important to us as a nation and let us take care of the local stuff. That’s interesting to me. It is inconceivable to me that any community would allow a squatter to take over someone’s homes and tell them they had to go through a civil process. Well, when they go onto your property without permission, that’s trespassing, burglary, theft, and all you have to do is man up or woman up as a police administrator and say, 'Go arrest them and put them in jail once you validate the fact that there's no contractual lease agreements or legal agreement to sell. We've done that all along, Stuart."
