In America, homeowners have a right to their property. However, only in America can local governments de facto seize your property and give it to trespassers solely because of reasons that will never be constitutional.

A homeowner in Georgia has been jailed after having the audacity to try and remove a trespasser in the home she owns and bought with her own money.

According to The Post Millennial:

Police arrested a Georgia woman and charged her with criminal trespass after she tried to move back into her own home where an alleged squatter had taken up residence. Loletha Hale told WSB-TV Atlanta, “I spent the night on a mat on a concrete floor in deplorable conditions. While this woman, this squatter slept in my home.” The alleged squatter has not been charged with any criminal act.

Back in my day, this used to be called criminal trespassing. However, the tables have turned, and now the homeowner is the only one considered a criminal in this case. And even worse, this is usually considered a “civil matter” by police.

Clayton County police came to Hale’s house on Dec. 9 when the owner attempted to enter. A deputy sheriff suggested Hale look at the situation from the vantage point of the alleged squatter. “Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen,” the deputy said.

The battle over occupation rights began in August when Hale first confronted the alleged squatter, Sakemeyia Johnson, and called police to have her removed. It should have been an easy matter to adjudicate because of Georgia’s Squatter Reform Act, which was written to protect the rights of homeowners in the state.

But Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Latrevia Lates-Johnson decided that Johnson couldn’t be called a squatter because she was related to the partner of a tenant who had been evicted from Hale’s house.

So it turns out that laws and constitutional rights don’t matter if a judge decides to make arbitrary exceptions. You really cannot make this level of stupidity up.

Since when did officers and judges have the right to essentially seize property and give it to people who should not be there? The homeowner made it clear, she wants them out. But none of that matters, as the officer has already said they are concerned with the feelings of the trespasser.

Why are progressive priorities always reliant on the most deranged, indescribable feelings that people randomly make up?

Squatting should not be a thing, especially in America. And the fact that local officials get away with this blatantly, unconditional form of eminent domain is beyond reason.
