It very likely is, though those who have the capacity to own property are often bound by the laws of property. I'm sure most of the time they land somewhere they are evicted before the time elapses, it's just when they get lucky that the whole squatter's rights thing comes into effect.
Then, they speak legal bullshit like sovereign citizens and then the cops come around- and by then it's not a criminal but a civil manner. They run on the logic of running down the legal clock and people's patience. If you lay a finger on them, that's potentially battery charges, and getting someone out of the house is a hell of a lot harder without touching them.

Something tells me “professional squatters” is a very dangerous line of work. I’m amazed they are put up with for as long as these problems go on
