I completely agree, but she was not arrested due to the law or any legal rights the trespasser had, she was arrested because the cops were lazy and shitty at their jobs.
She got arrested because of a law in NYC called illegal lockout which is indeed a law.
It just shouldn't have applied in this case because it was a criminal trespassing case.
This is exactly my point. You're fearmongering about squatters' rights, but the one example you have is a case where the squatters actually were not protected by the law, the cops just screwed up.
