I think you hit on the real problem. Why does the law in that state allow for an eviction before the judge hears the case?
And why is there not a safety net that would ensure the best interests of both the rentor and the rentee? It would cost a lot less for sure. And everyone involved would be happier.

That said, these vops showed far better restraint than we usually see. Many would have just shot her immediately. Small step forward, but still a step foreward.
