I would also assume that legally you could recoup that fee from the trespasser. Of course, practically, you'll never get it from them.

Undisciplined

It’s like a high deductible insurance policy. 

To deter false complaints 

My 2 cents 

You’re right it’s criminal trespassing 

The statute seems like an acceleration of the eviction process. Bypass judge and go straight to sheriff

Squatters Rights?

This makes more sense. Obviously this will take some time for them to verify everything. 

>Owner must pay sheriff civil eviction fee plus any additional for keeping the peace

Thats a curious bit, I understand that generally in normal evictions there may be a fee since its a civil procedure (ie contract dispute). 

However, this is criminal trespassing. There is no "violation of contract terms" its no different than theft. Do robbery victims need to pay a fee to get the sheriff to arrest the aggressor?
