It was legal strong armed robbery. King George quartered solders in empty buildings. The solders decided which buildings were empty. A number of empty buildings had people living in them. However, the colonial assemblies had control of the budgets. The local governors and sheriffs could control King George's thugs. In 1773 King George started paying the bureaucrats directly from England. That ended the possibility of any reason for the Governors to listen to the assemblies.
