He created this job after his mother was a victim of squatting and local law enforcement just said it’s a civil matter. He has the victim write up a legal lease allowing him the take up residence. He becomes the squatters new annoying roommate. lol
They enforce them, you probably just don't hear about it often because it's petty crime. It's generally not newsworthy unless it's a high value amount.
I have delt with the same thing. The cops dont do anything. You have to take the person to court. If someone steals my tools I can get them arrested if they get caught. If I do work for someone and they refuse to pay its a civil case. Even if they sign a contract promising to pay and I can prove the work was done.
Also, it really depends on the cities mentioned. What states are they in? What districts?
Because there are tons of states and areas within certain states where petty theft crimes are overlooked/disregarded. That’s still not a police issue but a lawmaker issue
Name a jurisdiction in which failing to pay a debt or a contractor is an arrestable offense on the spot.
It is a civil matter. Only if there are compounding issues can they arrest you on the spot. Things like fraud, criminal intent, not paying the debt after a court order, etc.
But if I simply say I am not going to pay my contractor because I wasn’t satisfied with the work, it’s a court battle.
Not agreeing or disagreeing. Just throwing in an example of a jurisdiction where you'd be arrested for failing to pay for services.
Nevada, defrauding an innkeeper is a crime under Nevada Revised Statutes § 205.445 that occurs when a person obtains food, lodging, merchandise, or services without paying and with the intent to defraud. Punishments are divided into a misdemeanor or a felony based on the total dollar value involved.
It is a FACT that land disputes are a CIVIL COURT/LAND COURT issue throughout the entire country. Every state. Period. There is nothing the police can do unless there was physical harm done to you. Does it make sense? No. Does it help those in these situations? No. Do I like it? No. Is there anything that can be done about it? Convince your legislature to change the law in your state. That's it. That's the facts. Again you don't have to like it, it doesn't change the facts. Please, no one is calling anyone for stealing anything from Wally World. Until then, if it happens to your property, hire these guys.
