One of the most terrifying things occurring in this country right now is the fact that banks are being permitted to determine whether or not they have the right to break into properties, and after they have done so, they are determining what they wish to do with property found therein.
If they find valuables are they permitted to take them? Are banks permitted to enter property at any time and without any prior warning or notice? Are the banks permitted to change locks or otherwise trash the property?
How about in cases where no foreclosure has even been filed? What do you think about that America? How about all you Americans that are 45 days late on your mortgage, are you good with allowing the banks to come in, break down your door and do what they wish, with no order of court?
Read the Sheriff’s Report Carefully…..Time to wake up and think America.
The Hernando County Sherriffs Office decides on it’s own that it can overturn black letter established property law in Florida and PRESTO! “Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers” is now the law in Hernando County?!
Nobody needs a bothersome thing like a COURT ORDER anymore.
No writ of possession.
Nothing!
All you need to protect yourself from the crime of burgulary in Hernando County is a simple “work order” scrawled out on a piece of notebook paper and you too can loot homes with impunity.
Clearly the LAW isn’t the Sheriff’s forte’, so allow me to clear up a few “minor” points for you Al.
Being late on your mortgage is NOT a crime!
Being late on your mortgage does NOT waive your property rights!
Being late on your mortgage does NOT make trespass legal.
Being late on your mortgage does NOT make breaking & entering legal!
Being late on your mortgage does NOT make BURGLARY legal.
I should add that it strikes me as very telling that one NEVER seems to hear that a sheriff’s deputy or any other law enforcement official accompanys these so-called “bank contractors” to verify that an unforclosed residence is allegedly “abandoned”.
Not only do we have local law enforcement willfully turning a blind eye to these crimes, but we also see that law enforcement seems to be quite capable of keeping themselves from being involved in the comission of the crimes as well.
