FL Attorney General: Clerks of Court Should Not Allow Public Records To Be Instruments of Deception

court-public-records“the clerk, in carrying out this duty and in order to protect the integrity of the public records and to avoid participating in the use of the public records as an instrument of deception…”

(From a Florida Attorney General Opinion)

 and then

“Scrutiny of the validity of an assignment of mortgage may be inappropriate under any circumstances”

(Florida Mortgage Bankers)

I recently had my rear end handed to me, a trial lost because the court refused to consider an obviously flawed assignment of mortgage.   The court bought, hook line and sinker, the argument made by the bank lawyer,

“We’ve got the note, ignore everything else.”

Like so many Americans, I’m disgusted by the state of our court system right now.   The fact that such absurd arguments are being made, much less the fact that they are succeeding is enough to make me want to start flying American flags upside down.   Seriously, our courts should just ignore key facts?

The courts are speaking, and this is apparently the message.
