Forget all the other questions and controversy surrounding fraudclosuregate. Forget the forged or fraudulent or sloppy assignments. Forget standing and trusts and pooling and servicing agreements. Forget possession of the original note. Forget the “technical” areas of the law and court process. Let me ask you one question:
SHOULD AMERICANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN THEIR HOME FROM UNREASONABLE
SEARCHES AND SEIZURES?
Now just a few short months ago, I thought the answer to that question was, “Duh, Yes Of Course Americans Have The Right To Be Safe In Their Homes From Unreasonable Searches and Seizures”. If I was feeling really academic I might belt out a little Constitutional Law and sing out…..
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and ht no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
(THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION)
But I would be WRONG AGAIN WEIDNER! You see, Americans do not have the right to be safe and secure in their homes…AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS AND EFFECTS….because at any moment, the banks can come and kick down your door. If they like, they can change your locks. And if you’ve got papers and valuables lying around, they may just help themselves to them.
And don’t think you can convince law enforcement to protect you….law enforcement will leave you alone. Helpless. Defenseless. While the Jack Booted Thugs Come Back Again and Again and Again. Which is exactly what my client William Coyle claims happened to him:
Bill Coyle is on the verge of losing his home of 17 years to foreclosure, and that’s not the worst part.
The Lutz man claims between $200-300 hundred thousand dollars worth of automotive parts, tools, and equipment stored in his garage from his defunct Corvair restoration business have been removed from the now-vacant Vandervort Road home by an unidentified company working for his lender.
The catch is while Coyle’s house in foreclosure, the court has not yet ruled on his lender’s (GMAC) request to take possession of the home. ” I screamed bloody blue murder but it didn’t do any good,” Coyle tells the I-Team.
