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.
I had an interesting conversation with a municiple police officer in Brevard county yesterday. She said that one of her close friends, a deputy for Brevard county, is on the verge of quitting because he feels like a uniformed locksmith. She said the only reason he hasn’t quit yet is because of the one big benefit of his duties… that is, when he and his fellow deputies enforce the e toying of homes, they’re allowed to keep whatever is “left behind” after the property has been “abandoned”. I couldn’t believe this conflict of interest! Imagine the sworn law enforcement officer, helping himself to your big screen TV while your on vacation.
This was the first time I’d heard of anything like this. If true, I think it might help explain the one-sided position LEO has been taken so far. And it would certainly warrant further investigating.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL PRESS…IT IS YOUR DUTY!
eric, would you mind talking to a reporter about your conversation, I want them to follow up…don’t need to disclose your contact
SHOULD AMERICANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SECURE IN THEIR HOME ?
All I can say about Thugs for the Banks breaking into your home and changing locks, removing property etc is one thing and I hope they understand for their sake is, ” MAKE MY DAY” …..
