Charlotte Company Still Towed Hundreds Despite Judge’s Injunction

[@franksnowboarder]

Is should be charged as auto theft and extortion.

[@allsouls5997]

It always is but that is why they always want ID meaning to them that they tricked you into their corrupt system and agree that it is ok that they rob you legally Yet that is still unlawful.

[@davidschank956]

His business license should be revoked immediately Upon those felony charges

[@johnengland8619]

He might just be an addict

[@flydieselair]

@@johnengland8619 Who cares and what does it matter.

[@clintmatthews3500]

All these illegal tows reported to the police and they do nothing. The guy is a straight up car thief at this point. Put him behind bars.

[@wymple09]

Now you know why sometimes you hear about vigilante justice.

[@landonmiller5882]

Shame on that judge for not protecting the public from this man who is breaking the court order. The one person testifying is enough.

[@patmcbride9853]

Can't tow from a jail cell. So, how many of the victims were actually illegally parked?

[@niveknospmoht8743]

Simple actually, revoke his towing and business license and impound his trucks. This guy is a predator and a thief

[@edcapp7654]

Take his CDL

[@jacknoe4024]

His victims should joint file a civil suit against him for the amount of money he collected from all tows made in breach of his court order. I don't see how they could lose, unless the judge is a friend of his.

[@Navyvet787]

This guy is a problem. he needs to be in jail. and prison.

[@tominmtnvw]

Arrest and jail him. Confiscate his tow truck permanently.

[@1Yogaboy]

The judge got the envelope from the defense attorney

[@FloridaFrank2010]

Judge seems to be continuously protecting this scheme - how much of a kickback are they paying the judge to keep this going?

[@karlrovey]

I think the problem is that only one witness showed up. That made it impossible to establish a pattern of willful violation of a court order. If even 10% of his victims (who were victimized after the court order was issued) were to show up, it would have been far more difficult for the judge to not hold him in contempt.

[@up0820]

If he was really preying on people, why didn't they pull his license to tow, period. Especially when he was doing this on private property.

[@JamesAllmond]

BTW, he is still out there doing this....

[@UPREDSNAKE]

Follow the money I guarantee they’ll be some payoff to the politicians for this.

[@loligagger85]

he was allowed to tow, the court just ruled to charge half and to have permission from the PROPERTY owner, not the owner...

[@shooter853]

His NEXT court??? Who thinks this guy cares what the court says? If he isn't in prison and his company shut down, he just won't care.

[@Nuffsaid876]

People complain. The wrong way. Why is this guy the only one to show up to court?

[@JMPants]

So how many charges of grand theft auto will he face?

[@Yoduh1]

Zero. The number is zero.

[@ricknaegele2144]

Judge is in on it.

[@owenllewellyn5692]

Theft is a crime.

[@williamfarman5651]

If he is convicted of a habitual felon, that used to be 15 yrs mandatory. Sounds like a real snake in the grass.

[@camf7522]

This is what happens when you privatise law enforcement.

[@whxxp2x]

Had a friend in Fayetteville that used to tow expensive cars whenever he was slow on business.

[@venturefanatic9262]

The guy runs a Car Theft Extortion Racket.

[@silverfox8915]

Prison is the answer, he's just a thief,

[@seriouscarguys702]

This is Auto, theft and extortion hiding behind the guise of a business license doesn’t change that. A lot of tow companies are absolute criminal. Several have been sent to prison here in Las Vegas and in the Portland area where I grew up.

[@NomadGuardian]

City & County must revoke his Business License and Bond's.

[@Kevin_Kennelly]

Confiscate his tow trucks.

[@MrAWorthy1]

This guy was literally praying on people!

[@bobbyblair2112]

Preying

[@day-leeperez9493]

You heard them they have to report all that to the police the cops and court apparently aren’t doing anything about it.

[@FlyGuy2000]

He was a priest?

[@gayprepperz6862]

Gee, whose he paying off? Funny how justice came immediately to some, and is constantly put off for others. It's who you know, and how much you pay them. He's a predator.

[@roninthedestroyer8958]

What infractions is he towing cars out of Apartment complexs???

[@MarjaMariachi]

Expired tags or inspection stickers, out-of-state license plates. It's disgusting, they're not cops and shouldn't have any right to remove cars.

[@gc1172]

Lock him up.

[@victorgarrido9481]

My semi truck got towed illegal

[@Divedown_25]

If he doesn’t have permission to tow then remove his license. What’s the issue here? Is it so that he is towing cars illegal parked in a towing zone?

[@frankconley6321]

So many people here calling for justice just don't understand how this works. Unless you have enough money you can't buy justice. 8-1 this guy is paying people off.

[@miltonturner2977]

Confiscate ALL tow trucks, Fine the company $1Mil/Car/truck illegally towed to compensate owners, Delete business license, Put Owner in PRISON for 5 Years in a cell with Bubba!

[@gohibniugoh1668]

exactly why the 2a is in our constitution.

[@clambroth1923]

Watching videos like this about angry, defiant scofflaws giving the finger to the public and the legal system is very troubling.

[@PakanaHerruus]

Why would anyone expect to take that judge serious, when the judge doesn't even take his own rulings serious.

[@randyboyd2704]

Usually suspect

[@dawnstarr671]

We have on here in Newaygo County, Michigan. He’s a big ripoff and totally over charges. Ambulance chaser.

[@brokendad2222]

Have never heard of a legally owned and operated tow service.

[@randywarren7101]

What this guy is doing is GRAND THEFT AUTO!

[@nicmart]

Amazing. The towing industry has an otherwise perfect reputation.

[@pamelahomeyer748]

Why have people lost so much respect for our judicial system but then we still have Bill Barr crime for hire

[@CharlesIde-p6d]

With legislators ignoring subpoenas, why should this guy obey an injunction? New corrupt world we live in now.

[@retiredlogman]

Evidently there is no castle doctrine in Charlotte.

[@tuber93422]

What was the conclusion

[@Issarr534]

This is a predator. Hunting freely.

[@johnstreet1812]

Gives honest, hard-working towing operators a a bad name.

[@wendellsuiter7869]

the judge got his 10%

[@JD5DAD]

And he is walking around WHY? put his ass in jail and it will stop GUARANTEE

[@marcc482]

LOL... this is just a criminal... he needs his business license removed, his tow trucks impounded and confiscated and be put in jail !!! Total criminal ...

[@retired4365]

A business gives more money to stay in business and will keep it going. 😂😂😂😂 The scam is played by all, everyone makes money off of this. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@joeuser633]

Nothing at all about the basis of the judge's decision? Lame reporting.

[@jormugand5578]

They reported that the prosecutors were only able to produce a single victim in support of their claim of criminal contempt out of several hundred vehicles that were towed by the company (their open records request lists 706 tows). Rather obvious why the motion failed - insufficient evidence. The burden of proof was on the prosecutors but they were seeming either too lazy to find victims or unable to convince them to testify in court. They had the list of potential witnesses available so why weren't they able to get more victims/witnesses to come to court?

[@JameyMcQueen]

@@jormugand5578 He was told not to tow cars. He continued to tow cars. Even if there were zero witnesses that testified, there's still sufficient evidence that he kept doing it. The evidence in question? The vehicles.

[@jormugand5578]

@@JameyMcQueen Incorrect. The injunction PRACTICALLY prevented him from towing vehicles, it didn't completely prohibit him from towing vehicles. It required he get the property owner's permission (or a representative thereof) to get written permission/authorization BEFORE he towed each vehicle. Whether he actually did follow that restriction is questionable.
