Environmental Court sounds like an HOA for the entire city.

They wanted that property for somebody the town official somebody a counsel member one of them wanted it !!!!

Name the people who participate in these courts. Who are the "judges"? Name them all, and provide contact information. Remember that cockroaches hate the light. Get out the spotlight.

The fact that she owned her own home probably made her more of a target.

At what point in America did "court" not mean a court? Family court, environmental court, marriage court, etc... are all kangaroo courts.

This isn't a problem with one issue. This has been going on since the 1990's. This isn't any one individual or group fault, it's a combination of greed and unregulated power. Thank you IJ, for taking a stand in this flawed system.

Look for the corruption behind these court-allowed seizures! Who profits from the confiscated property?

All these quasi-courts need to be outlawed, which includes the rise of those various Commissions. None of these dodgy quasis actually follow the due process provisions of the Constitution.

I find that incredible as this reminds me of the CCP in China.who ever heard of doing this to someone who owns there property outright especially that poor old lady, there is no way this could happen in Australia,that is outright fraud and is disgusting to say the least of the USA.

Owns home outright, tree falls on it, insurance begins repair, town steals property and arrests homeowner.

If the people exterminate the wrong doers less and less people will do wrong.

When they come after u get locked and loaded and declair war against tyrants and eliminate all threats that enter your yard

Tennessee citizens must DEMAND that dam.n court be dismantled.

This is Satan's minion at work.

You never ever own your own home as long as you pay taxes on it. The government owns it.

"they" obviously wanted her property.

What is the SOURCE of JURISDICTION for this court? How do they get jurisdiction over home repairs?

Imagine being the cops who carried out the orders. Talk about serious POS's!

I attempted to put this on fb and they told me immediately this went against their policies.

I hope both of your clients get huge settlements from the City/County, and well as being forced to correct these terrible breeches of justice.

These towns are trying to outlaw the appearance of poverty by statute, instead of helping people who are actually poor.

I wonder which property developer now owns that lades home now and who in they are in bed with?

Its up to the citizens to enforce laws against Law Enforcement Officers. Also, it is up to the citizens to enforce penalties and punishment onto Law Enforcement Officers. Same for Judges and prosecutors.

Where are these courts located? Sounds like what will happen to the cities that have become members of the UN's Sustainable cities.

Sounds like the nazis in gated communities have expanded the orbit of their iron fist. Like an Inquisition.

I'm going to agree with another commentor...Call out the people working there, the neighbors involved...Post them!!! If Reps. & Gov. & Big Tech can Dox, then the Public can too.

Property ownership in the USA is a joke. A deed in most states gives you a temporary right to limited occupancy contingent on making property tax payments and a hundred other conditions and requirements.

In the case of the gent with the bulldozed house, it should be rebuilt AND all the furnishings and equipment should be replaced. If the property has been sold, it should have to be purchased back from the new owner at the new owners asking price and restored to original condition AND original content. This is the only way to get justice for the victims and the authorities should have to foot the bill for acting unconstitutionally.

The powers that be would rather put us (older folks) in a home or in the streets. That way, if and when we die, they won't have to worry about us!

This is when we need TV series leverage to write the wrongs of government

Memphis Environmental Court is simply a kangaroo court

I've pledged $50 a month, I feel the work you guys do is so important, I simply can not allow myself to hear of such outrageous forms of government abuse and do nothing about it. Of all the organizations I have heard of, you guys in particular are in need of every dollar you can get.

It's time to burn the courts to the ground

In Australia we all get together to help those people in distress to rebuild by collective donating and free work to rebuild the community as you would have seen in our fires after the drought and we definitely are not like you in this matter as we have hearts full of empathy.

I was born and raised in tenn. when I was growing up If someone needed help we were their. Burned home no problem their and empty house over their. A tree fell. We got out our saws. We put our children in the same bed. Gave them the other one. What ever we had that was not needed or was needed that we could do without we gave. That is the life I miss. We had compassion, what do we have now people. We have cop,s that are doing bad. We have judges that are bad. We are raising children that bad. And why is that because we can’t raise them the way we were. I raised my children in the 80,s I remember my children coming home and telling me the school told them to call the cops if I was making do something that they didn’t want to do. And I don’t even want to talk about my grandchildren . These kids are the ones we’re leaving behind to run this world. God help us.

Sounds like some folks in the govt there needs be goin to jail, and/or paying many million$ in tort.

CORRUPT JUDGES NEED TO BE IMPRISONED. INNOCENT VICTIMS ARE BEING DENIED THEIR RIGHTS.

A monetary settlement where the taxpayers foot the bill is not justice . The dirt bags that perpetrated this must do hard time . Otherwise , hire the terminally ill to " balance " the scales . Once you bring it to their front door and lay it on them , only then will things change . We fear them - THEY must fear doing the wrong thing to us .

This should go to the Supreme Court and they should pay for what they've done....

I am so grateful to see some lawyers that are fighting for the rights of the people that are true and honest people themselves may God give them the power to overcome everything distant in their way to victory

I was invited to move to TN from NY, I'll think I'll pass. Cudo's to IFJ for taking the case.

The cruelty and arbitrariness of this system just takes my breath away. It is a system where virtually no one is safe... unless your pockets are so deep you can afford the best legal counsel and/or buy yourself out of trouble.

Pure reason the public must unite and fight just as dirty, because these roaches will never stop acting like tyrants, terrorists and criminals, until the people stand up an force the removal of these people, and force these criminal laws to die, and fully restore constitutional safeguards that no longer allow such acts to gain any foot hold.

"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." R. Reagan

An article on this situation claims that her neighbors sued her in Environmental Court because the repairs weren't going fast enough. Wow! 😵‍💫

Abolish that Court completely it's rogue

This is a perfect example of why even the smallest infringements upon individual rights should be immediately refuted by any reasonable means AND reasonable people BEFORE it becomes a problem, rather than be granted opportunity to grow and expand until it becomes intolerable and near impossible for an individual to refute.

Thank you 🙏 for fighting for our civil liberties

I'd like to see the 21 viewers whop gave this video "thumbs down" explain why they hate due process.

@InstituteForJustice Thank you guys for the work you do.

Having been subscribed for awhile now, I can't really say I 'enjoyed' this podcast as much as I learned and verified some dark things about human nature. First of all, kudos to you who are using the law to fight injustice. Truly good people doing the right thing. What have I verified? I am an American citizen, now having lived in Japan for about 38 years. I resigned in protest from a tenured college teaching position (Jissen Women's College Tokyo) because when it comes down to it ... for those already in a marginalized position of not have equal resources to defend yourself from humans at their instinctual animal worst ... laws and contracts are not worth the paper it is written on. Neither Japanese labor law, a signed contract, or my rights as an American citizen were relevant as the school decided to cut costs by getting rid of the only foreign tenured professor. Institutionally sanctioned racism was part of the dynamics, but only part. There is also a temperamental element ... a lone idealist educator among a pack of opportunistic functionaries, and even Japanese part-time teachers, community volunteers, and students were routinely exploited and discarded. This is not a question of legality or Japanese tradition or human rights. It is the group dynamics of homo sapiens at its lowest common denominator. And if history shows any indication of what it means to be a human being, I tend to agree with the likes of Ernst Mayr or Stephen Hawking ... we are about to exceed our shelf life as a species. It is the ultimate, though understandable, arrogance to presume we will be the first species to fail from too much, and too poorly defined 'success'. The current plandemic is quickly accelerating a pillage mentality the likes of which Naomi Klein explored in 'Disaster Capitalism' ... though I would say these social dynamics are not restricted to any single political or economic ideology. Pol Pot did a pretty thorough job of it in Cambodia. I suspect that what the Environmental Kangaroo Court can't get away with - the eventual lifting of moratoriums on foreclosures and eviction will. It won't be pretty.

That’s not a court. When are we going to clean up the courts. Who overlooks the courts. Who lets this happen.

There needs to be at least two witnesses in a case: Mercy & Truth

Never go to any “court” without a lawyer who represents you.

Serve the court proper notice you know who you are . Do you know who you are ? We have to take as many witnesses as we can to all courts . peaceful yet massive protest for real government is happening . You have to get involved . Learn learn learn and go after them ( real names) lawfully .

The Institute for justice. God bless all of you guys and girls men and women of a high standard fighting for what's right and fighting for justice for all. The core value of the American constitution!! JUSTICE FOR ALL!!! Not just for the rich and powerful. God bless and keep on fighting! How can I help or donate to your organization?

This is soooooo disturbing.

The Enviornmental court has no conistiutioinal basis and must if it is a court folow rules and laws. Oyther wise the city and other governemtns should be made to pay for all expenses and penaltites

Thank you guys so much for bringing these issues to light. We need to be far more careful with the growth of government power. To take a person's home is beyond the pale.

*WE ARE LESS FREE* our "Freedom" in the US is a shadow and a lie. Government officials can *STEAL* your property based off of a *Political opinion.* It's disgusting and we need COMMON MEN to lead this country.

Thievery perpetuated upon senior vulnerables. Such monstrosity‼️😡🗣

Imminent domain is bullshit , they done the same thing to this lady in Dayton Texas. , because they wanted to put a school in that area

I like your videos but when you said dude was thrown in jail for 20 days then switch to the lady . She was smiling. How disgusting to smile when this is horrific

The same no-recourse, no charge process occurs in CPS Family Court. Then they take away your kids without recourse.

No wonder Tennessee property is inexpensive. You are not really buying it.

Get to the point. What was she charged with? All Im hearing is what happened to her, but nothing about why or how

In a republic and the other nations that see themselves as democracies the word "government" MUST be outlawed. Simply to remind those that We, the people elect as OUR representatives do not forget that they serve us and are not ruling us. Governing, to govern us is not their job. A side issue maybe, but not to be underestimated imho!

So exactly how do you go 10 years without repairing your house??? Would be nice to hear the rest of the story.

IJ might have my attention if they would mention the code violations the lady is charged with, and how the lady responded to the court. They did not mention any charges or outcomes. Fail

This is about the tenth time I've made the following comment on videos in the last few days: Is this the USA or the USSR ? This country has gone right down the toilet !

LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE HAHAHAHAHAHA.

How can this hostess on this show continue to smile and laugh while the male commentator describes the BULLDOZING of an old woman's house? Shameful. I understand how awkward this can be for people, but shit, stop laughing. What's with all the makeup, this is Institute for Justice not Spin The Wheel.

It would be nice to have conclusions and detail not just hearsay.

If they did this to a little old white lady only the Lord knows how much minorities suffered in such courts.

Sounds like how CA. Special Districts and how they operate with out consequences

Hell no, blight should be legal. Looking nice should be voluntary and trespassing is no excuse for demanding safety.

Help Save America Don't VOTE for Lawyers.

There doesn’t seem to be a crime that the old lady done sounds more like she has a case against the insurance company and she got railroaded now she should have a case against everyone involved

I really wish you could go through the steps of how you have a tree fall on your house and end up being sent to jail. what was the justification?

Mormons and this is no joke. I live in Utah and under attack from Mormon attorneys and Mormon real estate brokers. Mormon's have put themselves in high places all over the world, making sure there is no justice. Greedy false profits. Mitt Romney is FLDS. HE LET THE MORMONS OFF ON 12 MILLION IN FOOD STAMP FRAUD.

Sounds to me like the legislators need a swift kick to the behind and maybe a couple of swift hands about the head and shoulders!!!

I had a friend Lisa Munos. Who had her $250,000.00 home taken. By the "nuisance abatement team" in Albuquerque new mexico. Under the guise of her making meth there yet there were never any charges of making meth. I do believe her son or daughter were using it at the time. I'm not sure. I know they were not making it. The nuisance abatement team came by one day with about 20 cops all heavily armed and didn't arrest anyone didn't take any evidence yet posted her home as being a nuisance and locked up the property and didn't let any one take anything just boarded up the property. Threw anyone living there out on the street. She didn't have a court hearing that she ever went to yet it was declared a nuisance and bulldozed. WHY YOU ASK. BECAUSE MISS MUNOZ BROTHER HAD A BIG FIGHT WITH SOMEONE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE DAs office. She lost her home over nothing. They stole her home. What I have said I have said.

YAAAH LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE MY ASS

What name is the court attacking? Is it really your name or does it just look like it spelled in all CAPITAL letters? Make sure you know who you are. Who owns that name spelled in all CAPITAL letters? Who really owns the court ? Is the court a for profit business? Again who owns the court? Who really is the judge ? Real name of judge please. No initials in a real name. Do they have proof of oath of office in their lawful name? Get the judges bond information. We the people must take back control of government. We must learn and demand government ( defacto or dejour ) to operate for the interest of the people. Governments only purpose is to protect our life liberty and property. The judge can be sued. Get his real name. Put a lien on his/her property. Why won't attorneys do this for the people? Is it because their first concern is the court? We the people or considered incompetent. Why because we are not trained to play the court game. We hire and attorney to prove to the court we are ignorant ( incompetent ) to handle our own affaires. The court is a foreign jurisdiction to we the people and our property. Do your homework people and go on the allfense against all enemy's foreign and domestic . These attorneys may help but your own personal knowledge and power to claimed your God given rights and hold the scam courts accountable rest on you. Jesus said " You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free" . People wake up. The world is a hostile environment . It will continue to be till Christ return. I thank the heavenly father for the truth . Study the word of God and study court procedure . Get blacks law dictionary and also search the truth on the internet . You will find what your looking for. I pray this information seed falls on good soil. Thank you Lord Jesus .

How has this case been going on for 10yrs when the "court" got the power to attack home owners in 2016? What is the criteria that puts you in this court?

File a Mechanics Lien against your own property and no one can sell it under you without first paying you: forewarning, it takes time adding up receipts and time worked. Also, another route, completely different, is the Land Patent.

What was so funny to cause the interviewer to laugh at 14.17?

HI WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU . RUN LIKE HELL .

Sounds like an HOA I once belong to ..

*Title 18 USC 241 Conspiracy Against Rights & 18 USC 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law... Needs to be amended: Punishment shall be a Mandatory Minimum of 5 years in Prison and 5 Million Dollar Fine (Paid to the Victims) including all reasonable attorney fees. **_Ignorance, misinterpretation, misunderstanding, or mistake of the LAW shall not be an EXCUSE or Defense by any Government, Agency, or representative thereof!_** There shall be NO IMMUNITY or Statute of Limitations from these codes.*

Outrageous¡! ... ...... .........

This case sounds like the neighborhood preservation court in KCMo. which is actually a social engineering institution that inflicts draconian fines or jail time against someone who isn’t liked by someone of a higher social status while declining to act on substantive complaints against “the right people “. A defendant victim can’t even get the name of the complainer to confront them in court. Missing court dates can get a defendant thrown in jail while malicious parties can easily obtain those dates and know when their victims won’t be at home for hours as these courts take up to half a day to dispense their cases. The process is the punishment.

Criminals!!!

Never buy within city limits or in HOA projects. County, state or federal land only. Less laws, rules and regulations overall, lower taxes, not to mention less enforcers, nosy neighbors and Karen's/Kevin's.

Thank you!😇

So corrupt and so far beyond national disgrace there are no words adequate to describe.

Good job.

hello from europe. how is it possible to operate a kangaroo court in USA? is there no appeal to a higher authority?

A shelter for a human being is a God given need - like air, water, food - necessary for basic survival. Those very needs that a human requires to survive are not protected but regulated at the highest levels.
