AKBuilder762 They especially like this tactic if you being in jail for the first time can cause you to lose a job and then result in your home going into foreclosure. People with no mortgage and good reason to be in jail? We're not teaching him a lesson by keeping him in here. Turn him loose.
They generally don't automatically arrest on probation violations. Probation officers don't have arrest powers. His probation officer would have to go to court and violate him and get an arrest warrant. If he was on parole, the parole officer could have arrested him as parole officers typically have arrest powers.
How the hell do you move in an empty house for two years!!!! Most hardworking tax payers can't even get financed to buy a home. Something is very wrong!!
It's pretty easy. You find a foreclosed house, and you live inside it. Usually after living there long enough you go to the court and pay some fees and you "own" the house and it becomes a legal battle for the real owners to get you out.
@Jason Shoots squatters moved in across the street from my friend. Your right. They acted completely normal. Moved in all their stuff. Tons of stuff..even tried to introduce themselves.....it was a foreclosed home.
Someone is just very smart or very lucky or did know the previous owners n got in that way.. shows you how shitty these banks are n dont give a . about us most are not even American owned.. i say good on that guy who lived there for free.. he messed up or would still be there! all that junk n calling the cops on each other lol how dumb
@@billybatts9491 I suspect it is becoming more common. Partly due to confusion over the big housing crash and the nightmare of clearing all of those titles and partly due to houses being bought up by LLCs and left empty. I wish I understood the point of that. I understand buying investment property but, wouldn’t you want to rent it out or hire someone to maintain it?
@Jacko Sargs No that house probably would have rented for at least $900 a month during that time frame based on the Mt. Juliet area. That was a very nice home. He lived rent and mortgage free for two years and would have owed around $20,000 total in either rent or mortgage had he actually rented or owned the home. Those property taxes for two years would not have been near that amount. He gamed the system and should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Maybe a little prison time would have calmed his arrogant nasty tempered backside down.
Gotta love the slimy lawyer. "My client couldn't believe that he responded the way he did." Yeah, okay pal your client up until that moment was a choir boy.
Steal a candy bar from the local Winn Dixie and cops will arrest you for shoplifting. Steal a house, and it takes two years and an eviction notice to force them out ??
Woot cops hands are tied. It's the stupid political machine that is at fault for passing these laws with the loop holes that these low life's use to beat the system.
While he was in jail the bank should've had his stuff removed from the premises and the vehicles towed to an impound lot. He was trespassing therefore in no position to make deals of any kind.
@@spikefivefivefive in fairness it's not that squatters have rights. It's that tenants do and if all a landlord had to do was say oh no, I didn't rent to them to take the place. Well then you'd be on here saying it's outrageous the court simply takes the landlords word as it covered a story about a woman who did have a lease and paid rent getting kicked out homeless on the street because the landlord pretended it didn't exist. This is the cost of basically being generally in favor of tenants over landlords at least in regards to this. Yes it means that the tenants and squatters can abuse the system to stay free for periods of time. But like this two year thing I mean. Yes it's absurd not it's also absurd the freaking bank took two years to realize they owned a half million dollar home so...
@@dirtyrotten2648 Yep! They will toss you out so quick it isn't funny.bwe were foreclosed on after my organ transplant. Because we got behind. Then I couldn't drive. So we had to leave my new truck behind. The mortgage guy came out 2 days later and stopped some tow truck company and had it towed. They didn't know who took it! And we couldn't find it for almost a year. The tower ng company wanted $11,000 for storage fees. The mortgage people said it was all on us. So we lost our home and vehicle!!!😭😭
Squatters have no rights until after he period, usually 10 years, according to the adverse possession laws in the state. Before then they are just tresspassers.
@Martin Dennis It is to prevent "long-lost heirs of any former owner, possessor or lien holder of centuries past" to come along long after the fact and claim your home as their own. If nobody claims a house for 10 years it's a safe bet they don't care or don't know about it.
Squatters rights laws where created in the hopes that the squatters had the means and intent to maintain or even improve the property. If that’s how people acted it would allow people a chance at owning property they otherwise might have never had the chance to. And it would benefit the neighborhood by not having their property values decline due to empty houses that were frequented by criminals. And the government would get more tax money. Sadly 99% of squatters are the very problem the law tried to prevent.
Martin Dennis like I said most squatters aren’t using the law in the way it was intended. The way things are now state governments should have the right to seize any foreclosed property that is being toss around by the banks for tax purposes. Then it should be auctioned off to people with HUD secured loans. Then more people can have a chance at owning a home and the government can recover money that banks scammed taxpayers out of.
During the housing market/banking crash a few years back - when people were being evicted from their homes for not paying their mortgage I heard so many stories of what people did to the home before leaving. One guy up the street from where I lived at the time plugged all the sinks and tubs in the house and turned on all the water and completely flooded his house. The water ran for weeks before it was noticed. The house had to be heavily remodeled before they were able to put it on the market to sell.
Kinda off topic but a little story to go along with that time period... I use to do some landscape work and started doing some trash out/clean out jobs during that time. One quote was in a gated community with one to three million dollar homes which is a lot for the area that probably averaged about $185k. It was a scam from the get go. The builder, buyer, appraiser, and loan officer were all in on the scam. The builder just threw the house together, 7100 sq ft , it appraised for $1.2 million, worth maybe $800k. They got some woman to be the mule with made up information and they all took a cut. The woman had a party the night after she closed on the house with 300 guests, most of it in the full basement. The police showed up and shut the party down and everyone left, the septic pump failed and flooded the basement with party poo. $60,000 for the mold remediation after it sat there for months before the bank got it back. The front stoop had pulled away from the house THREE times and I mean like 1.5 feet away because loose soil around the basement was just dumped in and never tamped and due to drainage issues. There were still loads of brick, gravel, and sand sitting in the front yard. And at one spot inside the house, you could see from one end to the other, solid hardwoods throughout, and if you'd snapped a chalk line it probably varied a foot or more from one end to the other and it curved back and forth the whole way with lots of places with 1/2" to 1" gaps running between boards. The HOA had been fining them $100 per day for over 10 months....$30k+ Lots of other issues like a bunch of trees ready to fall either on the house or in the street. Crazy times back then for sure.
"I'm pretty sure that after he left, no one would want to live in that house. He probably destroyed it." Nope. He took pretty good care of it (it was where he was living, after all), and it sold quickly after he was gone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JHuXee7eIoE.html
Chill Boss Liberal? No. It's unclear what the guy's political ideology is but his actions and behavior are more akin to a leftist extremist. A violently unhinged self entitled person with no issue in taking what isn't his and claiming a right to it then, lashing out violently against those who'd question him while crying victim.
Chill Boss I like how you try to give your argument validity by using a broad term like "right winger". You commit the obvious fallacy of attempting to make an argument that omits information that's disadvantages to your bias ideology. Using a broad term on one side, then narrowing your terminology "liberal" to omit the equally disturbing actions of leftist extremists. Then you presume to parrot MSM talking points and even go so far as to use leftist extremist buzz words to associate symbols and events that have no relevance to the discussion in a poor and quite frankly pathetic attempt to round people up into collectives groups based on those predefined leftist extremist terminologies. In essence, your argument isn't your own nor does it derive from an original thought. Almost following the MSM leftist bias algorithm to an exact. Confederate flag=right winger=Conservative=Trump supporter. It's rather sad how brainwashed you are.
Best thing to happen in this case was for that guy to threaten them with the ax. It went from a civil case to a criminal case and now the police can step and arrest him.
if you're going to squat in a beautiful home, why would you park cars all over the place, trash the place, call the police to that place for domestic disputes etc?
because they are shit heads, that don't give a damn about anything. They are stupid criminals. They had a good thing going and if they were smart, they would keep their heads down and walk softly. If they were smart
presumably that's how he was making the cash to pay the taxes. probably buying old junkers, fixing them up, and selling them for a profit. probably also how he ended up with a stolen car.
So he made a deal with the bank that owns the property. What sort of BS is that. He is 'squatting' on the property ILLEGALLY and needs to get out - period.
WRONG! Simply paying the taxes owed does not entitle the person to ownership. Properties ARE auctioned off for the amount of back taxes and fees owed, however, that is not what happened here. This person simply paid the city/county/state/Federal taxes owed and moved in without the owners (banks) consent which is illegal to do.
He's lucky he was given two weeks notice after squatting for years. Two weeks to find another forgotten listing and never have to pay rent for the rest of his life.
Sounds like the bank had the power to have him removed the whole time. They just didn't want to be bothered with it until the law got involved with this incident.
I knew a family which was essentially squatting for *seven years* in a house from which they had been evicted. They lived in an area which was hit hard by the financial crisis, so a rather candid bank employee told them that as long as they kept the place up and did repairs as needed the bank would rather have them there than some random crack-heads and would look the other way. It crushed their credit scores, but they got a heck of a lot of free rent!
True that. As a woman, I would have come very close to shooting him. When you know you can't physically compete with a crazy person, the crazy person is going to get shot.
This is the reason I have a carry permit. Charge me with an mattock. You'll receive several of Dr. Glock's .40 caliber pain pills. The real interesting thing about this entire situation, is the fact he probably could have lived there indefinitely. If he didn't have all that trash in the yard, broken down cars and so on, and kept a low profile, no one would have known better. Other reports on this story have demonstrated that this property had been passed from bank to bank, and immediate ownership was not known. Had this nut job kept a low profile, he might still be living there.
Spicy Flavor Tide Pods and then you go to jail for trespassing and murder. While he was squatting legally that is his property until he was evicted and the news crew was trespassing he had every right to defend his home and if I were him I would appeal the assault charges and Sue the news station
@@MrGrilledcheeseits Wrong answer friend. There is no such thing as 'squatters rights' in any state of the union. It's not his property until he has a deed. Furthermore, according to Tennessee law, the moment he picks up the mattock, and charges the crew, that becomes a 'grevious bodily threat', that can be met with lethal force. Troll harder.
To Channel 5, at 0:24-0:30, the guy was approaching you pretending to holding a firearm at his 4 o'clock. Whether you guys ignored it or missed, your lives were being threatened way before he grabbed that axe. Be careful out there. Great job helping this community.
You know the inside is absolutely ruined. It’ll cost the next party $100K or more just to get it back to it’s original condition. Too bad because it’s such a beautiful house.
You do that crap in Florida, and it's called a, "Stand Your Ground" defense for the News Crew / Person that shoots you dead in the chest, while you charge them with your handyman, Mattock / Axe.
Castle Doctrine does not always apply to you and your axe while you are attacking a person who has only a camera or microphone and they are recording that they are not attacking you.
That criminal squatter gave the news crew a golden opportunity to take him out. The squatter raised a deadly weapon. The squatter had no right to be on the property. The news crew had reason to fear for their lives, and had no duty to retreat because they had a right to be there to report the news. It is time we stop restricting the right of good people to put rubbish into its proper place.
As part of the squatter’s bond conditions, he has to stay 1,000 feet away from the property he claimed was his and its residents. If he does return, he can face a harsher sentence.
Imagine stealing someone else's house, then charging at a total stranger with an axe (on camera). This guy was already on probation and he STILL got let out on bail.
The problem is banks are taking forever to foreclose on properties. A lady in my condo complex died in 2009, bank didn’t foreclose until 2017. They were aware of the situation long before that,just chose not todo anything.
"One of the first things he said was he couldn't believe that he had responded in the way that he had." I seriously doubt this Cro-Mag could construct a coherent sentence anywhere close to what the lawyer said.
Eviction is hardly good enough. Putting him in jail and hitting him in the pocketbook for trespassing might be a deterrent but for this dirtbag, probably not.
Honestly; the dude's name is "Jude Piss-kie"?! He shore looks like an upstanding, God fearing man! LOL and if you ever pick up an axe and make like you're gonna seriously assault someone, you shouldn't be surprised if you get shot.
No. I am a Working Class robot, doing unskilled labor, and living from check-to-check, just like millions of other Working Class robots. In my spare time, I do research and writing, and hope to get into publishing. (See "The Master of Perception" on Wattpad.) "Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase" (Proverbs 13:11, KJV).
Your right Liberty2014. What this country needs is more tax cuts for the richest 2%, so we can get trickled down on. We are so lucky Trump is fixing this problem. He's also making America great again by selling all his and Ivanka Trumps merchandise, that they have made in China and Vietnam and India and Bangladesh and The Netherlands and Mexico. It takes a lot of money to make America great again. SUCKERS
In a case like this, you want to try to live rich?. If I was the attorney for the bank I would have sued every living soul in the house for all they are worth. Don't want to pay,we will attach your welfare and tax refunds.
Dear Judge, I know it's so easy to con you by saying, I can't believe I acted that way, surprised you made me leave though, maybe I should have cried a little.
I don't think that guy voted for Trump. He wanted free shit. That means Democrat on the plantation crap. You may also notice he argued with emotions instead of facts..... true marks of a leftist Democrat. He also had a hipster "lumberjack" (he even had the axe) thingie going on.... again..... leftist Democrat.
The arrogance of this Einstein, thinking he has the RIGHT to squat on this property. "How DARE you reporters call me out!". In court, he got far better treatment than he deserved.
My understanding was that a home had to be abandoned before a squatter could move in. They must be pretty liberal about defining "abandoned" in Tennessee.
