@ TheHutMaster. Totally agree with you on what would of happened to these security guards if they pulled that kind of bullshit in Tampa. Least a third of em would of died. Especially when the first person yells out all they got are tazers with them. And with Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law" they'd pretty much get away with it, cause as far as they knew these guys were doing a home invasion, they got no paperwork. LOL!!!

In reply to Fed up. It is covered in just 4 words in the english language. "Its an election year". we all have to remeber some good ole statistics. only 4-5 % defend their home from foreclosure the rest of us are deadbeat homeowners who want a "fee house" the mainstream media can not run this stuff because the general public will think obama is helping deadbeat homeowners and it can cost him the election. we are winning people one house at a time. we need to pass info to eveyrone we know. if you ask for a modification, forbearance and you are told to pay a smaller amount or not to pay unil you are in default remember they dual track foreclosures. keep checking the county records. i new the day my lawsuit was filed, i new that wek i would be served, my husnabd signed the service, with in 2 days i had my lawyer. this ifo needs to get out to everyone we know so this shenanigans stops. hope this helps some people.

Yes this could have turned nasty.
I was not aware that security guards could evict in any state, other than at motels/hotels.
I hope they get a verdict that is huge, and just.

In reply to To Tell The Truth.

Winning a foreclosure is one thing, the follow-up that is REQUIRED to EVICT is an UNLAWFUL DETAINER here in CA. They do NOT mention obtaining such and, if they DID get a ‘U-D’, it would have been enforced by the SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT.

Even if a defective U-D was obtained (i.e., one that did not name the actual tenants or provide notice to the actual tenants), it would NEVER have been up to the HOA and private security force to enforce it!

This is SO clearly outside the laws it is ridiculous. Even if the occupants were squatters instead of paying tenants, it would have been the sheriff’s task to get them out, not the private force.

Since the HOA won a case on foreclosing on properties even if there is a loan, and for being able to collect HOA fees from tenants…a;; hell seems to be breaking loose with them all over the place…

@ HutMaster,

Did you notice it is a CIVIL SUIT? Most likely, the police refused to arrest anyone. But it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the police had arrived while the residents were being kept out of the property. At least then a police report might have listed the names of the private security force members.

The practice in CA for an eviction is that the SHERIFF’s DEPARTMENT meets with a representative for the property to do the door-knocking/demand that the tenant leave the property immediately and the property rep is to change out the locks right then.

It is NEVER a private group that does an eviction. Even with a foreclosure, a separate Unlawful Detainer has to be served on the OCCUPANTS. This never happened in this case. The HOA seems to be operating way outside the law. If the allegations are true, the occupants will get a tidy sum awarded by the courts against the HOA. Courts here are VERY PRO-TENANT.

But the private security force? All they may endure is MAYBE loosing their job. They are not being charged with any crime.

But they seem to fit the description of a home invasion. Keep it up and you will see guns drawn.

Depending on the area of CA, you could also expect a gun shot if you broke in. We are having enough home invasion robberies that are even occur during broad daylight. The laws here allow you to defend yourself with deadly force inside you residence. They should know better than to pull this, even in CA.

If this gets media attention, it will only be cause for people to buy arms NOW.

In Florida if you invade someones home in the middle of the night you would likely get shot by a law biding citizen. It is appalling how the main stream media is failing to investigate and report on the out of control wickedness occurring thorough out the USA. There is a rampant epidemic of unlawful invasion and theft of private property. The media is practically silent ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN… it seems is sticking there heads in the ground the almighty fair and balanced Fox News is also derelict on this issue .
C’mon Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and you to Gretta all of you need to do better a better job reporting the Foreclosure crime wave.
