Good morning, I was wondering if you could help me figure out an issue? I have a vehicle left on the property I was hired to do a trash out at. My assignment states that I am supposed to remove the vehicle but it is basically a new car left on the property and its been there for 8 months. What can I do with this vehicle? Can I keep this vehicle instead of scrapping it? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
The quickest path to jail or a civil lawsuit is to follow the legal advice provided by the Vendor Managers at the Mortgage Order Mills. You might be better off getting answers to legal questions by asking Andy at the Advanced Auto Store in Orlando. He can provide legal advice and also check your car battery for FREE. Don’t call SOFI as we never offer legal advice.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The rationale of the doctrine is that if ignorance were an excuse, a person charged with criminal offenses or a subject of a civil lawsuit would merely claim that he or she is unaware of the law in question to avoid liability, even if that person really does know what the law in question is. Thus, the law imputes knowledge of all laws to all persons within the jurisdiction no matter how transiently. Even though it would be impossible, even for someone with substantial legal training, to be aware of every law in operation in every aspect of a state’s activities, this is the price paid to ensure that willful blindness cannot become the basis of exculpation. Thus, it is well settled that persons engaged in any undertakings outside what is common for a normal person, such as running a nuclear power plant, will make themselves aware of the laws necessary to engage in that undertaking. If they do not, they cannot complain if they incur liability.
The inspector asking about removing a vehicle from property needs to start with a call to the local Department of Motor Vehicles. The laws for the removal and disposition of vehicles varies significantly across both counties and states. Know the local law before you act. If any act has too much risk … then let someone else take on the risk. Don’t trust the legal advice provided by a Vendor Manager.
when I did mortgage inspections I had a running battle going with the company I did them for about doing inspections in gated communities. they wanted me to follow someone into the community as they didn’t have any credentials for entering. I did this as long as we were doing simple drive by inspections but then they started wanting us to knock on doors and interview the residents! I told them I was NOT about to enter a gated community without permission and then knock on the door and identify myself! I had to look up Florida Statutes and get opinions from management companies that managed gated communities to prove that gated communities, including their streets, are private property in the state of Florida. They finally backed down. but they soon found someone else who was willing to keep doing it. I’m better off in the long run.
