Armed bounty hunters enter home in Buffalo with police and no warrant

[spat]

We'll see what happens. All I know is I don't commit crimes or let people that do stay in my house so my front door is nicely in tact. Seems to be working well for me. This is pretty simple stuff.

There's no evidence this guy did either.

Not sure you're paying attention, but "following the rules" doesn't protect you from this stuff anymore.

Hope you never get screwed over due to your trust in "the system".

Not worried about it. Not gonna hide under my bed. If my door gets kicked in they will be paying to fix it once they get the situation straightened out.

Oh and they didn't drive from PA to this exact house for no reason.

In case you didn't read the article I posted, no, they won't be replacing the door.

They will demolish the house and then tell you you're on your own.

Ok. When? Are they coming right now?























Not concerned about it. This wasn't a random house. It was his relatives where he was surely living. It will all play out. No use having people who don't know the facts or laws arguing over it.

Yet here you are.

I'm not the one making charges of wrongdoing or crimes without evidence.

Remember, you all thought they needed a warrant before I got here. Now everyone's an expert.

You *are* the one making charges of wrongdoing and crimes without evidence.

You have accused the homeowner of all manner of malfeasance with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

You're entire justification is that "bounty hunters don't show up at your door unless you're guilty of something" is ridiculous on it's face.

Then you completely ignore any evidence presented to the contrary.

No, they used Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs.

My favorite is his argument "they said this and that, I've heard it all before" in a way to try and make himself sound like LEO thats dealt with these cases and others like it in his 3 week career as a security guard

So they just drove there from PA because they wanted to take a road trip? Maybe they were in the area for wings and decided to drop by this random house that happens to be the guys family? The most simple and reasonable thing to believe is they went directly there because that is where the criminal was living (hiding). This is further supported by the fact that they called BPD for backup. People don't usually call the cops to meet them at a location of a crime they are about to commit. Keep it simple. The simple and obvious answer is almost always the right one. Anything else is pure speculation and people writing their own version of events. Yeah but maybe this or what if that or I googled this. Remain calm and if something was done that was wrong those facts will come out and appropriate action will be taken. There is no need for excitement or wild speculation. Let the facts play out.

The simplest explanation is that they went to this house because the guy they were after said he would come in after he kept an appointment in Buffalo.

That none of this was necessary because the guy was going to turn himself in after the appointment, but if he did that, these guys wouldn't get paid, so they needed to catch him first.

That they do this job because they *like* kicking in doors and assaulting people and will look for any excuse to do it.

That this innocent homeowner's place was the only connection they could find in Buffalo and they were just guessing he *might* be there.

And that the SCOTUS decision you keep touting has nothing whatsoever to do with what was going on here.

ok.

 

[spat]

ok.

Or maybe the guy lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his brother's place in Buffalo and commutes to PA every day to commit petty crimes.

Yea, that seems likely too.

yes. Nobody could ever go to PA and commit a crime and return to where they came from. Impossible.

 

[spat]

yes. Nobody could ever go to PA and commit a crime and return to where they came from. Impossible.

Oh, it's possible, sure.

Probably not very likely, but possible.

The question is why it's so important to you that that's what happened here.

I said let the facts play out. All we have right now is the criminals family making accusations and they have plenty of motive to not be truthful. (dropped charges of criminal family member, payday, etc). I find it very unlikely that things weren't done properly especially because the police were notified and invited to the scene beforehand. As stated, people dont call them and have them meet them at the scene of a crime before they are about to commit it or engage in other wrongdoing. It just doesn't hold up on it's face. I look at everything under the guide of reasonableness. It's not reasonable to call the cops to participate in a crime.

People bring their meth to the cops to be tested for covid.

Don't tell me "they had the cops there so they must be on the up and up".

In the very least they were violating SAFE and they called the cops to watch them do it.

They've probably kicked in so many doors illegally they don't even know it's a crime.

More wild speculation. You don't know who they are or what they are allowed to have and are now making statements that begin with "probably". These are obviously absent of any fact and don't belong here. I could say anyone "probably" did anything. It holds no water.

If we eliminated the posts without verifiable facts, your name wouldn't appear anywhere in this thread.

I know they are bounty hunters, not law enforcement.

That means there is no exception in SAFE for them.

Even if they are LE and bounty hunting is a part time job for them, that makes them *not* "on duty" so they are not exempt.

You are going to great lengths with your assumptions in an attempt to justify the actions these BH's took, yet you criticize anyone who makes reasonable inferences that they "don't have the facts".

I am still trying to figure out *why* it's so important to you that the thugs breaking in the door are the good guys and the guy sleeping at home with his family is the bad guy ?

When you're trying to side with the guys holding the toddler at gun point you might want to re-evaluate your perspective.

 

[Saltwater60]

It says most people do it part time. 36K is nice part time money I think. And you can have your residence at 123 main st without owning the house. You have kids right? Well their residence is XXX yet they dont own the house. Where you are living is your residence.

I’m pretty sure my kids have my permission to live at my house though. I can’t just pick a nicer house than mine and make that my legal residence because I don’t live there or own the property.

 

[Saltwater60]

Ok, so when, exactly was the last time this criminal was there, and for how long?

Oh, you don't know.

You don't even know the basic facts in this case. It will all play out in due time. Whatever is right will be done. Until then we don't need people convicting them without knowing any facts or the laws related to it other than a quick google search. Heck, before I chimed in here everyone was up in arms about them not having a warrant. It wasn't until I chimed in that people realized they don't need a warrant. Now all of the sudden everyone's a legal expert and knows all of the intricacies of bounty law and SC decisions.

You 100% fail every time to acknowledge the fact that they entered a renting tenants home at gun point, they lied about having a warrant, they broke the law by forcing their way into his home, and they did the same thing to this guys moms house. We also have no clue if this was listed as his residence or if he ever visited there.
The BH visited likely places for him to go. The only thing you’re right on is we don’t know all the facts.

 

[Saltwater60]

We'll see what happens. All I know is I don't commit crimes or let people that do stay in my house so my front door is nicely in tact. Seems to be working well for me. This is pretty simple stuff.

Anyway they will be arrested for the crimes they committed. They can’t just go braking into any house they like at gun point because they are related to the criminal.
You state it seems to be working for you but this very same instance could happen to you say if your brother broke the law and jumped bail. These same bounty hunters might think he would stay at your home because they don’t know you. They could show up and break into your home at gun point for this very reason and how would you feel then? Would you say they had every right to do so ok come on in?

 

[Saltwater60]

Not worried about it. Not gonna hide under my bed. If my door gets kicked in they will be paying to fix it once they get the situation straightened out.

Oh and they didn't drive from PA to this exact house for no reason.

Again you fail to realize they broke into his mothers house first. Was the criminal there maybe but maybe not. Maybe they just did this to ever relative they could find for a buck? Maybe they are assholes and maybe the mom and brother are criminals. Either way the BH broke the law by entering the home by force and entering the tenants house under any circumstance. BH go to jail.

Also if you watch this video the guy with the shot gun tries the front door twice. That’s illegal since he needs permission to enter.

Seems like this happens more than we would like to think. Feel safe now chev? A quick google search of bounty hunters at wrong house leads to many instances of this, breaking down doors, and even some shoot outs.

Actually, if its not the skips property they would need a warrant and thats part of the debate. But your viewpoint has prompted many to research and educate ourselves, which is the point of a good discussion.

 

[spat]

BH go to jail.

I would like to believe that, but I have no faith in our justice system anymore.

 

[spat]

This wasn't a random house. It was his relatives where he was surely living.

So, the other places they broke into were *also* where he was "surely living" ?

How many residences does this guy have ?

 

[NYCGuy]

This seems pretty despicable after watching the video. They lied about having a warrant. They told him to go in his house and “secure” his family (whatever that shit means) then told him to get out immediately after telling him to go back in. It’s pretty clear these guys are not professionals and are panicked wannabe cops who had very little clue what they were doing.

You can see how the true seasoned professionals handled themselves. The real police. They got baited into being witnesses to this nonsense by these guys with their fancy cop lookalike uniforms. The real cops never drew their weapons and remained extremely calm while the fake police walked around a private citizen’s house with shotguns *pointed*, not even in a tactical ready position, straight up pointing guns randomly to the point where a loud noise or someone frantically jumping out of bed could have caused them to have a negligent discharge.

As far as I’m concerned, jail time for the lying home invaders and too bad the city of Buffalo is surely going to have to pay the bill for this fiasco (I can’t imagine the lowlife PA bounty hunter agency that conducts itself like this has a penny to their name to pay out a lawsuit here). Props to the cops for remaining calm and not getting too involved but I imagine they will never allow something like this to happen on their watch ever again.

And for our blue lives matter fanatics who think anyone wearing a badge, whether it’s real or fake, can do no wrong, remember it’s the cops in this state that can’t wait for you to give them a reason to take your rights away and deny or revoke your license. Not everyone that doesn’t have a badge and comes into contact with someone who does have a badge is a criminal or aiding and abetting criminals. We live in a society where we usually have family and friends and acquaintances. We don’t control everything everyone does. We should show compassion to our fellow citizens and not disregard them. That’s what leads to shit like this happening, the antisocial disregard for civilians’ rights.

Whoa. You guys still arguing over this? Just wait until at least @GOPerfect comes back and tells the actual story. Then we will see what actually happens when the cases are over and done with. Of course the person who is dead wrong and has been told so by someone with actual inside information will still argue the contrary. Don't waste your time people.

I have nothing more to offer. I reached out for more information, but no one is sharing anything.

 

[Celt]

I'm sure we're all looking forward to the facts coming out, but I think more of what was being debated here was people's opinions and perspectives about how things should go, theoretically, in situations like this. It was a discussion bigger than just this actual incident.
