Comments Thread For: Crawford Out On Bail; Surprised' Attorney Appealing Sentence

[Shadoww702]

Spot on. This is the law. Many jurisdictions require the mechanic to receive authorization for any additional work done. But the mechanic has the right to withhold property until payment is remitted in full. It's the same law that we've used in the moving business to withhold belongings of storage customers who didn't pay. Also, for example, if a roofer does work and you don't pay him, he can put a mechanic's lien on your house and collect from any proceeds from a sale of that house. The law is designed to protect mechanics and workers from customers who would defraud them and leave the mechanic with no recourse to recoup their losses.

As far as Mr Crawford, a lot depends on the amount of damage that was done to the lift. Under NE law, there are three levels of property damage misdemeanor charges. The top level carries up to a year, the mid level carries up to 6 months, and the lower level carries up to 3 months, with each charge carrying varying levels of fines as well. The disturbing the peace charge also carries up to 3 months active jail time and I believe up to $500 fine

I guess Crawford is ***'d Dumb ass should of called Saul...I mean Bob 1st. He has a *** lawyer for a boss!!! WTF is wrong with that dumb@ss. And someone needs to tell him gang****ing at 26 when your WORLD Champion is FkN ******ED...

K TY I didn't know that??? So what if they do a bunch of repairs you didn't even sign off on??? Too me I can see a huge scam if you fix a ride and then demand way more $$$$. This towing business got popped because they would tow vehicles around holidays and weekends to charge way extra to get them out. And would also hide vehicles from owners to get way more $$$$ or keep the vehicle if u couldn't t pay.

Though it seems crazy and wide-open for corruption, it's necessary to keep shops in business. We think of them as rip off experts but many small, honest shops struggle to stay in business. Let people grab their shyt without paying and you can almost guarantee a huge amount of your income is gone. That's part of the reason healthcare rates are incredible. Nearly 50 billion went unpaid recently in a single year in the US.

Even if you work in stages, problems come up. We had a guy bounce a $5k check (on a 15k resto) and disappear for 2 years. That got sticky because the shop lost hundreds every month due to having that car take up a bay.

Maybe they don't know how good ***ish lawyers are in NE. I had a ***ish lawyer firm custody case (got sole legal and physical custody), and when that b itch tried to say I assaulted her when I never even saw the b itch. (She was so scared to testify and catch that perjury charge, she claimed amnesia, lol). But, in all fairness, I didn't know until my man from NY put me on to it. I really don't think he'll get the max on anything, at least I hope not for Bud's sake

Yup!!! *** Lawyers are the BEST by FAR and that's how F'n DUMB Crawford is...Mine saved me BIG time in my divorce. I'm not being mean or racist just honest. I had another friend moved to his girlfriends small hometown and her family pretty much owned most of the town and he got married there. Then years later got a divorce I asked my attorney what he should do and he said move 1st and then divorce her. Don't file for divorce in her home town... The idiot did and he got ****d sooo bad it's truly sad. Not only if SHE dies does his alimony payments not stop but they continue on to her SISTER also. Swear to god!!! His alimony stops when he's dead or BOTH his ex and her sis. They so have ZERO kids. Married only 10 years.

Damn I forgot about that. Yeah taking up space and time can cost u alot of money. Plus I'm sure those tools probably cost mechanics a small fortune when starting out. Just goes and showed you how dumb Crawford is. I've seen talented ppl all the time fail end up Dead or in jail because they're too ****** to delete their past from their future. Jury is out on Crawford. 50/50 I give him.

[PunchyPotorff]

It would be interesting to see the judge's record on similar crimes and offenders with a breakdown. This smells!

Funny how most people whine about crime, and how the judge needs to get tougher... until someone they like or they themselves get popped.

It sucks because I really like Crawford as a boxer. But, I'm not going to make excuses for the guy. He said some really ****** stuff after the incident and it was a big let down. I'm not ready to write him off like he's Broner or something, but he's definitely got to get his shyt together. Boxing as a career is a fleeting opportunity and guys who don't mature quickly end up as another stereotypical ex-boxer.

i know he's trying to emulate Floyd, but this is taking it way too far.

[therealpugilist]

The guy can literally buy 5 of the same model car. He's going to end up paying 10 times the amount he would have and maybe do time. It's laughable. He may end up showering with other naked men behind bars because his pride got the best of him.

Regardless bro...the principle is you pay for a service that's what you expect...not to get finessed out of more money.

How much money a person has. Has nothing to do with paying for a service to be done a particular way

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Typical racist white trash.

If I bring my suit to the cleaners and we agree on a simple dry clean for tomorrow. I arrive the next day and they tell me the suit was hemmed and altered in addition to being cleaned...well, I'm not paying anymore than what we agreed upon.

Similarly if they say "you can't have your suit back" I'm either taking it myself or calling the police.

Some schmuck can't just rip him off b/c he's successful. And you supporting it is garbage like the garbage racist you are

"Typical racist white trash"?! Really?!

LOL

So let me get this straight, Crawford sat around with his boys and conjured up a whooooole plan to outnumber the mechanic, get his car off the lift, attach it the back of a getaway truck, and leave?

He thought of all that, but couldn't rub two brain cells together and think to get local authorities involved? If you're siding with him, then you're the problem here.

And for the record, I'm black...and I'm tired of seeing fellow black men (and people in general) do ****** stuff like this, and most cry "foul play" when authorities get involved.

Crawford's gotta think a little bit, being that he's a pro fighter and has some money in his pockets nowadays. If he keeps pulling stunts like this, then he probably won't be able to afford $1,500 repairs in the future.

Again, I like him, but if he had that much time to do it the wrong way, then surely he has enough time to do the right thing from now on.

PS: Nobody cares about your pleated suits at the cleaners.
