Wow I hadn't actually watched the video when I made my last comment so I didn't realize the extent of use here. But considering they didn't just use it once and park it at their house and return it the next day your argument falls apart. They repeatedly used it to run errands and were obviously joyriding at high speeds in some segments this guy will be lucky if all he gets is a UUMV charge. And even if his contract does cover this sort of use with customer cars one thing I know from watching civil court TV is that you can't write a contract that essentially allows you to break the law and then go back later and claim it's the other parties fault for not reading the contract. If you break the law you break the law end of story and with the footage they have this guy has zero chance of getting off the hook here.

[edit] Though your right without the video it might be harder to prove and it might have ended up in civil court rather than criminal court though I would think even a civil court Judge would realize this was way beyond fair use. And most car parking companies wouldn't include "special" language in their contracts to cover their asses. It would seem to me that the contract itself would be incriminating at that point.

In Texas they would charge you with "Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle" or a UUMV which is different than Grand Theft Auto. So say I live with a room mate and he has access to my keys cause I leave them on a peg in my kitchen or something and maybe I've even let him use it before but not this time, this time he takes my car to the store when I'm asleep and crashes it or doesn't return for a few days. That's what the charge would be since he didn't really "steal" it he just used it without asking me. I believe it's a either a high class Misdemeanor or the Lowest Class Felony. Sorry for the run-on sentence there not sure how to word that differently lol.

Is there anything they can even charge the guy with though? I mean you are leaving your car with them and giving it over to their care.......so I am betting their paperwork covers their ass for this kind of stuff if it should arise.
I guess the only thing you could possibly do is try to get them on the personal use stuff. Like the hauling of wood, peeling out on dirt roads, etc.


Still betting their agreement has language to cover a very broad number of reasons for them to move your vehicle. Without the video evidence, he could say he took it home because security chased off someone messing with it the night before.
I mean if you sign something saying "it's OK to...." and then they do something that could be construed to fall under that. You've got a much larger argument to be made, IE you entered into a bad agreement and they took advantage of you versus them just behaving beyond the normal for that kind of business.
I'm not saying this guy isn't an absolute dirt bag and deserves someone to beat him soundly for using their vehicle in an asshole way, but......I'm just not seeing it happen in a court of law knowing that no one is going to watch your car without an agreement you sign if you're leaving your keys with them during it. Long term parking is different because you park it yourself and are in charge of handling whatever comes up problem wise with it...never seen a written agreement in that scenario. There the people working the lot getting your car (no keys or keys) would be obviously unauthorized use and not outright theft since it was there when you got back.

Cute, though does this violate HIPPA?
On one hand, she just revealed private medical information about him on national television. On the other hand, you probably sign something before going onto court tv about all submitted evidence becoming publicly available.
I'll bet something like that is a tricky legal pickle.


Naw, I deal with FERPA and HIPPA all the time and in this case it is pretty likely that he signed a release basically saying that any documents brought on the show could be read out. She didn't go into a file against his will, he brought his files to a TV show with no legal standing to be read out loud if she so chose.

I love how court TV adds in the sounds of the punches like its a movie. Awesome.

Same actor from Night Court TV series?

I suppose, if you consider intense emotional indulgence a virtue, then yeah, hurray for the 'judge'! But it's not a virtue, it's a vice. So the judge looses big time. But that's what sells on TV, she'll get her paycheck for that episode for sure. Ricky Lake, Court TV, Jerry Springer, blah blah blah...

Don't deny it smart-ass, if you can read, ( the addiction to sound bite politics, flavor-of-the week media manipulation, and pep-rally pop culture, an understandable diversion) you may notice above, it seems choggie embraces the globe's cyclical dance......and human contribution to the planet's less than admirable scars with regard to creature comforts-

Simply stated, ad infinitum, and once again, for the drunk with media types.....OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO CEE OH TWO AND WEATHER CHANGES

This is not a personal attack on any one's delusion-it is an attack on the media, on agenda-oriented politics, cult of personality and fucking unconscious meat-bots, and their innablity to "Throw Away THeir TEEVEES"

(like a bunch a freekin crack whores)

-the underlying theme of most posts from this end reminds of a mischievous kid screaming fire in a crowded theatre.....it is alarmism-reminds of court TV, Heraldo Revolta, that cunt on Good Morning America, and WW2 propaganda......31 Flavors of Meh!

more pot is the prescription.....better get yer Doctor on that scrip..

Yeah, this was part of a viral marketing campaign a month or so ago for a show on Court TV.
