[AF] Posturing lawyers

[RichardBJohnson@comcast.net]

Another lawyer story!

It is not just the lawyers, but also the entire judicial system.

I sued an aircraft mechanic in small-claims court. He had broken into my airplane, used it without my permission, damaged it while using it, and then sent me a bill for $1,200 for repairing it! This it real, I could not make up such a story if I tried. First I tried to have him arrested because if you did this to an automobile, it would be grand-theft –auto. I tried three police departments in towns that border the airport. Nobody would do anything. Finally, I filed criminal action papers myself. The two courts that could have jurisdiction refused to accept the complaint. They claimed that it was a “civil matter.” In the meantime, the mechanic filed a lien on my aircraft because I refused to pay the bill.

Therefore, I went and “bought” a lawyer. He said that I should sue him in small-claims court first in an attempt to have the lien removed and the bill marked paid. Therefore, I filed the papers, and waited seven months for the hearing date, which was Thursday.

I arrived at the courthouse at 8:30 AM as required. Then I waited in a courtroom, a basement area, a jury room, and then another courtroom until 1:15 pm. Then I waited for another hour for my case to be heard. My lawyer did not show up. I stated my case, showed my documentation, then patiently waited for the mechanic and his “helper” to explain to the judge that they are licensed by the Federal Government as the first line of defense against airplanes falling out of the sky and that they needed to make the repairs or else ground the airplane. They stated that they had an implied consent to use the airplane because I had claimed that they sold me a defective battery –and they needed to check this out.

Anyway, the court sends its findings via mail, presumably to prevent hatchet-murders from occurring in the courthouse. I think that if the court makes a finding based upon civil law, i.e., there is something called private property and the owner of that property is allowed to control its use, then I will win. However, it is likely that the rogue mechanics will win because they provided such a convincing argument, which was entirely fabricated. We'll see --film at eleven.
