the owner of the mobile home park should have to reimburse every person (all 19 of them) whose car was towed in violation of the county ordinance and the state towing laws.
Excellent job, Sheriff Judd and PCSO. Unfortunately, there are many dishonest, criminal, scumbags in the towing industry, just like this guy and his wife. So nice to finally see them held accountable for their shady, dishonest, criminal actions. The only sad part of this story is, someone had to die, before the tow operators were finally brought to justice.
The city of Tampa uses the same towe company . and the city is also under a investigation for doing the same thing to people in their own community . for towing people car's off for no reason then ego
My uncle owned a wrecker service and I ran it for a couple of years. We ended up having a big falling out because he was trying to make me add charges to bills that shouldn’t be added. When he was running everything his self I would see him tow vehicles that belonged to upper class people and he wouldn’t charge them anything. Most of the time it would be people that he could possibly benefit from later on in some way. Then I would see poor people coming to get their vehicles and being over charged for it. I never seen him cut anybody a break that actually needed it. I seen people be 20 dollars short on their bill and end up losing their car over it because the bill would go up more every day it was there. After our falling out I took over another wrecker service and I pressed the issue with our local police departments and highway patrol until change was made. They made set prices on how much every wrecker service could charge. Wrecks are the only thing that don’t have set rates now. 99% of the time you are dealing with insurance companies instead of the owners though.
@BillyDeLacey yeah, yeah u tube is no place for this discussion..to many snowflakes peeping around every corner projecting themselves and im frankly tired of it.. Be smart unite. Trump supporters are the least of this country/ world's problem..Hope you believe and are armed.. Best of luck.. It's here.
I got a chance to work at Tow yard one time I saw them taking advantage of people with extra fees who couldn't afford to pay and keeping people's cars and Auctioning them off to some people from the sheriff's department that had them towed. Completely wrong. I quit. These Tow yard people are completely heartless.
Sheriff Grady Judd is hands down one of the rarest and the best law enforcing leaders I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t mess with Polk County! We need more of him!!!
Thank you sheriff Grady for standing up and helping us poor people who just want to live our lives with respect and in peace bless you for being there for us
When I first meet Grady we were both young men, he was trying to become a medic and I was driving a cab part time in Winter Haven while going to college, he was a very serious young man even then. Monroe Brandon was sheriff and Eloise was a wild dangerous place.
@@janis5720 I mean we didn't run together but I was around him some, it seems even from a young man he knew what he wanted to do. Sheriff Brandon believed in him and put a lot of faith in Grady at a very early age. One thing when Grady is speaking to you he scans you like a machine, very alert.
@@justinmocio4618 yeah... obviously. lol. The entire case could have happened ANYWHERE else and it would have went the same way. He just told you the story. Your raging hard on is weird.
@@caliindoor no one is "rageing" over here. Lol, wow! I'm curious to know who you're role model is and what leadership position you have held in your career??
This Sheriff needs to be the Attorney General of the US. This is how law enforcement should be done. This Sheriff is an example of what a chief law enforcement officer should be.
Great job Sheriff. I so happy you did to them what they have been doing to good people. Another bully, just this time they had a tow truck. I hope they lose everything. Ya don't treat people that way. Guarantee more charges are on the way because this is a pattern of abuse
Great job, Sherriff. Pasco County is so blessed to have such a good Sherriff. This country needs more good Sherriff's like him. If I was a resident of Pasco County, I would certainly vote for and be a supporter of Sherriff Judd. God bless him for his endeavors to maintain criminal justice in his county.
The towing business attracts some very shady customers, some years ago in the harbor at Gilson park in Wilmette Illinois a Coast Guardsman from the adjoining Coast Guard station was taking a walk early one morning, when he observed a naked male juvenile on deck of a cabin cruiser berthed nearby, he went into the station and notified his officer of his observation and that said juvenile had been acting in a suspicious manner, the officer got another guardsman, and the three, using the Coast Guards authority to board any vessel at any time to perform maritime inspections, boarded the cruiser, where they found the subject juvenile in bed with an equally naked adult male engaged in an intimate act they immediately arrested the man who turned out to be the owner of a local towing company, that just happened to have the Wilmette Police Department's towing contract! He was subsequently charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, ( among many other charges) and sentenced to 30 years, his company was put out of business.
I like this guy. He really CARES about the working poor, hard working people working so hard just to get by. He appears to have a firm grasp upon justice and fair play.
TH-cam rolled over to this vid while I was in the kitchen, but I recognized Grady's voice from there! Came back in here to watch the whole video and realized I had forgotten how much I love Grady Judd and how heckin funny he is! Just stands there with a perfectly straight, innocent sheriff-face, playing with his 8x10 photos like a boy with his toy cars, making me lmaooo. I loves ya, Grady!
Wow, imagine having a sheriff who stands up for the poor like they do everyone else. Most places I have lived people in apartments and mobile home parks were targeted just like in this story, and with the assistance of the police, or BY THE POLICE. The poor or people without status are considered fair game. What are they going to do? they can't hire a lawyer and sue you because they are poor.
Grady you are good man with strong convictions and morals. Thank you for standing up for all. This is a horrible scam and people have been hurting financially this last year so badly. People are just trying to survive. You are awesome
I wish this sheriff was the sheriff here in Chicago. The difference in Florida is they have a great Governor who allow law enforcement to do their jobs and support them. That's not the case here in my city and state.
Encourage your police chief to set up a meeting with Sheriff Judd. Zoom or in person. Whatever works. Your police chief needs to be proactive and consult with top professionals in law enforcement.
I love Grady Judd, he is so awesome. He is such a good person. I could watch n listen to him all day. I wish there was more people n Police Officials like him.
Sheriff, you have given me the reminder.... Good over evil always wins. Good morning Friday the 13th, I hope I see your beautiful sunrise. God bless Juan. Even with the fact he hit a man on purpose, the fact that he dropped off the 14yo away from the scene first, speaks volumes to me.
Great presentation, Sheriff Judd! 30 years ago, NYPD police in Queens, NYC put in a new policy that any cops on patrol who spotted a tow truck with a vehicle in tow were to stop that tow truck and check the paper work. Way too many cars were being stolen here then and the police brass thought that criminals were using tow trucks to steal cars. After the new tow truck policy went into effect, AFAIK, car thefts went down. Then the thieves shifted to stealing car air bags (mine among them).
This video got me thinking now to record all Tow Truck vehicles if they do not have the proper information posted on the side of their trucks to report them
Its like he is doing a Story time at Barnes and Noble...if they pan out...I expect to see a group of first graders sitting in a circle listening to every word...
Instead of predatory towing the complex should go with a warning system approach. after two warnings on what they deem to be a problem they then call a tow company to remove the problem. If there are constant reoffenders to the same problem then just go for the evict from complex.
All the yard owner had to do was to extend the courtesy of allowing the car owner to drive over to the dead battery vehicle and allow it to be jump started. Or... is it because this is Florida and nobody has been trained the skill of jump starting a vehicle. Also, the park owner is not blameless. It should have been written into the contract that tows are not allowed unless the owner calls them in. Truly derelict vehicles would be on site for days before attracting attention. And how are overnight visitors accommodated?
I am new to Florida and live in Sarasota County. I hope the Sheriff of my county is related to this guy, or has the same attitude and convictions about America and the law.
Sheriff Judd, I would there were more sheriff like you yur awsome!!! GOD bless you and your entire dept. I agree with you, they're simply the best in the world
I love this Sheriff! Fair & Honest & he defends the poor while exposing the unscrupulous & wicked evildoers. What law officer would not want to go to work for this just man?
Sheriff Judd, please could we be able to hear the questions asked by those attending these briefings? We hear you responding but we do not know what to. I wish we had people like you in our Police service here in the UK.
I find it hard to believe they didn't get a call the night they were taking the cars, none of those 19 people called about an unmarked truck illegally taking their cars in the middle of the night?
@@monicabolden8663 they did call, the sheriff ignored them because, you know the tow companies and sheriff dept have a working relationship that they feed off each other. They were forced to act because of the murder.
I love that he is serious on ethics, morals & just plain decency. We need more of this emphasized.
Sheriff Judd does seem like he truly cares, he has a heart. Good job

19 people or 19 laws?
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 revisit my post I made a change that should clarify everything
Thank you, it was a bit unclear.
Or they should charge the tow company and then fire them and hire a better tow company.
@@theresaohman7187 charge both of them
3 or 4 days' wages just to get your car back. That is wrong beyond description. That is theft.
This Sheriff is such a good guy with big heart. Explains all so we all could understand and loves to help people.

Looks like Polk County, FLA has a Sheriff's Department that cares for its citizens.

Truly appreciate the visuals with the tow truck going one way, then going the other, and how Sheriff Judd moved them along!
most likely stole had a deal with the tow trucks for kickbacks,....had to know they were hiring a predatory towing company.
Wanna bet that is being looked into which is why they paid back the residents.
Sheriff Judd needs cloning, we need more, LOTS MORE, sheriffs to be like him.

Those tow companies without their ID on the side of the tow truck are often involved in stealing vehicles.
Repo tow trucks working for banks and auto dealers are unmarked.. With the exception of only small numbers labeled on the exterior of the truck.
Did he say they were going to put their decals on their tow truck and use it as their own now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 priceless
I’m just crazy for this Sheriff!!
It certainly has to be an honor working for him! 🇺🇸💙👮♂️
