Anonymous Coward User ID: 1377865 United States 06/04/2011 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WTF are they talking about? As far as I know the only way you can be arrested for debt is if you have committed fraud like a hot check etc. Yet they are claiming people are being jailed for missing a couple credit card payments or not paying a bill? I CALL BULL SHIT! |

Quoting: Z-ManBrilliant idea, in a recession with crime rising and people falling deeper in debt due to the economy, take our already diminished police force, send them after people who can't keep up with their bills and throw them in jail at tax payer expense so they loose their job or it keeps them from finding one and definitely can't pay their bills. |

I CALL BULL SHIT! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1377865you need to educate yourself on the subject. They've figured out a way to "legally" do it. the claim is they aren't locking you up for the debt, they reframe it and turn it into a crime. If you think they don't too bad for you. |
