I noticed the mistake on the last video from the comments, LOL. Thank you everyone for being part of the towtrucker family. I do read the comments and i wish that I could respond to every single one. Good evening
Seen everyone of your videos always look forward to seeing them.didnt understand isn't it the same with trailer parks as with apartment complexs if owner wants gone you have right tow it why police saying it's civil matter? Johnny needs sent those cops straight lol☮️
I would have told those cops, "So let me get this straight, if I park my car in YOUR backyard you have no power to have my car removed from your property - Is that what you're saying???..."
It's like when my sister was staying at my parents house and was breaking into my locked bedroom and stealing my stuff. When I told the cops about it they said "she is a resident of the household. So it's not breaking and stealing". So I'm like "so I come live at your house and I break into your locked bedroom and steal your property than you can't do nothing about it next I'm a resident".
That's completely different. You are not a guest in that scenario. I'm not saying the cop is right, he's definitely not, the manager has every right to tow that car. But the situation you made up is not at all what happened here
Johnny, it is a sad state of things when a police officer doesn't know the law. You explained what was correct more than once and no one was listening. Great job being cool, calm and above all professional.
It's also a way to bring the crime rate down. Turn everything into "civil issue" and the crime rate is reduced by 90%. That's how my country got a low crime rate. Some scammer steals your money? Civil issue A conman sells you something but fails to deliver after you paid him? Civil issue Insurance fraud? Civil issue In the Netherlands crime does pay.
It was always laughable when I worked for a motor club and people who had never run a truck tried to tell me how to do my job or acted like they knew more than me. Big props for clapping back at that sheriff and telling him what’s up since he didn’t know. You handled it with authority and grace like a great driver does.
Don’t ya just love it when the tow guy shows up and the driver of the car/truck/trailer right off starts telling him just how everything should be done. Ever watch “everything auto”? Jeff gets this fairly often even when there’s some precarious situations in the Smokey mountains. Nobody knows better than him how to handle things but the customer sometimes has to give him advice. He always handles it with grace. But it does amuse me.
Problem is they don't know the law, can't enforce what you don't know. It's sad and kinda scary when you think about it!

@@GeoffJRC I used that exact analogy many years ago to a cop where I actually knew where he lived since I towed cars from his house before. His supervisor, one of the officers I pulled countless headouts for, came out and straightened him up. Then we had two officers on scene to keep the vehicle owner from bashing my head in while I'm hooking up.
@@GeoffJRC that analogy isn't quite right, its more like the officer owning a second home he rents out, and you went and parked on the front lawn of the renter and the renter let you park there.

Then they cause issues with the previous owner of the car that got towed bcs they were wondering why their car got towed and the other car didn't. That's why they came over and started complaining. It's to the point now that cops cause more problems then not. Crazy

It should've been the cop's job at that point to stop a confrontation and aggressive maneuvers of the owner trying to physically stop Johnny. I can't imagine the cop not doing anything at that point.
That officer needs to have someone school him on towing laws/procedures-hopefully he will learn what can/can't be done within the law. He's ENTIRELY WRONG.
I'd say that Johnny should have a word with Cobb County's Internal Affairs department, but I've done this myself (with other departments) and gotten nowhere. They protect their own.
yea that was ridiculous so he is trying to say that every private parking lot cannot tow if the owner of the car is out there acting like a fool they have to go to court.....like the courts really want to deal with that and like the cops want to come to every private parking lot tow based on a court order.....just pain stupid...Johnny made two great points as well trespass the people sine they are not residents and code enforcement would demand that car is moved of fine the property even though it is a private car on private property and if the property owner said "we are going to court and it will be 5 months from now" codes would be writing a ticket and probably weekly and demanding it was towed
@@tritchie6272 absolutely especially because it seemed the car had been there for months Johnny said they were just using the place as junk storage probably because they would get a ticket or towed where they live.....once Johnny said that I would have said officers I want them trespassed ASAP NOW!
Haha I've done more impounds than you've had calls!!! That's a bombshell I watched this video 3 times and it's so funny!!! hearing Johhny school that cop is priceless... Go Johnny go Johnny go Johnny!!! I will never forget this video and I'm Gunna watch it again. I can't get enough that is great stuff mate. Stay safe
What a shame that the cops there don't know the law. It's embarrassing for them. The manager will need to straighten things out with local enforcement authorities so you can do your job. Thanks for the video. It is very informative. As always, you handle things well.
Johnny, I remember a few videos ago when you even showed the code. You should print that out and laminate it and carry it for when you encounter things like that. You could even educate the cops when they show up. Stay safe.
Definitely a terrific idea!! Then if the cops don't understand anything on what the document says about the code then they should ask Elle Woods from Legally Blonde to help them translate it. Lol 😆
You do not understand; the cops don't care. They just don't. The cops "know" what they "know" and are not going to listen to anyone outside the thin blue line gang. Watch some 1st Amendment Audits...
It's not that great of an idea, Johnny has more than enough work to do looking out for his own safety & doing the job he knows best at. It's not his job to train some rookie cop, who probably wasn't paying attention that day in his training class & was more than likely goofing off on a cellphone, rather than paying attention. Unless the Township/City/County/State is going to pay him for his educative services, & time taken away from doing his duties....then sure, great idea if he's gonna be compensated for it.
Many years ago when I lived in a mobile home park we had to keep all vehicles running, up to date inspected, and up to date registration. We were warned when our cars were out of date and given 10 days to update it. After that it got towed. I was told it was because they were considered fire hazards and they don't want their trailer park looking like junk yards.
I like how the cop said "I can't force him to release his vehicle to be towed." Well you're not forcing him to release the vehicle, it's a NON-CONSENTUAL tow. The property owner doesn't need the consent of the vehicle owner to tow the vehicle. What an idiot cop.
Definitely sad….and some are also too quick to throw the cuffs on when ignorant of the law, and unwilling to take them off out of pride when they’re wrong!
Actually they sided properly. It is a civil issue and everyone has a constitutional right to their own property. The property manager has a right to ask for it to be towed but the vehicle owner has every right to prevent it from being stolen by petty tyrants.
@@CeeWorld69 no, not even once. I just have a different opinion on the matter than all the sheep that circle jerk each other in these comments. The only time someone did try to tow me I sued the apartment complex successfully. It was a civil matter and the lease makes the lot/unit/reasonable amount of parking space my psuedo property. At least in Texas that is. I've also known a ton of tow drivers personally and it's a scam. Look how this operator drools all over himself and will even argue with police just to get a tow. This guy litteraly gets off on "yanking" peoples property. If you don't see a problem with that and the self flagellation for the rules present in these video and these comments then you clearly don't understand property rights and would probably shoot up experimental cocktails just bc the government told you its good. Would you jump off of a bridge or stab your neighbor is it was a rule/law/ordinance/written on a piece of paper? The milford experiments and your comment show that you probably would. Doesn't that make you the angry old white lady screeching bc the rules weren't followed? Way to call yourself out as the true Karen there buddy. 😂
I hope there's a follow up on this one. Wow, it was REALLY hard to miss the conceited attitude coming from that cop. He made up his mind that he was right, before you even finished your side. IMO, if he would have handled that with a better attitude, right or wrong, it wouldn't have left such a bad impression. I think SOME cops need to work on their "car-side" manner, in these times we're living in. As per usual, YOU were completely professional! 💯!
This happened to me when someone tried to blocked the driveway to our hay field. First cop was not going to do anything, we called for his boss to come out and the first cop was wrong!!!😄😄
In the cop's defense though, this is one of the times Johnny's communication slipped up. He repeated himself, then demanded a sergeant, which happens to be the entitlement routine cops hear 2-3 times a week every week. As a result "We back our colleagues and don't change our mind if they go entitled" becomes an embedded routine. It would've been easier to simply start the tow, wait for the guy to attack and then you've got something no sane cop will stay absent from.
What a headache of a situation with you, the manager and good job backing that manager up. I agree 100% with what you said. It’s sad that the officers did not know the law on this and they need some retraining. On that vehicle you towed the owner could have park that vehicle in the driveway next to that other vehicle and not in the dirt.
Your video Johnny will hopefully go a long way in informing Cobb County Law enforcement of their need to retrain on this matter. Great video! Stay Safe and God bless!
Pisses me off that the cop clearly doesn't know the law. I hope the cop-shop will use this as a training video to educate their cops. Private property can make their own laws & law enforcement are supposed to enforce the law. Johnny, you were very professional in dealing with that entitled asshat. Good on you.
Must be frustrating for all involved. I'd hate to live next door to someone with a junker car that the management couldn't remove. Wow. Keep safe out there.
No shit, the cops can never recommend a trespass. That has be requested by the property manager. If the manager was willing to do it, then he would have to leave or be arrested. BUT if the guy CLAIMED to be living there, it becomes a massive mess as tenant laws come into effect. I think that's why the manager is smart NOT to request a trespass.
@@ApexSolutionsLLC because it's private property. If it was public, like a courthouse or something, that's different. Are you trying to tell me a stranger could walk into your house and you call the cops and say, ope too bad, he's fine?
@@superbeeblaze The man's daughter, who is the paying tenant, is allowing her father to be at the house. Under what authority would the property management company be allowed to tell her she can't do that?
Great job. Your right about her right to tow. Cops are right about the civil case law... but the car was not legal with expired tags and the property Mgr wanted it gone so they should back you up. If you go back and sneak it out the cops will tell the car owner the same thing though, "tough it's a civil matter" just like they did you, they're afraid of law suits. Go get em Johnny! Great stuff
Car is on leased land, manager can't have it removed. It was parked in a parking space that's different but it's not it's sitting on the land that's under contract. I can have my vehicle on my property with expired tags and nothing can be done about it.
@@officialtroncasecalculator6184 A land owner can remove any illegal car on their property and their manager can act in their behalf with land owners permission. Yes some rental contracts can differ but he was a visitor so no contract, and his car has been sitting dormant for months on their property. A renter doesn't own the land so it depends on any legal contract they may have with the landlord as far as parking their own car or visitors. Yes You can keep unregistered cars on your own property like you said.
Your videos have gotten noticeably better recently. Not to say that they weren't great before, but I assume you've just improved with experience. Love those drone views of Atlanta.
God bless. Happy to see the full length upload. Thought I missed the memo and April Fools Day came early. Loving the green truck. Stay safe out there Johnny. Keeping you and yours in my prayers.
I owned and managed hundreds of units. Never had a problem towing. People would try to sue us, but NEVER won in court. That is why I know you are correct. 👍🏻Why law enforcement is being so careful, I can only surmise. Sign of the times🤷🏻♀️
Johnny I give you credit for being professional it is sad when police become part of the problem and use the BS line of we can't get involved. The officers more less said anyone can park a car on private property and the property owner cant have the vehicle towed. I did find it interesting how the officers were ok with someone driving a car that isn't street legal. Crap like this is the reason people lose respect for police
“POLice” are used to enforce POLitical POLicy. They POLarize the public to help facilitate control of the ruling class. They aren’t a group of concerned citizens taking care of their community, even if some claim so. It’s impossible to be altruistic and work for ANY government. “Govern” means “control” and “ment” means “mental/mind.” Government LITERALLY MEANS MIND CONTROL. They’re armed enforcers of man-made laws, created to keep people under control. That’s it.
Lmao when you first told the officer that he is wrong and to get his supervisor,, The managers face is priceless!! He looked like he wanted to clap and cheer that you were giving it to the officer.
You got some weird laws over there.....and the "private property" law, seem to be one of those laws..... interpreted in many ways - obviously !!! Take care Johnny - and stay safe !!
I do the same exact towing in Virginia and we have "code enforcement officers" that are above the police and they write the citations as well as authorize the removal of said vehicles. Stay safe ⛓️ Chain Gang ⛓️
Wow. The officers were so set in their beliefs that they wouldn't even make a call to Code Enforcement or another officer that has experience with PP towing. Chips with egos are the most dangerous. I hope the manager makes a complaint against him. Peace!! ✌️
@@Digitalgems9000 Honestly, i would still prefer to live in a country where it is still not needed to have gated communities to feel safe. Sometimes i wonder if the fences around a trailer park is to keep strangers out....Or .... :)
A view from the UK. Johnno, is there any way you could follow up these incidents? Like how they resolved themselves. I know it's a big ask but maybe the next time you talk to the managers you can ask them. I'd love to know what happened with this one.
You're right. The manager can decide what to tow. What the officer is saying is that it is a civil issue. They cannot get involved. If you try to tow it and a fight breaks out then they can get involved. The officers are not telling her what she can and can't tow. I am a police officer and we have no authority to make either party do anything. All that officer is saying is you can do your job and they can try and stop you. That's everyone's right. But law enforcement cannot get involved unless there is a crime. We cannot enforce or take action on civil matters. It violates people's rights. Law enforcement does not enforce private property "rules". Only statutes and laws. Hope that helps. Love your channel. Watch it almost every day.
SO-according to that officer I can take MY car, park it on the officer's property and the officer CANNOT legally have it towed off his property? Sorry, that's not how it works.
Your comment is not analogous with what happened in the video. The cops are saying the leasee and legal resident of the property is allowing the man to have his vehicle on their property. The manager is saying otherwise. It's not a criminal matter, it's a civil matter, meaning there's no criminal law to enforce. The cop was right. They cannot force the owner of the vehicle to relinquish it since they are allowed to be there by the resident.
The sergeant should have checked the law before arriving on scene. If not, he should have at least checked after arriving on scene. No one is asking him to authorize the tow, they are asking him to subdue the possible violence involved. If the cop's contention is that it's a civil matter, he should understand that the manager can tow unauthorized vehicles from his property and if the manager cause the vehicle to be unlawfully towed, it remain a civil matter.
Sometimes the best thing to do, when the law fails you, is move along, don’t waste time, and get on towing. There are more cars waiting to get towed. Let the less informed work it out. When they need ya, they’ll holler. Stay safe and stay vigilant! Thank you for all you do, Johnny! God bless!!
You were right, Johnny, and the cop was wrong. I was glad to see you handled the situation professionally, though, and left them to sort it out. I'm guessing the property manager will be having a chat to someone higher up the police department ladder, in order to have this resolved.
They should just wait a couple of hours and send in the snatch truck. Would not take more than a few seconds to get it hooked and in the air, and then, if the owner came out, he would be able to do nothing, as the car was already loaded.
His daughter can be evicted for breach of lease. If she owns the trailer she would be evicted from living there and given a set amount of time to either sell it to a park approved buyer or remove the home.
Sir. You do a very Difficult job with style and integrity. Thank you. As a person who had to deal with handycap cheating, and those dummies, you do an important job. Thanks again.
Credit as always to Johnny, who owned this situation from the start. This clearly demonstrates that the code violation on the property in this instance was allowed because the police officers did not understand the law.
This was a big thing in the U.K. until SORN. Statutory Off The Road Notice is like a ‘not a license plate’ where the motor vehicle is still in the system. If it is off highway without Road Tax or SORN it’s dragged away to be crushed. It covers motorbikes illegal wheeling as well.
Goodness gracious! The Sgt should have known better. It's a shame when the police don't want to get involved and/or let you do your job. 😒 Some days aren't as good as others. All you can do is keep going. Stay safe and God bless you and yours.
I've watched several of these videos, and I am truly amazed that the police are not called more often because somebody thinks they're not supposed to be towed!
Property manager should have a lawer contact that sheriffs office and fill them in on the towing laws and how private property works. Awesome job and staying calm and standing your ground.
Love the truck man. First time ive seen the front of it. And those cops must be new. Love how you told them the law when they suppose to be enforcing it and apparently they dont know it.
Yeah this is what I'm talking about, I thought Johnny was clowning around with the 2 min video. Thanks for the real video and stay safe out there brother!
Cop is confused, and the other cop likely taught him inaccurate police duties and interpretation of the law. Police responsibility here is to maintain public order by allowing the proper authority to tow the car. The property manager is the authority and has the right to enforce the association rules. Private residence living in a community agree to abide by the HOA rules and regulations. Furthermore, the police lecture about ‘civil matter’ should have been conveyed to the car owner as recourse to redress the matter with the courts.
@@pontificusvascillious5287 Cite law enforcement “statute”? What in the world are you trying to say?

That officer needs to have someone school him on towing laws/procedures-hopefully he will learn what can/can't be done within the law. He's ENTIRELY WRONG.
I'd say that Johnny should have a word with Cobb County's Internal Affairs department, but I've done this myself (with other departments) and gotten nowhere. They protect their own.
yea that was ridiculous so he is trying to say that every private parking lot cannot tow if the owner of the car is out there acting like a fool they have to go to court.....like the courts really want to deal with that and like the cops want to come to every private parking lot tow based on a court order.....just pain stupid...Johnny made two great points as well trespass the people sine they are not residents and code enforcement would demand that car is moved of fine the property even though it is a private car on private property and if the property owner said "we are going to court and it will be 5 months from now" codes would be writing a ticket and probably weekly and demanding it was towed
@@rodrod383 If I was the manager I would probably have been tempted to trespass him.
@@tritchie6272 absolutely especially because it seemed the car had been there for months Johnny said they were just using the place as junk storage probably because they would get a ticket or towed where they live.....once Johnny said that I would have said officers I want them trespassed ASAP NOW!
What law? The cops can enforce a trespass, they can't physically restrain the guy. Manager has to trespass the guy.
Haha I've done more impounds than you've had calls!!! That's a bombshell I watched this video 3 times and it's so funny!!! hearing Johhny school that cop is priceless... Go Johnny go Johnny go Johnny!!! I will never forget this video and I'm Gunna watch it again. I can't get enough that is great stuff mate. Stay safe
What a shame that the cops there don't know the law. It's embarrassing for them. The manager will need to straighten things out with local enforcement authorities so you can do your job. Thanks for the video. It is very informative. As always, you handle things well.
Rookie
They just don't want to have to do the paperwork
Absolutely right Johnny... code enforcement!!! Way to stand your ground. Be safe as always brother. ✌️
Johnny, I remember a few videos ago when you even showed the code. You should print that out and laminate it and carry it for when you encounter things like that. You could even educate the cops when they show up. Stay safe.
Great idea!
That's is an awesome idea!!!
Definitely a terrific idea!! Then if the cops don't understand anything on what the document says about the code then they should ask Elle Woods from Legally Blonde to help them translate it. Lol 😆
You do not understand; the cops don't care. They just don't. The cops "know" what they "know" and are not going to listen to anyone outside the thin blue line gang. Watch some 1st Amendment Audits...
It's not that great of an idea, Johnny has more than enough work to do looking out for his own safety & doing the job he knows best at. It's not his job to train some rookie cop, who probably wasn't paying attention that day in his training class & was more than likely goofing off on a cellphone, rather than paying attention. Unless the Township/City/County/State is going to pay him for his educative services, & time taken away from doing his duties....then sure, great idea if he's gonna be compensated for it.
Many years ago when I lived in a mobile home park we had to keep all vehicles running, up to date inspected, and up to date registration. We were warned when our cars were out of date and given 10 days to update it. After that it got towed. I was told it was because they were considered fire hazards and they don't want their trailer park looking like junk yards.
I like how the cop said "I can't force him to release his vehicle to be towed." Well you're not forcing him to release the vehicle, it's a NON-CONSENTUAL tow. The property owner doesn't need the consent of the vehicle owner to tow the vehicle. What an idiot cop.
if the property has rules & he doesn't wish to follow, tell him to drag his trailer off to another park.
Lots of them around!
Not only the police officer but his sargeant. Keystone cops ride again.
@@makeitpay8241 They are renting the "trailer".
Trailer park in USA is not the same as in rest of the world.
@@dubious6718 depends on the park. Some, most in my experience/area, you rent the lot & own the trailer, but some do just rent trailer and lot.
I love how the old guy in the brown coat stood so still while the manager was talking. He was mesmerized by her.
Sad those police don’t know their jobs. Thank you for the full length upload. Peace!
Definitely sad….and some are also too quick to throw the cuffs on when ignorant of the law, and unwilling to take them off out of pride when they’re wrong!
@@jonnyonwheels exactly, they’re literally thugs with government backing to break the law
Actually they sided properly. It is a civil issue and everyone has a constitutional right to their own property. The property manager has a right to ask for it to be towed but the vehicle owner has every right to prevent it from being stolen by petty tyrants.
@@CapitanGreenhat Who hurt you Karen? They towed you huh?
@@CeeWorld69 no, not even once. I just have a different opinion on the matter than all the sheep that circle jerk each other in these comments. The only time someone did try to tow me I sued the apartment complex successfully. It was a civil matter and the lease makes the lot/unit/reasonable amount of parking space my psuedo property. At least in Texas that is. I've also known a ton of tow drivers personally and it's a scam. Look how this operator drools all over himself and will even argue with police just to get a tow. This guy litteraly gets off on "yanking" peoples property. If you don't see a problem with that and the self flagellation for the rules present in these video and these comments then you clearly don't understand property rights and would probably shoot up experimental cocktails just bc the government told you its good. Would you jump off of a bridge or stab your neighbor is it was a rule/law/ordinance/written on a piece of paper? The milford experiments and your comment show that you probably would. Doesn't that make you the angry old white lady screeching bc the rules weren't followed? Way to call yourself out as the true Karen there buddy. 😂
That’s great you’re standing up for the customer. 👏🏽
Omg another cop who doesnt wanna do his job! Wtf
Lazy, stupid, arrogant, under qualified for his job.
Johnny and the Green MACK is a sick combo.
I would love to see an update on that tenant! It’s so frustrating when law enforcement are just not educated on these kind of situations!!
Dude Johnny is the man. Arguing with the officer was legit. Johnny knows the law better than the rookie.
Blew me away, that’s the first time I’ve personally seen that happen. Good on you for backing her up and knowing the laws
You handled yourself nicely. I wish the cops knew more about code enforcement
I hope there's a follow up on this one. Wow, it was REALLY hard to miss the conceited attitude coming from that cop. He made up his mind that he was right, before you even finished your side. IMO, if he would have handled that with a better attitude, right or wrong, it wouldn't have left such a bad impression. I think SOME cops need to work on their "car-side" manner, in these times we're living in.
As per usual, YOU were completely professional! 💯!
This happened to me when someone tried to blocked the driveway to our hay field. First cop was not going to do anything, we called for his boss to come out and the first cop was wrong!!!😄😄
Some people have no business being cops.
In the cop's defense though, this is one of the times Johnny's communication slipped up. He repeated himself, then demanded a sergeant, which happens to be the entitlement routine cops hear 2-3 times a week every week. As a result "We back our colleagues and don't change our mind if they go entitled" becomes an embedded routine.
It would've been easier to simply start the tow, wait for the guy to attack and then you've got something no sane cop will stay absent from.
What a headache of a situation with you, the manager and good job backing that manager up. I agree 100% with what you said. It’s sad that the officers did not know the law on this and they need some retraining. On that vehicle you towed the owner could have park that vehicle in the driveway next to that other vehicle and not in the dirt.
Damn bro, that poor cop got annihilated lol. had him scrambling for a sgt
Sadly the seargent was just as lazy and uninformed as the cop.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz yeah i was like wtf
These guys went to the Jeremy DeWitt school of law
It was pointless. The sgt was useless
@@ABC-ff9gb sadly :(
Your video Johnny will hopefully go a long way in informing Cobb County Law enforcement of their need to retrain on this matter. Great video! Stay Safe and God bless!
Pisses me off that the cop clearly doesn't know the law.
I hope the cop-shop will use this as a training video to educate their cops.
Private property can make their own laws & law enforcement are supposed to enforce the law.
Johnny, you were very professional in dealing with that entitled asshat. Good on you.
Must be frustrating for all involved. I'd hate to live next door to someone with a junker car that the management couldn't remove. Wow. Keep safe out there.
The cop shut up real quick when you told the manager that she could have the guy trespassed from the property.
No shit, the cops can never recommend a trespass. That has be requested by the property manager. If the manager was willing to do it, then he would have to leave or be arrested. BUT if the guy CLAIMED to be living there, it becomes a massive mess as tenant laws come into effect. I think that's why the manager is smart NOT to request a trespass.
Why would the police trespass the guy from the property? Under what authority? These comments in here are baffling.
@@ApexSolutionsLLC because it's private property. If it was public, like a courthouse or something, that's different. Are you trying to tell me a stranger could walk into your house and you call the cops and say, ope too bad, he's fine?
@@superbeeblaze The man's daughter, who is the paying tenant, is allowing her father to be at the house. Under what authority would the property management company be allowed to tell her she can't do that?
@@ApexSolutionsLLC Tennant. Not owner. It's probably all in the contract.
Never fear Johnny Cool is here...
Always fair and knows the laws of towing better than the police...Keep trucking Johnny and God Bless.
Great job. Your right about her right to tow. Cops are right about the civil case law... but the car was not legal with expired tags and the property Mgr wanted it gone so they should back you up. If you go back and sneak it out the cops will tell the car owner the same thing though, "tough it's a civil matter" just like they did you, they're afraid of law suits. Go get em Johnny! Great stuff
Too bad that 97% of the commenters don't realize this. They would much rather see the cops pepper spray the guy.
Car is on leased land, manager can't have it removed. It was parked in a parking space that's different but it's not it's sitting on the land that's under contract. I can have my vehicle on my property with expired tags and nothing can be done about it.
@@officialtroncasecalculator6184 A land owner can remove any illegal car on their property and their manager can act in their behalf with land owners permission. Yes some rental contracts can differ but he was a visitor so no contract, and his car has been sitting dormant for months on their property. A renter doesn't own the land so it depends on any legal contract they may have with the landlord as far as parking their own car or visitors. Yes You can keep unregistered cars on your own property like you said.
I cant stop watching these videos, Johnny's a good dude!!!
Your videos have gotten noticeably better recently. Not to say that they weren't great before, but I assume you've just improved with experience.
Love those drone views of Atlanta.
They should put a sign.. any unauthorized vehicles will be towed. Maybe that'll help.
God bless. Happy to see the full length upload. Thought I missed the memo and April Fools Day came early. Loving the green truck. Stay safe out there Johnny. Keeping you and yours in my prayers.
I owned and managed hundreds of units. Never had a problem towing. People would try to sue us, but NEVER won in court. That is why I know you are correct. 👍🏻Why law enforcement is being so careful, I can only surmise. Sign of the times🤷🏻♀️
Johnny I give you credit for being professional it is sad when police become part of the problem and use the BS line of we can't get involved.
The officers more less said anyone can park a car on private property and the property owner cant have the vehicle towed.
I did find it interesting how the officers were ok with someone driving a car that isn't street legal.
Crap like this is the reason people lose respect for police
“POLice” are used to enforce POLitical POLicy. They POLarize the public to help facilitate control of the ruling class. They aren’t a group of concerned citizens taking care of their community, even if some claim so. It’s impossible to be altruistic and work for ANY government. “Govern” means “control” and “ment” means “mental/mind.” Government LITERALLY MEANS MIND CONTROL.
They’re armed enforcers of man-made laws, created to keep people under control. That’s it.
Lmao when you first told the officer that he is wrong and to get his supervisor,, The managers face is priceless!! He looked like he wanted to clap and cheer that you were giving it to the officer.
Wow Johnny, what a mess! That cop was a total idiot! You handled the situation very professional! God Bless and stay safe!✌
I like the look of your Mack Truck. Stay safe.
Now that's the content we love. Thanks for another great video.
That is a very nice trailer park! Beats the ones around my neighborhood for sure.
You got some weird laws over there.....and the "private property" law, seem to be one of those laws..... interpreted in many ways - obviously !!!
Take care Johnny - and stay safe !!
Johnny you have a great place to eat close to the trailer park. Turner's BBQ has delicious breakfast and lunch and always great service. Be safe.
It's beyond infuriating when police are ignorant of the law 🤦
I do the same exact towing in Virginia and we have "code enforcement officers" that are above the police and they write the citations as well as authorize the removal of said vehicles. Stay safe
⛓️ Chain Gang ⛓️
Wow. The officers were so set in their beliefs that they wouldn't even make a call to Code Enforcement or another officer that has experience with PP towing. Chips with egos are the most dangerous. I hope the manager makes a complaint against him. Peace!! ✌️
I sensed your frustration when those officers didn’t know the law regarding towing on private property. You handled it very well.
The cleanest mobile home park I've ever seen in my life LOL
Mobile home park, with it's own gates, and security officers.
Amazing. :)
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz makes me want to move into one tbh lol
@@Digitalgems9000 Honestly, i would still prefer to live in a country where it is still not needed to have gated communities to feel safe.
Sometimes i wonder if the fences around a trailer park is to keep strangers out....Or .... :)
Yea really
I have never seen a “gated” trailer park before! That is nuts!!!!
I feel for ya Johnny. Some cops think they know all the laws.
You have more sunglasses than Garfield from Parking Wars. 😂
A view from the UK. Johnno, is there any way you could follow up these incidents? Like how they resolved themselves. I know it's a big ask but maybe the next time you talk to the managers you can ask them. I'd love to know what happened with this one.
You need to pack up if you're in UK
@@brandonbell6171 Errrr, pack up what exactly, sunbathing?
@@robertstancer4469 yea OK
Thank you, Johnny. You are a great way to start the morning 🌄
First vehicle is a Towyota.
This has honestly become one of my favorite channels very quickly, you handle yourself like a real professional much respect
Johnny God bless you for your passion and patience
Wow you are great at what you do. I hope your company realizes how fortunate they are to have you working for them.
You're right. The manager can decide what to tow. What the officer is saying is that it is a civil issue. They cannot get involved. If you try to tow it and a fight breaks out then they can get involved. The officers are not telling her what she can and can't tow. I am a police officer and we have no authority to make either party do anything. All that officer is saying is you can do your job and they can try and stop you. That's everyone's right. But law enforcement cannot get involved unless there is a crime. We cannot enforce or take action on civil matters. It violates people's rights. Law enforcement does not enforce private property "rules". Only statutes and laws. Hope that helps. Love your channel. Watch it almost every day.
SO-according to that officer I can take MY car, park it on the officer's property and the officer CANNOT legally have it towed off his property? Sorry, that's not how it works.
Exactly, they are so dumb.
100%
I'd pay money to see someone try that on THAT cop and watch the dim light bulb above his head go on 🤣
Your comment is not analogous with what happened in the video. The cops are saying the leasee and legal resident of the property is allowing the man to have his vehicle on their property. The manager is saying otherwise. It's not a criminal matter, it's a civil matter, meaning there's no criminal law to enforce.
The cop was right. They cannot force the owner of the vehicle to relinquish it since they are allowed to be there by the resident.
All type of people right Johnny. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks for another terrific video! Stay safe and stay healthy!
Love the green truck!! Beautiful!! Sad when a officer doesn't know how to do his job
Man you have nerves of steel. I don't think I could argue or fuss with people. Keep up the good work.
Smart butts Know it all.
The sergeant should have checked the law before arriving on scene. If not, he should have at least checked after arriving on scene. No one is asking him to authorize the tow, they are asking him to subdue the possible violence involved.
If the cop's contention is that it's a civil matter, he should understand that the manager can tow unauthorized vehicles from his property and if the manager cause the vehicle to be unlawfully towed, it remain a civil matter.
Thanks for loading the rest! Yea, you deal with this on a daily basis, I bet those cops learn a lesson on this one!
Sometimes the best thing to do, when the law fails you, is move along, don’t waste time, and get on towing. There are more cars waiting to get towed. Let the less informed work it out. When they need ya, they’ll holler. Stay safe and stay vigilant! Thank you for all you do, Johnny! God bless!!
You were right, Johnny, and the cop was wrong. I was glad to see you handled the situation professionally, though, and left them to sort it out. I'm guessing the property manager will be having a chat to someone higher up the police department ladder, in order to have this resolved.
They should just wait a couple of hours and send in the snatch truck.
Would not take more than a few seconds to get it hooked and in the air, and then, if the owner came out, he would be able to do nothing, as the car was already loaded.
Johnny you were correct on the law, cops need more training, God bless you and your family
Johnny Thanks for doing your job in a professional manner. Like others have stated, you have nerves of steel. Have a Safe Day
Unbelievable what folks think they can do. Crazy. Stay safe Johnny.
Good for you for knowing the law! You doing good and educating people! Stay safe! ☮️
Great video brother. Good explanation great footage. God bless Atlanta
That dude pissed off the Manager. That car will be towed soon. Stay safe brother 👍
His daughter can be evicted for breach of lease. If she owns the trailer she would be evicted from living there and given a set amount of time to either sell it to a park approved buyer or remove the home.
Love the new truck, Johnny. Very smart but looks a bit bigger for squeezing into some of those tight spots. Stay safe, Man.
Sir. You do a very Difficult job with style and integrity. Thank you. As a person who had to deal with handycap cheating, and those dummies, you do an important job. Thanks again.
you just provided a great example of being right without being a jerk. much respect. safe travels towtrucker
Credit as always to Johnny, who owned this situation from the start. This clearly demonstrates that the code violation on the property in this instance was allowed because the police officers did not understand the law.
This was a big thing in the U.K. until SORN. Statutory Off The Road Notice is like a ‘not a license plate’ where the motor vehicle is still in the system. If it is off highway without Road Tax or SORN it’s dragged away to be crushed. It covers motorbikes illegal wheeling as well.
Goodness gracious! The Sgt should have known better. It's a shame when the police don't want to get involved and/or let you do your job. 😒 Some days aren't as good as others. All you can do is keep going. Stay safe and God bless you and yours.
I've watched several of these videos, and I am truly amazed that the police are not called more often because somebody thinks they're not supposed to be towed!
Property manager should have a lawer contact that sheriffs office and fill them in on the towing laws and how private property works.
Awesome job and staying calm and standing your ground.
Love the truck man. First time ive seen the front of it. And those cops must be new. Love how you told them the law when they suppose to be enforcing it and apparently they dont know it.
Yeah this is what I'm talking about, I thought Johnny was clowning around with the 2 min video. Thanks for the real video and stay safe out there brother!
Your towing knowledge is amazing. You’re very professional and passionate about your job. Stay safe Johnny
Cop is confused, and the other cop likely taught him inaccurate police duties and interpretation of the law. Police responsibility here is to maintain public order by allowing the proper authority to tow the car.
The property manager is the authority and has the right to enforce the association rules. Private residence living in a community agree to abide by the HOA rules and regulations.
Furthermore, the police lecture about ‘civil matter’ should have been conveyed to the car owner as recourse to redress the matter with the courts.
can you cite the statute where LEOs have this responsibility to the execution of private property rules/regulations?
@@pontificusvascillious5287
Cite law enforcement “statute”? What in the world are you trying to say?
I wrote: “The police responsibility here is to maintain public order by allowing the proper authority to tow the car”. Keywords are “proper authority” which in this case is the property manager. Read my comment again.
Stay you Johnny. God bless your journey and your ministry. Hello from Tennessee.
