Now, lets see the licensed scumbag contractors. "Unscrupulous contractors" as you describe, is hopefully in that bag. A piece of paper does not qualify you to do crap as seen everywhere.
Man i bet they state just normal people trying to help and to make some money. Nit sven is a theft. I bet 5% of them were maybe bad. There is so much damage that the licensed people can't do all the work quick. Im not a certified mechanic but bet your a** i can take your motor out and put it back in. Idk about this one.

Panama City here!! Get em boys!!! They ripped off so many people here it’s not even funny. And keep an eye on the city commissioners and people like that too and even the mayor. We had a FBI investigation here because of it
Im a Sarasota resident and thank you for what you do for the good people of Clearwater and Pinellas.Those fake contractors are doing same to us in Sarasota.
@@christina-h1mall contractors are pos. Hire a trusted craftsmen, handy or direct to the trade. A contractor is a handy man taking a huge cut for connecting dots. Never hire out of town workers either they are all scammers.
Maybe they should also go after all the illegal efficiency apartments everywhere. They are ruining communities with all the crime they bring. Not paying taxes,using homestead exemptions but not living there...
This is stupid, if they steal or do bad work then prosecute them. Just because someone isn't licensed doesn't mean they are not well intentioned or can't do the work.

Those unlicensed should move to the wild, wild west of Texas where license is not required on constructions. You can build it all wrong, and it's okay.
A lot of licensed contractors rip people off and get away with it because they have a license, I worked for years as unlicensed in Florida all on my reputation as a very good tile setter I had integrity and did my work as unto God I really didn't make a lot of money but I did a good job, I have seen licensed contractors hire terrible tile setters who did horrible jobs and they got away with it. The codes don't make a house any better they still fall down in a storm, roofers still screw up even though they have a license
I've had several so-called companies call me randomly, mainly roofers saying they'll come out & inspect my roof! I told them don't need them & to quit scamming people!
The United States of America the country of licenses you’re forced to get a license no matter what you do. I know people who work without licenses that have so much experience and do such great work everything we do in this country is monitored. We don’t live in a free country at all.
In my area after Isabel came through there was a guy riding around getting deposits for people that did not have a licence, did not even own a truck, a single employee or piece of equipment. He ripped people off for thousand !
Hello. I am an acquaintance of one of the contractors. You arrested a person who decided to help replace a drywall wall, and you arrested him right after he quoted the price for the work. This person has been doing apartment renovations in his home country for over five years and is a professional in this field. I've seen the quality of renovations in the U.S. from licensed workers with over 15 years of experience, and the walls in barns are better than what these "l The point of this meeting is to create the appearance of work. Instead of going after real criminals, you introduce a licensing system and, after just five months, start arresting people. It’s laughable. Very laughable. Drug trafficking, constant drunk driving-that can wait because apparently, the really important criminals are those who repair walls.
Like I said before, I DON’T take into consideration what party they belong to. I am saying that someone needs to take a look at WHY these criminals are allowed over and over again to walk the streets and continue to do over and over again the same crimes if not worse. Think about how you would feel if you were a victim of a crime that the offender was charged with these same crimes before? What if you lost a family member due to a DUI offender that had been charged for the same crime before. How would you feel if you had a child violated by a previously convicted child abuser who is now out of jail and doing it again. I think people need to put themselves in the life’s of the victim’s who have been victimized by a repeat offender. What would you have to say?
Way over reach here by the police. Arresting someone for doing electrical work not drywall. That's on the owner and their choice who they have work for them.
Just like every air conditioner company all the employees work under 1 license same thing is happening with contractors selling their license to people that aren’t going to do the work they don’t care because they’re retired
The biggest detriment to the recovery and rebuild after the Hurricane's reside in Tallahassee. The FL GOP Legislator and Governor Napoleon Complex sold out our state in trade for big campaign donations 3 years ago. FL is one of the most legislatively friendly state's for insurance companies to do business in. Thanks to the FL GOP for the following: Homeowners and auto owners can not take legal action against an insurance company for not paying or underpaying for a period of one full year after claim. Contractors are not allowed to complete work to repair damage in the immediate aftermath and bill the insurance companies directly (this slows down the repair process dramatically.) The state's largest insurer (Citizens) is instituting mandatory flood insurance for all insured beginning in 2023 thru 2026 - this will be mirrored by private insurance companies to increase the policy rates even to costumers that are on high ground that drains well. The arrests for fraud should begin in Tallahassee.
Thank you for proving this county has no free market!!!! The corporations will jack up the prices for services backed by government agents, but "unlicensed" workers who didn't ask for permission from the government are arrested. Does Florida not live in a fascist state??? 😂😂😂
And can't show that anybody injured lisses or damage from these 40 individuals that were helping build back after a hurricane. Who is it going to hurt or have hurt if they are unlicensed contractors building? Can you show any fraud or deciept? Sounds more like trying to slow progress so the people just give up and leave the property so big money can come in and develope land people don't want to sell for cheap. If you drive value to nothing and buy cheap you stand to make a lot of money from the communities loss! Big control factor there!
Not all are bad ive heard people have bad experiences with licensed contractors and end up paying way more bc they are licensed its very expensive to get it and to keep it so have to charge much more but doesnt mean you are getting better quality all depends on the person not the license.. some of them were probably just hard working ppl just trying to make it for their kids and now they will be tremendously set back in life
So your helping stupid people with civil matters using tax dollars for civil matters for what reason. If someone wants to hire someone they should be able to. The scams sure when they brake a law sure but to spend time and money for stuff cops shouldn't have to do the person hiring does.
People are allowed to hire who ever they want. This is way over reach it's not up to you it's not part of your job at all. It's on the people who hire them to ask the questions and find out themselves. Cops need to stay out of it. Leave it up to the people. You are not smarter then other humans because you are a cop.

All the comments about scumbags contractors u are the one who hires them because there cheaper
Shouldn’t there be a penalty for the people hiring them also? They obviously knew what they were doing.
If they are illegal immigrants call ice to come and pick them up
There is a y tube video of a business owner who brought his workers from Georgia to work on his house. They need to be arrested.
Is there a list of all the names of those arrested?
