Small debt collection: Is it worth suing?
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Look, I’m really not a fan of people playing vigilante or taking justice into their own hands.
If that con artist you're chasing actually had any backbone, he would’ve just stabbed you or knocked you out, then claimed self-defense because you kicked his door down uninvited. And if he were even half as smart as he thinks he is, he’d just hand you over to the cops on a silver platter with a heavy-duty charge for extortion and kidnapping.
Go around acting like that in the States, and you'll end up with a bullet in your head before you can blink.
That’s just not how this works. Don't go egging people on to do something they'll spend the rest of their lives regretting. This isn't anarchy; we have police, courts, and lawyers for a reason. If everyone decided to settle debts by breaking and entering, the whole country would be pure chaos. Besides, who’s to say that guy won't turn the tables on you one day? You break into his place, humiliate him, and suddenly you're the one getting shanked or shot.
Sure, these guys might be scammers and lowlifes, but people acting like you aren't much better. To bust into someone's house wearing a mask, throw them down the stairs, and tie them up... honestly, you'd have to be tripping or just completely unhinged to think that's okay.
Luckily, most people aren't like that. Most folks handle their business without the threats, the violence, or the home invasions. It's just that small group of criminals and psychos—and we all know what kind of mental state those people are in.
Personally, if I knew anyone out there trying to play hero like that, I’d be the first one calling the cops to shut them down.
