Experts warn homeowners associations of perils of using volunteer security patrols

Published March 24, 2012
The killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watchman in Sanford should be a cautionary tale for homeowners associations, experts say.
The circumstances -- a volunteer watchman carrying a gun, and questions over whether he did enough to avoid shooting the unarmed teenager -- could put the homeowners association where the incident took place in legal hot water.
And in many cases like this one, the residents don't know they could be liable until a tragedy occurs, when they find out that their homeowners association only carries insurance for directors and board officers, not volunteers who patrol streets or maintain common areas.
"There are ripple effects on everybody in a community," said Donna DiMaggio Berger, a managing partner with the statewide law firm of Katzman Garfinkel & Berger, which represents more than 2,000 homeowners associations. If volunteers take matters into their own hands, "the association is going to get sued."
According to reports, George Zimmerman, 28, called police from his car after noticing Martin walking through the neighborhood. Later in the call, Zimmerman said the teenager was running away. The dispatcher advised Zimmerman not to follow and said that an officer was on the way. Minutes later, Martin was killed by a bullet to the chest, which Zimmerman said he fired in self-defense.
Martin's family has not sued the Retreat at Twin Lakes, where the shooting took place and Zimmerman was the captain of the neighborhood watch.
Berger said if the association knew Zimmerman regularly carried a weapon while on volunteer patrol, that could provide Martin's family with further ammunition in a lawsuit. She also advised that using professional security guards or law enforcement officers can help avoid these types of legal entanglements.
"If you have safety and security issues, don't hire a citizens brigade," she said.
Associations should learn the backgrounds of volunteers and check with insurance carriers to determine whether more coverage is needed, Berger added.
Safety is a selling point that draws buyers to certain neighborhoods. As the foreclosure aftermath flooded streets with empty houses, homeowner associations found smaller budgets to maintain services. Instead of paying outside firms, many now marshal volunteers for landscaping, maintenance and security.
Tampa-based Rizzetta & Co. manages more than 100 community associations with 32,000 homes in Florida. President William Rizzetta said some HOA board members often don't consult with law enforcement agencies or attorneys when problems arise.
"We always caution our boards about taking matters into their own hands," he said. "We fight that all the time."
Bob Schumaker, an attorney with Trenam Kemker in St. Petersburg, said neighborhood watches serve a vital role in housing developments. But leaders of the groups need to be explicit when instructing volunteers about their roles.
"Residents are not allowed to take action against someone else," he said. "They should just call the police quickly. Anything else is bordering on vigilantism."
Developer accused of mortgage fraud

MONTVERDE -- When comedian Chris Tucker's mansion was foreclosed on last year in the upscale Bella Collina development in Montverde, he had complained the value of the home was inflated when he bought it.
Now, a Florida law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against the former developer, alleging it "engaged in a massive real estate and mortgage fraud involving fraudulent real estate appraisals throughout Florida."
The lawsuit by Gilman Law LLP names affiliates, Ginn Development, Ginn Title, The Ginn Company, Ginn & Co., Lubert-Adler, LP, and other alleged co-conspirators as defendants. The complaint was filed March 12 in the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in Collier County.
According to the lawsuit, the alleged fraud consisted of false representations, deceptively created impressions of false values, artificially created scarce supply of properties and memberships, and artificially high demand based upon fake illusory real estate sales. The lawsuit accuses defendants Lubert-Adler Partners and Bobby Ginn of forming joint venture partnerships and defrauding investors and purchasers at 10 properties in Florida, including Bella Collina, 15920 County Road 455.
"We are seeking to recover the losses of such persons and entities related to the Ginn properties," stated Kenneth Gilman, managing partner of Gilman Law LLP of Bonita Springs.
The suit alleges that defendants used mails and wires to induce class members to purchase at fraudulently inflated prices, violated the Florida Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and provided kickbacks to Ginn employees and bank employees to sell and finance properties at values artificially inflated from 2004 through 2009.
Ginn Development Company, founded in 1998 and based in Davenport, could not be reached for comment. Bella Collina general manager Jerry Thompson had no comment on the lawsuit, saying he had no knowledge of Ginn Development.
The company apparently has no connection anymore with Bella Collina, 1,900-acre community on the western shores of Lake Apopka that was supposed to feature 800 homes. While more than 700 lots were sold between 2004 and 2007, only about 40 were ever developed into homes.
One of these was Tucker's 10,000-square-foot mansion he bought in 2007 for $6 million. He was forced to sell the five-bedroom home because he still owed $4.4 million on it to SunBank. The property was appraised last year at $1.6 million.

LIAR!
I looked up this word in the dictionary and found;
Barack Hussein Obama
Big surprise.
Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S. President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.
Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S. President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.
Consider this:
1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.
A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.
2 Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.
3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

4. A senior lecturer is one thing, a fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago .
5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.
6. "He did not hold the title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

7. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S. Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence ... not the Constitution.
8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/
9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.
10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there, Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion! Our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:
'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.'
11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech?

Your political opinions can not change this one!!!
When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help, Become one of the One hundred million, then lets get 200 million. It can be done by sending this e-mail to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a willing heart and a fed up soul. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her..
In
1952
President Truman
established one day a year as a
" National Day of Prayer ."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In
1988
President Reagan
designated the
First Thursday in May of each year as
the National Day of Prayer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In June
2007
(then)
Presidential
Candidate Barack Obama
declared that the USA
"Was no longer a
Christian nation."
---------------------------------------------------------------
This year
President Obama
canceled the
21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremony
at the White
House under the ruse
Of "not wanting to offend anyone"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT... on September 25, 2009
from 4 AM until 7 PM,
a National Day of Prayer
FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION
was Held on Capitol Hill,
Beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims
in D.C. that day.
HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS!
I guess it Doesn't matter
if "Christians"
Are offended by this event -
We obviously
Don 't count as
"anyone" Anymore.
The direction this country is headed
should strike fear in the heart of every Christian,
especially knowing that the
Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be
converted, they should be annihilated.
This is not a Rumor -
Go to the website
To confirm this info:
Send this to ten people
and the person who
sent it to you!...
to let them know that
indeed, it was sent
out to many more.
: A Man and his sixteen dogs - amazing
This man takes his 16 dogs out for a bike ride and swim in a river every day.
Observe how well trained they are and how much they love him.
By the time they return home, they are exhausted and ready for a good rest..........
