Man Arrested For 14 Years Overdue Movie Rental

He ought to be arrested for renting any movie with Tom Green in it. :D
 
North Carolina has no statute of limitations on Theft, but if they are charging him with fraud or a contractual infraction the statute of limitations is three years so it ran out over ten years ago. If it's that's the case then Mr Meyers should bring a suit against the state for failing to clear their books of expired warrants and go after them for damages.

They should have limitation on minimum debt, if its cost less than legal bs, should have cancelled that debt to protect taxpayers monies. Waste of money and resource over 10 dollars debt? Insane.

Yes, this is government run amok. It has probably already cost NC way more than they will receive, if they even get anything from this heinous crime!
 
You would get arrested for not returning rental car, right? Same concept.

He did not return video, and he asked for it.
 
He had a misdemeanor warrant because of that - Failure to return the movie. Same with library books and things you rented from.
 
I had a misdemeanor warrant for a "unpaid parking ticket" once, the only problem was the ticket had been dismissed by the court when I fought it and won. A call down to the agency handling the parking tickets for the city and about three people later after I tried to get them to come pick me up, because I told them I would own them after they had me arrested got them to put the ticket in the dismissed file.

Problem here is stealing a rental car is grand theft, stealing a video is petty theft at best.

The consequence can not be same, the punishment for not returning video would impact credit score, nothing more, while car can be worth thousands of dollars therefore arresting would be justified but for video, its not justified. Like if u didnt pay credit card, u get spot on ur credit report.
 
There was a case in Florida where homeless man plugged his phone using public power outlet to recharge only to get arrest for stealing half cent worth of power, judge had to throw it away, got furious for wasting thousand dollars on arresting, booking, and judge's time for .25 cent worth of power.

I saw a guy going this once , he parked his car and got out and plugged his phone to a public power outlet to recharge it. I was wondering that was legal .
