Self-described “Star Whacker” targets Randy and Evi Quaid had their subpoena dreams quashed on 7/28 by Judge Colleen Sterne, who ruled that the Sheriff’s Office isn’t required to provide the couple — who fled to Canada and have warrants out for their arrest related to a 2010 squatting incident in Montecito — with documentation related to those arrests. Sterne ruled fugitives of the court can’t request something of the court and that criminal matters must be handled before civil ones. The subpoena arose as part of a lawsuit the Quaids filed in Indiana in April against bail company American Surety, which they say issued $500,000 bonds for each of them without their consent.

They are going to have fun squatting in County Jail when this catches up to them, and they won't be able to skip out on that bill.

Hmm, so banks can print up money out of thin air and loan it out to people at interest, then when the person doesn't make a payment on time, for money that the bank created out of thin air, the bank gets to take the house. When the people stay at the house that they have been paying for, using money that they actually worked for and didn't simply counterfeit like the bank did, they get a million dollars worth of bail thrown at them from the courts.
That's an incredible business model!! Hail to the thieves, right AZ2SB?

Ken, when you have an unjust system or law that puts people in prison, the unjust law or system is then responsible for all of the damage that happens to the victims, the public and the system as a result. If you want to fix a problem, look at the ROOT CAUSE of what is happening.
I just detailed how the big banks are able to steal from people and profit to the tune of trillions of dollars every year, and you are STILL concerned about putting the victims of the banks in prison?!?! That is just a big WTF.
I mean, talk about ignoring the real criminals and being petty.. With that attitude, let's keep enforcing the drug laws against the low-level street gangs here in the US and forget about the fact that the CIA earns money protecting the heroin poppy trade in the Middle East and the cocaine trade from South America that get the drugs here in the first place... Yes, let's allow the CIA to continue profiting from the drug trade, again, trillions of dollars every year and using that money to fund paramilitaries and propaganda campaigns to help unseat democratically elected leaders and governments for those leaders and politicians in favor of western interests and who are also paid off using said drug money.
So if the bank didn't counterfeit money to loan to them to buy a house and then steal the house from them after making monthly mortgage payments and they weren't arrested for squatting, why would they have had to forge anything related to a million dollar bail bond?? The arrest and the bond is a result of the banks having the enforcement class under their thumb.

Banks don't print money, the Treasury Dept. does. And the Federal Reserve tells them to print money out of thin air.

This story has nothing to do with the Middle East, CIA etc. The Quaids (and I admire Randy's talent as an actor) were illegally living on someone else's property.. try sticking to the matter at hand!

"Banks don't print money, the Treasury Dept. does."
Obfuscating.
When I say "print money" I'm not talking about literally printing paper dollars that are in circulation, that is irrelevant, MOST money is electronic these days, it's in your bank account, on your debit/credit car, etc.. so the amount of paper dollars in circulation is completely irrelevant to anything, but nice try.
When I say "print money" I'm talking about how the banks counterfeit money into their computer systems when they make a loan. They don't earn it, it just gets counterfeited into the system and the rest of our money becomes worth less while the banks charge interest on money they never earned... Can you imagine being able to counterfeit money out of thin air and loan it out, then collect interest? Imagine, your friend needs a car loan for $10k, you don't have any money so you just print up $10k out of thin air from your computer, loan it to your friend and in a few years they pay you back all of the money you counterfeited plus interest... and if they miss a payment or two, you get to take their car!!
And yes, as to your second statement you are right, the Federal Reserve does tell them to print money out of thin air. Just because the government decrees something doesn't make it right or moral. That is why I am for abolishing the Federal Reserve.

PS> Loon, that's not how banks loan work. The bank has to actually have the capital on hand to loan.

Loon, Jarvis ect all have a very incomplete understanding of what makes up the money supply.
