Robo-...Yes, it is much easier to steal with a pen. Robo-signing an affidavit (aka "laffidavit") enables entities to make off with hundreds of thousands of dollars of property knowing that prosecution is unlikely. <br /><br />This is really a fundamental systemic flaw. The courts have relied on moral imperatives of "truth" and fear of punishment for perjury. But entities have no moral imperative and anyone watching litigation for any length of time realizes that prosecution for perjury is very, very rare despite no shortage of perjured testimony. The failure to prosecute these very public affidavit cases will cause the masses to realize that "truth" is irrelevant and no one should fear a "punishment" that is never exacted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
