Son wins US lawsuit against parents who threw out his porn collection

[L.K.Eder]

see. silver lining. your legal system works. there is hope for you incel trumptards.

Don't extrapolate. Our families are going to court to revoke our gun rights. They fucking ran off with that shit to a lawyer to press child pornography charges, and they forgot they aren't supposed to be in possession of it themselves, but nobody in the concerned community minds because they're concerned parents on the way to the old age home.

president biden will surely take the appropriate actions.

The point is application of the law, no matter the object it is being applied to. This is a basic conservative problem. They only want people to follow the laws they agree with.

A basic liberal problem is the fact they are constantly spewing out bullshit about conservatives.

It was a conservative who posted it, objecting to the application of the law. A liberal would have just found it an interesting article.

Several points not specifically mentioned is his right to privacy. The contents of boxes or steamer trunks full of his property were no longer open to inspection by his parents. Just as a landlord can't go looking through the property of his tenants. So this is more akin to a landlord-tenant situation, than a parent-child.

Twenty nine thousand in porn doesn't he know it's free on the internet?

Free internet porn is about as good as anything else that is "free" in this country.

His name is Werking? Lol

A man who sued his parents for getting rid of his pornography collection has won a lawsuit in western Michigan and can seek compensation. The US district judge Paul Maloney ruled in favour of David Werking, who said his parents had no right to throw out his collection. He lived at their Grand Haven home for 10 months after a divorce before moving to Muncie, Indiana.

Werking said boxes of films and magazines worth an estimated $29,000 (£21,500) were missing. “There is no question that the destroyed property was David’s property,” Maloney said. “Defendants repeatedly admitted that they destroyed the property.”

Werking’s parents said they had a right to act as his landlords. “Defendants do not cite to any statute or case law to support their assertion that landlords can destroy property that they dislike,” the judge said.

While I admit the parents should have never thrown away this guys property, isn't he being a little ungrateful for them taking him in for nearly a year during a time of need, and then suing them in court? While the parents could have told him to find a different place for his porn, he should know his parents well enough to anticipate their rejection of his hobby. What I don't understand is a porn collection. 30 years ago? Yeah, perhaps, but who collects porn these days when we all have access to the internet and can watch or see just about anything we want?

Once they allowed it into their home it became their problem in their eyes, but did not become their property to dispose of as the saw fit. Should have insisted he rent storage space off their property. Probably should have raised him better, also. Live and learn.

Their houses they could say they don’t want it in their house and make him remove it.

If they discard it, they are financially liable

One has to question the valuation of the property. I presume it was based on original purchase price without depreciation, since it could be considered irreplaceable.

I'm thinking what if instead of porn, it was someone's prized collection of commodore 64 hardware and software.

Actually there's more to it. Since this was akin to a landlord-tenant situation, imagine if a landlord told his tenant he didn't want them to have firearms on his property.

However, the rule for parents should be, you do not have the right to throw away or destroy anything belonging to your child.

My mother used to destroy my things. It was the most traumatic thing she ever did to me.

As an adult? That's sad, man.

I have to ask whether the man has time for real sex when he devotes so much time looking at porn.

Of course not, and thank God for it. This guy does NOT sound like God's Gift to Women.

Not too hard to believe he's divorced and living with his parents.

I am delighted to see that the United States judicial system is being used for a case as noble as this... an adult man who moved back in with his parents after his wife divorced him suing them for destroying his $29,000.00 in pornography he left behind when he moved out... I'll bet the holiday get gatherings will be a joy...

The judge should have thrown this shit out of court.

Want to bet on why he got a divorce?

$29,000.00 worth of porn...

The irony is that a judge agreed with the guys suit against his parents. Yet Trump can't find a judge to agree with his suits alleging election fraud.

Maybe when his wife found it, she didn't want to get sued by throwing it away, so she divorced him instead.

I don't know about other places, but here it's against the law for a landlord to do that.

Wouldn't half of it belong to her as community property?
Maybe in the divorce split, she got the car, and he got the porn.

Things might get better if less women had kids. Less. Alot less abortions, more higher paying job vacancies. Would the nation grow stronger? Quite a question.

Anything of value should be insured. Some of my musical instruments are irreplaceable, but I have them insured for appraisal value. However I don't know if there is such thing as porn insurance. He probably could have gotten rental insurance which is a hundred some bucks a year. Then they could have dealt with his parents.
