Michigan man sues parents for $86,000 for tossing his porn collection
​

A Michigan man is seeking more than $86,000 from his parents in civil court for allegedly throwing out his large pornography collection.

The names of the son and his parents were withheld by WXMI, which obtained the federal civil court documents on Friday.

The family rift began in October 2016 when the man moved back into his parents' Grand Haven, Michigan, home after a divorce. Among his possessions was a smut collection, he said in court documents, worth $29,000, ABC affiliate ABC13 reported.

Less than a year later, the man moved to Indiana. When his parents delivered his property to his new home, the son alleges his massive collection was missing.

COMMENT:-

An obvious violation of the man's "right to keep and view porn" and the courts should deal with those (obviously left-wing, liberal, socialist, pinko, commie) parents as harshly as the law allows.

Right?

Somewhere (in Michigan) there is a judge face palming.

The stuff was in their house. They had a right to dispose of it.

Based on the story I read, the guy has a serious poem addiction and his father wasn’t about to feed that problem. Sounds like a good father to me.

I suspect that the "e" was a finger-fumble for an "r".

Please don't tell me that I'm wrong.

Nope, they invited him in along with his property.

It does not matter what the property was it was not theirs.

If it had been thirty thousand dollars worth of diamonds and they were blood diamond activists and they tossed them out of principle would that be okay?

Now if it were something illegal that could get them in trouble that would be different...

I'm not sure that is legally accurate. I initially laughed at the story but we seem to be dismissive of this simply because it is porn. What if they threw out $29,000 worth of his jewelry? Or sold his car parked in their garage? It was thousands and thousands of dollars worth of legal items. I'm not so sure this case is going to be tossed out.

ETA: GDViking beat me to the point.

No, no, I love it. Serious poem addiction. I know exactly how that works. You start out laughing at smutty limericks and move on to quoting droll little Ogden Nash verses. Before you know it you're fist-shaking while reading Robby Burns social condemnations and pounding the table to Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Can Shakespearian sonnets be far ahead?

If the parents were Evangelist Christians their moral code does give them to right to toss out of their home anything that is unchristian. This includes porn. Right wing extremists will agree while left wing democrats will argue they violated their son's First Amendment rights.
 
$29000?!? $86000?!?

Just use Pornhub, it's free!
 
I'm just trying to work out how a thirty thousand dollar collection became a ninety thousand dollar lawsuit.

I'm sure there are some things that go on in the the "Ted Nugent Paw of Perversion", that is, certain parts of upper MI that I don't want to know about. Same with the across the bog happenings in the land of Dahlmer (WI). I can't even keep up with the freaks here in FL, guys.

I don't think that they should have tossed it away.

Now taking it all down to the police station, telling the police that they didn't know if it was legal to posses or not, and would the police please let them know so that they could tell their son to come down to the police station and pick up his possessions - that's perfectly OK.

LMAO as nutty as this is and putting humor and subjective morals and feelings to the said the basic legalities of it come down to this: his legal property was destoryed illegally by people that didnt own it. :shrug:

Going by the info we currently have.
Seems he has a VERY strong case for damages . . while he might not get 86K for 29K of value his case seems open and close.

No, thats not how the law works so actually anybody that understands the law, right, left and cnter will not agree with that.
 
Do you know if it was legal? Could there have been child pornography in the bunch? His parents were not responsible for his property. If he had anything he thought was valuable, he should have removed it. Otherwise, thats his problem. The guy sponges off his parents and then sues them for not packing all his things the way he wanted them? Seriously?
 
The guy sounds more like a crybaby liberal who freeloads, then sues when things don't go his way. If he moved his own property, it wouldn't have gotten lost. Geez, he imposed on his parents by living in their basement watching porn. Then he gets mad because they didn't pack all of his belongings?

That $29,000 would be for "specific damages" and he would have to provide evidence of actually having paid that much (or that the cost of replacement would be that much), and he would also have to provide evidence that he was legally permitted to possess the material in the first place.

To do the second, he would have to provide an inventory of the actual items that were lost. If a SINGLE one of the items on the inventory turned out to be something that he was NOT legally allowed to possess, he would be in a real hurt locker.

Can you say "ill - con - cei - ved - nu - isan - ce - law - suit"?

Good! I knew that you could.
