Police to ignore California impound law amid concern of fairness to illegal immigrant

[Greg in LA]

Thanks for the imput and the reply everyone.
Ayatolla, What you said about small claims court." A throwback to the king's common law courts". Is so true.
I am a newbie at suing someone, it was my first time... and what an eye opener it was.
I got the verdict today, $385.00 judgement against the landlord. The scumbag management company Southern California Realestate management was dismissed. Frankly I feel victorious!
It was half of what they with held from my deposite, but after the way I saw the laws totally disregarded I am suprised that I got anything.

I couldn't take it to a higher court, I called a few lawyers, they were not interested because the it money involved was too small.
I met the owner of the Management company, he was the defendant. I swear I think that guy probably lives in small claims court. He was a total pro at it, probably because half of all of his tenants sue him to get back their deposits.
