I don't understand why anyone needs a principal reduction. I mean I totally get why they want it, since it means lower mortgage payments. But when the value of these homes went UP, they didn't get an INCREASE in principal. So what's with the reduction?

"Power of Love" The theme song to Back to the Future, which starred Michael J. Fox who also has Parkinsons. Do people think these things through before they start giving things names?

Saaaay. This could be a great way to make money in Vegas now. Drive around until you find a volatile cop. Usually a young one with a buzz cut and is cruising around on his cell phone. Then run a light in front of him. Let him chase you until the next intersection. Then just park in the middle of it, undo your seatbelt, unlock the door, and leave the car in Drive. Then when the cop comes up and orders you out of the car, just ignore him. He'll get all full of rage, will break the glass, and will eventually just drag you out of the car where he'll start beating on you. Just go limp the entire time, and then tell the court that you were scared so you panicked and went into a state of paralyzed shock when the started hitting you. BOOM! Instant payday!

Let's face it, $158,000 is a nice chunk of change that could either save your house, or let you buy a new one with some change left over if your old one already got foreclosed on. As long a cities keep cashing-out officers mistakes with no questions asked, and no reprimand for the officers, whose gonna care? Just like how they have that "Death By Cop" where suicidal people trick cops into shooting them, we could have "Payday By Cop" where people in financial straights do just this to provoke cops in order to get beaten up, and then just opt for cash settlements when police departments and cities want to quietly cover things up.

@westvegas

You're just a troll, and a bad one. The fact that your alleged brother is a cop doesn't make you any more of an expert in interpreting the law than he could possibly be. That's why we in fact have our court system that you loved to point out in place so that we can interpret said laws using judges, jurors, and of course lawyers.

But most of all I love your response back to Tom, and I quote: "If you believe everything the Sun and/or the police, or anyone else tells you... then you are easily led. Think for yourself."

So what you're telling everyone is that not even you trust your own brother to always tell you the truth. The very person you're trying to cite in order to uphold your own argument. Great job at ruining your own credibility.

As for this woman, yeah, we'll all wait for the official Guilty verdict. But honestly, how could it be anything but? Was she forced to drink and drive? As someone put into a place of trust with peoples' children to educate them and lead by example, she should absolutely be held to a higher standard, and stricter punishment than others.

@Det_Munch

I think those houses are in "Rancho Circle".

Spanish Trails and everyone else can build all the mansions they want, but square footage and home automation are no substitute for true class.
