Re: Certainly can't blame them
Hot,
So should we assume you are the idiot that destroyed this man's life and played morality cop? Who gives a crap what he does or who he bangs. Is it your body that'll get the STD? Is it your job being put at risk? Is it your tax money paying this guy's job? He doesn't look like a government worker to me. Now if it was, I'd be all for you reporting him. My tax dollars aren't financing him to have sex on my time. However, this man isn't a public employee. While what he did was wrong morally, and is illegal, it's the oldest profession around. Hell, if he was in Vegas, what he did would be legal. Quite frankly, while I don't agree with his choice, it's none of my damn business. I think if you are the one who recorded this, you need to find better ways to spend your days. Get a life, a job, and a hobby, in that exact order. Btw, I hope this man presses charges on your for breaking and entering. You after all opened the back of a PRIVATELY owned truck that wasn't yours. What you did was a criminal offense. It'd be like breaking into someones car. It doesn't matter if you took something or not. If this man had any bit of a good lawyer, he'd get your evidence tossed out on that basis alone and sue you for all you're worth. |

| First off I live and work in Fremont OH. This video was shot in OKC. I also work for a different store than what he does. And as far as a job. I work for Lowe's Family of Companies, Inc just as this guy did, but I'm still there. And as far as the truck being privately owned; since I'm a Lowe's employee all I need is my red vest with my name tag and employee ID card, to open any of our trucks. And as far as him being able to press charges for B&E that's up to Lowe's and Lowe's doesn't press charges on any one for anything. A valued customer means more to the company that suing someone, even shop lifters.
So before you go accusing someone of B&E and me living in OKC you better get your facts straight. I even said on my first post that I work for Lowe's but NOT at the store he works at NOR do I live anywhere NEAR him. You should learn to read. |

| First, the driver could probably press charges. No matter how you look at it, it's still a private truck and the guy trespassed into it. Second, sorry for assuming it's you. However the idiot that filmed this needs to get a life. I hope that guy who is caught uses the tape to sue the other person. Not only was that evidence obtained illegally (through trespassing / breaking into a car per say), but the camera man also broke the law. I wouldn't be hard pressed to say that camera man has a good time ahead of him too. |

| I'll give you that it's a private truck but when a driver has it out using it for business use Lowe' is still the one in charge of it. Such they'd be the one that would have to press charges. The store's do not even own, or have rights to the trucks that they use. Our Corp. Office (in Wilksboro, NC) "leases" them to each store. The lease agreement is basically maintenance; which comes out of the store budget. Each truck has plates from the state they're used it but insurance and everything of that such from NC. Even our truck inspections by DOT are preformed by NC; how ever in the hell they manage that one-LOL.
But as far as pressing charges against the camera man, it won't happen. It is Lowe's policy never do anything that could jeopardise any potential business. That' why we don't press charges on shop lifters or anyone else such as this guy. The chances of Lowe's doing anything to the guy but firing him; are very slim to none; only because of the potential shopper thing. Customer satisfaction is #1 NO matter what we have to do. |

| I think your logic is a bit flawed. Look at it from this perspective. If you are driving a rental car, and someone carjacks you, is the rental car company the only one that can press charges? No. If you are driving a company truck, you are still considered the operator of it. While I am sure laws vary by state, it should still be pretty standard. He was under the control of the vehicle, whether as an owner or operator gives him the right to press charges. One last scenario, pretend you borrow a friends car and someone breaks in and steals your purse. Your friend could press charges for the car, but you can still press charges on the stolen purse. Hence, this man can still press charges if he has a good lawyer, on the guy for breaking and entering. While he does not own the truck, he was in control of it at the time. What the man did was no vandalism but trespassing. Two different beats. If the truck was vandalized then it'd have to be lowes that did it most likely. Being that the camera man "broke into the truck" and then illegally gathered evidence, I am sure the guy has a leg to stand on both criminally and civilly. A good lawyer could make a strong case here. After all, the man showed himself opening the door that was closed. If it were open, then the man would have no argument. It wasn't and the camera man took the initiative to tresspass. |

| It maybe flawed but like i said I work for Lowe's I know how their policies work when working for them. When hired by Lowe's you agree to their policy says that you agree to follow their policy regarding that. The first person you call is Lowe's no matter what.
I actually work in Lowe's Delivery. There is a lot of stuff they do that doesn't make sense but its the way Lowe's runs the company. |
