While reading this, I want all of those sworn to protect, serve, and whom promised to uphold all laws of the state that this IS A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION.
So I have an employee that got in to an accident in the Hood last night. He was driving on an expired DL and has no Insurance. Go figure.
He convinces the other resident of said Hood, that he wishes to not involve police in this matter! Again, go figure.
Other party agrees but only if my guy follows him to his house to talk to his Ol' lady.
My guy gives them his address, phone number, and tells them where he works.
Other party wants $500.00 cash to resolve matter. (I assure you the word "resolve" was never used last night )
My guy agrees.
Speed up to today:
My guy informs me of this incident because he wants to borrow money.
After cross examination I deduce that other party is so willing to accept a cash payment he may have skeletons in his own glove box.
I tell him to offer him $200.00 and see if he'll take it.
Other party's Ol' lady accepts the $200.00 over phone.
10 minutes later other party calls and says $200.00 "ain't enough!" He demands the $500.00 or he's calling the police and sending them to my guys work.
After more cross examination I figure he's bluffing and tell my guy to offer just $300.00 and say that's all he can get.
But after I explain my plan he says; "No, I am gonna get dis man his money and be done with it!"
So I ask why? And then the real truth comes out. "The other guy said if he don't get the $500.00 he is gonna take care of my guy's ass.
Now, here is the Hypothetical question:
Other than the street justice threat, what legal recourse does the other guy (now the threat guy), have against my guy? If they made some hood negotiation, should he tell the guy to get lost and take his chances or just pay him? Should my guy call the cops himself? Did I mention my guy was DWI on top of everything?
Okay, go!
PS: I guess if you guys feel uneasy answering this CLEARLY HYPOTHETICAL scenario, you can PM too.
