HUD Had No Legal Authority to Investigate Most Appraisers - and They Knew It!

[glenn walker]

The big question to be asked, is why
does someone, who believes that their profession, consists of 95% unethical, immoral, lying crooks, stay in it ?

That's the moral dilemma the poster has to question, and do some self reflecting on in his life.

This preacher of immorality among the appraisal flock, has cast thousands of rocks over the years, yet keeps coming every day to lay down and break bread with the dog's with flea's.

Dept culture varies from agency to agency. LA Sheriffs and LAPD patrol units and a lot of other agencies in this region basically don't do traffic unless the offense is so flagrant they can't ignore it. They don't even take most misdemeanor offenders into custody unless they have to (they cite/release instead). OTOH, some of the small towns are notorious for leaning on their police dept to generate citation revenue towards funding their budget, which I consider to be completely immoral.

The prevailing level of passivity or aggression at an agency is generally determined at the top, not among the majority of the street cops themselves. There are always a few individuals at either end of that spectrum who are doing different than everyone else so that's also a thing.
The other thing that happens is that the individual's long term exposure to how people act IRL usually affects their worldview. They start off thinking they intend to go soft or go hard and end up learning otherwise as they go.

Why didn't you become a Pentecostal Preacher. Everyone is unethical, crooks, liars and thieves. Except one lone East Cleveland appraiser.

HUD Scandals​

• Tad DeHaven

June 1, 2009
The $65 billion Department of Housing and Urban Development has been plagued by mismanagement and scandal in recent decades. Numerous HUD secretaries have used their power to enrich themselves or to confer special benefits on people with political and financial connections. This essay looks at HUD mismanagement during the tenures of four HUD secretaries under three recent presidents:

• Samuel Pierce, 1981-1989, Ronald Reagan's only HUD secretary
• Henry Cisneros, 1993-1997, Bill Clinton's first HUD secretary
• Andrew Cuomo, 1997-2001, Bill Clinton's second HUD secretary
• Alphonso Jackson, 2003-2009, George W. Bush's second HUD secretary

A root cause of HUD scandals is that the department has a large number of costly subsidy programs, and each involves a tangled web of stakeholders. Many HUD programs divide responsibilities between federal, state, and local policymakers, and they involve private interests such as developers and financial companies. The multiplicity of interests and the complexity of the programs create opportunities for people in the public and private sectors to take personal advantage of programs.

If the act meets all the elements of the offense as laid out in the established law then it is what it is. Regardless of who/what the offender is or who/what the cop is.

You seem to think "who" is the only thing that matters. Moreso than the actual "what". That's where all your accusations fall flat. Even if everyone WAS ethically corrupt, the "what" is still the thing. The test is the test, the number is the number, and the act is the act. The individual either committed the alleged act or they didn't.

Where the cops do have some personal discretion is in the extent to which they act to enforce certain infractions - whether that non-operable turn signal results in a written citation or a verbal warning. Or ignored altogether by not initiating a traffic stop. Most cops don't give people a pass for misdemeanor violations. I never did.

aint much better then an appraisal stakeholder...cant believe a word they say

 

[George Hatch]

Bad cop. Some of them take shortcuts in order to stop the offender from offending any further. Just because cops hate offenders doesn't mean its okay for them to cut corners to stop those offenders. The ends don't justify the means.

Sometimes the cops are forced to let the assholes get away with their offenses.

 

[djd09]

bad cop...he violated the constitution which makes him a traitor

 

[djd09]

when they call you to the stand in front of a jury of your peers...tell them that you would have approved the loan no matter what

 

[glenn walker]

They had no legal authority BUT THEY DID IT ANYWAY *** they won.

The Reckoning Has Just Begun

HUD gambled that no one would notice.
That appraisers would stay silent.
That PAVE could hide behind headlines and slogans.

They were wrong.

The era of silence is over.
The era of reckoning has begun.

Good morning Mr. Mullinix;

On behalf of appraisers all across this nation, thank you for all the work you’ve done to professionally publicize such a travesty by the prior administration against the independent appraiser. I for one, truly appreciate the depth of your delivery and the no-nonsense way you’ve addressed each violation. At this point I’ve looked up the several things you’ve written, and all appraisers should do the same.

This PAVE nonsense lead to other behemoths who have also besmirched our work and our reputations and very few have stood up to defend our profession.

No matter what comes of all this, you’ve started the conversation which is something that few others have ever done for us.
