Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) reported Sunday that he’d finally been served with a lawsuit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) back in March after weeks of taunting the Democrat about his team’s inability to track Brooks down and press the papers into his hands.
Purposefully evades process servers, brags about it, and then cries and whines when the process server has to take more aggressive measures. He put his wife in this situation.
“I have absolutely no doubt that it was an unpleasant experience for Mrs. Brooks, as I can imagine it would be for anybody,” he added in a Monday interview.
If you think that that was unpleasant, you should have seen what happened immediately after Mrs. Brooks confessed to her husband that she failed in her efforts to avoid being served.
The repo guys can boot the wheel, note the location and drive off. No personal contact, though the tow truck drivers might get some heat later.
Process servers gotta have that contact; so, more power to them.
Out of curiosity (I am no lawyer)… if one knows they’re gonna be served legal papers that they’ll be required to respond to … isn’t illegal to avoid being served?
