The Expat Files - 10/11/11

Those scary LA murder and crime stats, how crime statistics mislead, and how to really compare them to crime in the US and the rest of the 1st World.

LA crime statistics reported in the 1st World media don’t even begin to tell the real story and are just downright confusing. Here’s the real dirt crime and some specific LA examples.

What cleaning ladies and gardeners are saying about Expats behind their backs.

Expat Eddie takes a thieving employee to court - and loses! Why? Because he didn’t bother to bring his lawyer.

In LA its not enough to have proof and be in the right. You need your lawyer too- since you’re a rich 1st World guy and the thief is a poor downtrodden local (who just happens to need your Plasma TV and DVD player more than you do)

What are these things called passport embargos and arraigos? They are court orders that block you from leaving the country! How and why the LA courts can keep you from travelling, and why LAlocalscan get around that kind of order a lot easier than Expats can (but you can do it too if you know the tricks)
