Being "in the news" is not generally a good place for process servers.  Let me give you a few examples.

#1 - Process servers commit perjury via sewer service in New York and Boston - Click here and here.

#2 - Process server commits murder, assault, and armed robbery in Las Vegas - Click here and here.

#3 - Process server arrested for unlawful use of weapon and criminal trespass in Castle Rock - Click here.

Folks, this is not the kind of PR we need.  It is definitely attracting attention but it is the kind of attention we can do without.  

As mentioned in an earlier post, New York is proposing to require process servers to carry GPS tracking devices whenever they're working.  Can you blame the authorities for doing this?  No, we can only blame ourselves.

We make our living based on the value of our signature and yet too many of us place no value at all on our own signature.  So how can the courts trust us?  

I expect to see changes in the near future and by that I mean the next four to six years.  I don't know exactly what those changes will be but I suspect most of us won't like them.  I think regulation is in the future and many of us in the business today won't be able to make the cut.

Look at yourself.  Look at those for whom you work.  Do you like what you see?
