In your case it may have been a different issue than what is being talked
about here. It is the action of the individual that "could" constitute some
sort of illegal act. If he was an unlicensed person, driving an ADT truck
and not employeed by ADT, out there selling, installing, servicing alarms as
an ADT whatever, there may be some sort of fraud and deception thing going
on, not to mention any of the unlicensed contractor penaltys and who knows
what else. But simply having possession of a sign, or a truck etc. with a
logo on it is not illegal unless it was stolen. Even with that, the crime
would be possession of stolen property and not anything to do with the logo.
Stealing an ADT truck would carry no heavier penalty than stealing RLB's
Camary. You have to forget what seems to be right, ethical, common sense and
even what may have been law last year. None of that comes into play when
attorneys are involved.
