Report & Defend

Reporting illegal crews, defending American technicians

Integrity First

We exists to help working techs report illegal crews and defend lawful American labor.

Our Approach

We keep it simple so working techs can act quickly and responsibly.

1. Observe

Watch what is happening at the storm site. Note who is running the crews, how workers are recruited and paid, and any clear signs that required hiring paperwork is being ignored. When possible, quietly document with photos, screenshots, and written notes.

Confirm

Do not guess about anyone’s status. Only report what you actually know from direct statements, documents, pay arrangements, or other concrete facts. Before you submit, review your notes and evidence to be sure your report is accurate, specific, and based on what you truly saw and heard.

Report

When you are confident in your information, use the report form on this site to submit names, dates, locations, and your supporting evidence. Your report helps build a long term record across multiple storms so federal investigators can connect the dots and pursue repeat offender brokers.

Why Bother?

In this country the strength of the law depends on ordinary citizens who are willing to tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. When you carefully report what you have seen, you are not just filling out a form, you are defending honest work, your community, and the rule of law. Take your time, be precise, and remember that complete and truthful information is one of the most powerful tools an American citizen has.

Federal Consequences

8 U.S.C. § 1324a

In paintless dent repair, illegal hail crews often arrive for one or two months, get paid, and disappear before anyone reports them. That is why we need technicians to start reporting what they see right away and to name the brokers and companies involved. When reports from many techs and many storms line up, federal law enforcement can build real cases that follow these operators across seasons and hold repeat offenders accountable with serious fines and, when appropriate, federal prison time.

Notice to Offenders

Illegal Brokers Be Warned

If you are running illegal hail crews in the United States, understand this very clearly. We are documenting names, dates, locations, payment practices, and patterns across multiple storms and multiple years. Our purpose is to give federal authorities everything they need to pursue you under 8 U S C section 1324 and 8 U S C section 1324a, including the evidence required for heavy fines, asset seizures, and federal prison time.

You may move from city to city and season to season, but the record we are building does not move or disappear. Every technician who submits verified information adds another piece to that record and it will catch up with you. Our commitment is simple, to help legal authorities trace your illegal operations, follow the money, and hold not only front facing brokers, but also the businesses and partners who profit from them fully accountable under the law.
