They can be enforceable, but there are big evidentiary problems.

Anyway to the case in hand, they did hide him, until he fell asleep therefore they fullfilled their end of the contract (it had no time period specified) if I was them I would counter sue for payment of cop hiding services rendered.

I was going to say the cops wouldn't care under the circumstance, but then this is the mid west of the USA so maybe your right.

Even still: "we were under duress" seems to clear up the whole situation.

I find most people are wishy washy and will agree to most anything with a gun to their heads.

Kinda like the Robot Chicken episode where the Pedophile sues "To catch a Prediator" for false advertising and ends up owning NBC and demands more predator friendly programming. He also ends up taking Chris Hanson's son on a play date.

This is nuts. But I wonder if the guy is just hoping to tie the issue up in appeals.
