Don't Don't move. 00:00:04.400 >> This is the story of how I got swatted. 00:00:07.279 All because of Legos. The whole thing 00:00:10.000 started with me investigating a Lego 00:00:11.679 company called Bricks and Minifigs. The 00:00:13.679 company sent two guys to steal the 00:00:15.599 world's largest Star Wars Lego 00:00:17.199 collection worth around $200,000. 00:00:19.920 And for some reason, the police are 00:00:21.680 helping them get away with it. The 00:00:23.600 family reached out to me saying that I'm 00:00:25.600 their last hope to get them their life 00:00:28.080 savings back. The video I made exposing 00:00:30.880 them was actually insane. Check it out 00:00:33.520 if you haven't seen it yet. But we ended 00:00:35.440 up taking them to court and we actually 00:00:37.120 won. When I went back to the store to 00:00:38.879 collect my money, they literally shut 00:00:40.559 down the entire store just to avoid 00:00:42.800 paying us. Dang it. 00:00:44.239 >> So, I personally gave them an official 00:00:46.480 closing ceremony and it went extremely 00:00:49.039 viral. And now the entire world has seen 00:00:52.000 how corrupt this bricks and mini figs 00:00:53.920 company is. 00:00:54.640 >> We didn't get the Legos back. But I 00:00:56.079 mean, we shut down an entire business. 00:00:58.239 >> We didn't get the We still had to get 00:00:59.280 the Legos back. Yeah. I made a promise 00:01:01.680 to this family that I was not going to 00:01:03.920 stop on my journey until we get them 00:01:06.240 their entire Lego collection back. 00:01:09.600 Right now, the two owners, Joshua 00:01:11.439 Johnson and Brandon Best, probably think 00:01:13.439 that they're safe by closing out the 00:01:15.119 store. But the reality is, I can 00:01:17.520 literally just sue them all over again. 00:01:19.360 but personally this time. So I started 00:01:21.840 to file my lawsuit. 00:01:24.320 But right after I filed this court case, 00:01:26.159 it got rejected. 00:01:28.320 And the reason was I failed to 00:01:30.000 demonstrate a good faith effort to 00:01:31.680 resolve the dispute prior to filing. 00:01:33.920 Basically, before this court case could 00:01:35.439 approve, I have to at least attempt to 00:01:37.439 settle with Josh outside of court first. 00:01:40.000 >> I tried calling Josh, but I'm blocked. 00:01:42.240 >> I'm sorry, man. So, my only option left 00:01:45.759 is to travel to his house to have this 00:01:47.680 conversation in person. 00:01:49.360 >> Basically, if Josh wants to save the 00:01:50.880 day, I got him a trophy that says, 00:01:53.920 "Josshua Johnson saved the day." 00:01:57.520 And uh we'll give him this trophy, but 00:01:59.040 he has to give the Legos back first. 00:02:00.719 >> So, we started driving to Josh's house 00:02:02.880 to have this good faith conversation the 00:02:05.040 court requires us to have. 00:02:06.479 >> Uh we're in Josh's neighborhood. 00:02:10.160 Oh my gosh. But when we showed up, Josh 00:02:12.480 was already outside talking on the phone 00:02:14.720 to someone. 00:02:15.360 >> Oh my gosh. Okay, Josh is outside on the 00:02:17.040 phone. 00:02:17.440 >> It's crazy. 00:02:18.160 >> Wait, do I interrupt his phone call or 00:02:19.760 do we just like wait 00:02:20.720 >> interrupt his phone call? 00:02:23.280 >> No, probably not. 00:02:24.480 >> I thought it would be pretty rude to 00:02:25.760 interrupt his phone call. So, we parked 00:02:27.599 around the corner and decided to wait 00:02:29.360 for him to get off this call. 00:02:32.640 >> I like how he's just having this 00:02:33.760 conversation outside, 00:02:34.959 >> right? He doesn't want to get his wife 00:02:36.560 involved. He's hiding something. 00:02:40.160 Everything's good, honey. 00:02:41.599 >> What the heck? 00:02:42.879 >> I'm pretty sure Josh is on the phone 00:02:44.560 with corporate Bricks and Mini Figs. And 00:02:46.800 the reason I think that is we were 00:02:48.560 actually just there right before this. 00:02:50.560 >> Okay, pulling up to Bricks and Mini Figs 00:02:52.480 headquarters. 00:02:53.280 >> The plan was to give them one more 00:02:55.120 chance to do the right thing before 00:02:56.959 suing them again. While we were there, 00:02:59.120 one of the corporate employees answered 00:03:00.720 the door and told us he would get the 00:03:02.400 CEO to come talk to us. 00:03:06.239 >> Hello, guys. Hello. 00:03:08.319 >> I'll be here. No, they said they're 00:03:10.400 getting some guy to talk to us. Um, 00:03:12.239 we're just waiting. 00:03:12.879 >> I can't tell you right now, no one no 00:03:14.319 one's coming out to talk to you guys 00:03:15.599 like that, 00:03:16.159 >> but they told us that they were. 00:03:17.360 >> I know. 00:03:18.080 >> Since Josh only lives like 15 minutes 00:03:19.920 away, they must have informed him that 00:03:22.000 we're in the area because a few minutes 00:03:24.400 later, this happened, 00:03:26.159 >> dude. The police just showed up. What 00:03:27.360 the heck? 00:03:30.239 >> Why are the police in his house? 00:03:31.760 >> Oh, there's another one, dude. Two cop 00:03:34.080 cars. 00:03:34.640 >> Three cop cars. 00:03:36.000 >> Cop cars. 00:03:36.560 >> There's Why is there three cop cars in 00:03:38.000 this house? 00:03:39.519 We didn't even walk up to his house yet. 00:03:41.760 The cops are following us. What the 00:03:43.360 heck? That's so crazy, dude. Obey every 00:03:46.400 traffic law. He's 00:03:47.120 >> got his lights on. 00:03:47.840 >> Oh, shoot. 00:03:48.319 >> He's pulling us over. 00:03:52.000 >> My name's Americanore Police. The reason 00:03:54.080 I stopped here was the stop sign. 00:03:56.879 >> I didn't. 00:03:57.439 >> No, 00:03:57.920 >> I thought I stopped. 00:03:59.840 >> Yeah, you definitely stopped. 00:04:02.400 >> Did you say you ran at a stop sign? 00:04:04.000 >> Yeah. 00:04:04.319 >> You said you ran a stop sign. 00:04:05.680 >> I didn't see what happened. Yeah, I was 00:04:06.799 like 00:04:06.959 >> cuz we definitely stopped at the stop 00:04:08.480 sign. Yeah, 00:04:09.519 >> I was so sure that we stopped at the 00:04:11.360 stop sign that I actually requested all 00:04:13.280 the police footage of this. And as you 00:04:14.959 can see, we didn't even do a rolling 00:04:16.320 stop. We fully stopped at the stop sign. 00:04:19.279 So, this is an illegal traffic stop. 00:04:23.199 >> So, who's Ben? 00:04:25.120 >> Uh, me. 00:04:26.320 >> Ben, 00:04:27.520 >> how's Utah? 00:04:28.800 >> It's good. You like it? 00:04:30.639 >> Okay. It's pretty obvious that the 00:04:32.160 police know why we're here. So, I just 00:04:34.240 explained to them the entire situation. 00:04:36.160 >> This old man spent his life, entire life 00:04:39.360 collecting the world's largest Star Wars 00:04:41.280 Lego collection set. 00:04:42.720 >> The only problem is it's a crazy story 00:04:45.520 and the police officer did not believe 00:04:48.160 me. 00:04:48.560 >> $200,000. 00:04:49.600 >> $200,000. 00:04:50.720 >> $200,000. 00:04:52.560 It sounds crazy. 00:04:54.160 >> Yeah. When the officer went back to his 00:04:56.080 car, this is the message that he radioed 00:04:58.320 in. 00:04:58.560 >> Hey, can you get the contact for 00:05:00.000 Reckless Ben? said he didn't have his 00:05:01.600 ID, but he's just straight lying to me 00:05:04.000 about everything else. So, 00:05:05.440 >> since the cops don't believe my story, 00:05:07.360 they trespassed me from the property. 00:05:09.280 >> Everybody today is being trespassed from 00:05:11.199 that property. 00:05:12.080 >> Okay. 00:05:12.639 >> Yeah. We were forced to go home without 00:05:14.560 having this good faith conversation the 00:05:16.639 court requires us to have. 00:05:18.160 >> Yeah. What do we do now, dude? Like, we 00:05:20.080 didn't even like get to talk to him and 00:05:21.680 we're already trespass. 00:05:22.560 >> Go, dude. 00:05:23.280 >> But one thing I didn't understand was 00:05:25.360 how the heck did they know we were 00:05:27.120 coming? I was hiding in the back seat 00:05:28.960 the entire time and the car's windows 00:05:31.280 are extremely tinted. 00:05:32.960 >> These windows are so tinted that you 00:05:34.560 can't see anything. 00:05:35.280 >> But as I was outside inspecting our car 00:05:37.280 tent, the same police showed up to our 00:05:39.280 house. 00:05:39.680 >> Oh no, we're going to pull over again. 00:05:42.080 >> And it was weird. He wouldn't tell us 00:05:44.320 why he was here. 00:05:45.360 >> Like I said, we've already talked about 00:05:47.039 >> Yeah. Well, thanks for being so cool 00:05:48.080 about everything. 00:05:49.520 >> They're like after us, dude. Anyways, 00:05:51.840 since Josh clearly doesn't want to have 00:05:53.520 this good faith conversation with me, I 00:05:56.080 took his trophy and destroyed it. 00:06:00.720 >> Well, guys, let's let's throw it off 00:06:01.919 that thing. 00:06:06.960 >> Just like in the previous video, I tried 00:06:09.199 to give Josh the benefit of the doubt, 00:06:11.600 the easy way. But again, Josh does not 00:06:14.800 want to do the easy way. The only option 00:06:17.360 left is to go the hard way. 00:06:21.280 Yeah. 00:06:23.360 But before going the hard way, I 00:06:24.960 actually remembered that there's another 00:06:26.479 owner of the store named Brandon Best. 00:06:28.960 Brandon is the guy in the security 00:06:30.319 camera footage that illegally kicked the 00:06:32.319 first owner out of the store so he could 00:06:34.080 steal all their Legos. I tried calling 00:06:36.160 him, but I am also blocked. 00:06:38.240 >> I'm sorry. 00:06:39.360 >> The only option left is to show up to 00:06:41.120 his house. 00:06:44.639 >> Hello. Hey, how's it going? 00:06:49.280 Huh? 00:06:52.000 Hey. Well, I was wondering if uh you'd 00:06:54.240 be down to pay us for the lawsuit that 00:06:56.319 we won. 00:07:11.599 It kind of seems like Brandon doesn't 00:07:13.360 want to have this good faith 00:07:14.639 conversation to resolve this problem 00:07:16.479 outside of court. and I gave him plenty 00:07:18.960 of time to speak. 00:07:21.440 >> I guess if you don't want to talk, I'll 00:07:23.039 just talk. Um, so you guys told us to 00:07:25.759 take you to court. We went to court and 00:07:27.599 we won. We know you closed down the 00:07:30.000 store to avoid paying us. So, um, we 00:07:34.080 could just sue you guys personally and 00:07:35.440 do the whole thing again. We would 00:07:36.479 obviously win again. But, but then the 00:07:39.759 police showed up and again, for some 00:07:42.960 reason, they are really trying to 00:07:45.120 protect these criminals. He didn't steal 00:07:47.039 anything. He inherited the store from 00:07:48.479 somebody else. 00:07:48.960 >> No, he stole $200,000 worth. 00:07:50.560 >> How do you know this? 00:07:51.680 >> Cuz I've been spending the last 3 months 00:07:53.759 in the case and I won in court. 00:07:56.240 >> He inherited the store. 00:07:57.919 >> He's being blamed for everything that 00:07:59.599 the previous owner did 00:08:01.440 >> and he's trying to 00:08:02.319 >> Well, that's a lie. So, we Okay, hold 00:08:03.759 on. 00:08:04.560 >> Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 00:08:06.160 >> He's still trying to clean up the mess 00:08:07.680 from the previous owner and now he's 00:08:09.280 catching blame for it 00:08:10.960 >> and he's just trying to clean up the 00:08:12.479 mess from the previous owner. No, him 00:08:14.479 saying that it's the previous owner, 00:08:15.840 that's a lie. And we have like we 00:08:17.440 already proved this in court. 00:08:18.720 >> You come back and set foot on this 00:08:20.160 property. You're going to go to jail. 00:08:22.400 >> The police gave me a formal trespass 00:08:24.160 notice, which I took a picture of it and 00:08:26.080 sent it to the court as proof I tried to 00:08:28.080 have this good faith conversation, but 00:08:30.560 Brandon didn't want to have it with me. 00:08:32.958 And turns out this was good enough. My 00:08:34.799 court case with Brandon Best got 00:08:36.559 accepted, 00:08:38.880 but my court case with Josh is still 00:08:41.120 going to be rejected until I find a way 00:08:43.360 to have this good faith conversation 00:08:44.800 with him. So, I decided to see if I 00:08:46.720 could find Josh online to see if I could 00:08:48.720 look up any more information about him. 00:08:51.040 >> Yeah. What? They look the same. No. 00:08:53.760 >> Joshua Johnson. 00:08:54.880 >> Yeah. Joshua Johnson. 00:08:56.560 >> We lower their tax liabilities and 00:08:58.480 minimize their exposure to lawsuits. 00:09:00.480 That's hella ironic. Are you kidding me, 00:09:02.560 dude? That's what he's known for is a 00:09:04.959 reducing people's exposure to lawsuits. 00:09:07.839 >> After some more research, we found out 00:09:09.760 that both Josh and Brandon are super 00:09:13.120 hardcore Mormon, which was actually 00:09:16.160 extremely surprising to me because if 00:09:18.959 Josh and Brandon are truly Mormons, that 00:09:21.040 they believe that stealing is wrong and 00:09:23.279 if they steal, they're going to go to 00:09:25.120 hell. Or I guess in Mormonism they call 00:09:27.839 it the outer darkness. But still, 00:09:29.680 Brandon and Josh probably actually 00:09:32.000 believed that this is going to be 00:09:33.519 eternity for them. I mean, Josh even 00:09:35.200 swore to me on his Mormon God in the 00:09:37.360 last video that he would give us the 00:09:38.880 Legos back. 00:09:39.839 >> I I promise you. I swear to God. I 00:09:42.399 promise you on everything. 00:09:43.519 >> But maybe I can use this to my 00:09:44.720 advantage. My problem right now seems to 00:09:46.880 be that Josh is never going to listen to 00:09:49.279 anything I ever tell him. 00:09:52.959 But if someone from his church heard 00:09:54.640 this audio, maybe he would listen to 00:09:56.320 them. So, after finding exactly what 00:09:58.640 church these guys go to, we went to it 00:10:00.959 and showed one of the Mormons there this 00:10:02.720 audio clip. And the Mormon thought that 00:10:04.480 the best thing to do was to have a talk 00:10:06.080 with Josh to save him from going to this 00:10:08.320 outer darkness. Okay, good luck. 00:10:12.720 And I guess me and Tyler are staying 00:10:14.640 back cuz we're already trespassed. 00:10:17.360 So, yeah, we ended up just driving home, 00:10:20.320 but on our way back, this happened. 00:10:23.279 >> What? Pull over again. 00:10:26.079 >> For what? 00:10:27.760 >> How's it going? 00:10:28.480 >> How's it going? I'm officer Hawkins, 00:10:29.760 American Port Police Department. How you 00:10:30.959 doing? 00:10:31.200 >> Good. How are you? 00:10:31.920 >> Good. 00:10:33.600 >> Well, what's your name? 00:10:34.959 >> Uh, are you Ben 00:10:39.760 hanging out down here? 00:10:42.240 >> At this point, we realized what's going 00:10:44.320 on. Yesterday, I told Brandon that our 00:10:47.360 plan is to now sue them personally. 00:10:49.760 >> We could just sue you guys personally 00:10:51.040 and do the whole thing again. we would 00:10:52.320 obviously win again. 00:10:53.360 >> It seems like they're getting so 00:10:54.800 desperate that they're going to resort 00:10:56.560 back to the same strategy they used in 00:10:58.240 the last video. 00:10:59.279 >> You know what's really funny is after 00:11:00.480 you left, I got a call from my boss and 00:11:02.320 it was like, "How do we get them 00:11:03.200 arrested?" 00:11:04.079 >> Dang. 00:11:04.399 >> How do we get them arrested? 00:11:06.079 >> Yeah. Josh and Brandon think that if 00:11:08.480 they can somehow get us arrested and 00:11:10.240 thrown in jail, then we won't be able to 00:11:12.480 sue them. I don't know what they told 00:11:14.320 the police we did this time, but they 00:11:16.560 caught us too late. The Mormon kid was 00:11:18.800 already on his way to Josh's house to 00:11:20.720 save him from this outer darkness and 00:11:22.959 bring him back to God. 00:11:24.160 >> How's it going, sir? 00:11:25.600 >> You been s down here for me for a pretty 00:11:27.680 s 00:11:28.560 >> What brings you here? 00:11:30.720 >> Uh, I'm just here trying to talk to 00:11:32.640 brother Johnson. Okay. 00:11:33.839 >> I'm in the second world. 00:11:35.760 >> There's been an audio going around with 00:11:37.360 the young men group. 00:11:39.200 >> Okay. What's the audio that you wanted 00:11:40.959 to play? Here's the audio. 00:11:43.200 >> I'm not going to screw you. You have my 00:11:45.200 word. That's not who I am. 00:11:47.920 >> Uhhuh. 00:11:48.880 >> I promise you. I swear to God 00:11:51.839 everything. 00:11:54.240 >> Who's that? 00:11:55.120 >> I guess that's him. 00:11:56.399 >> No, I know that. I can tell that from 00:11:58.160 the voice. But 00:11:58.880 >> I was just going to ask him like is he 00:12:01.440 willing to give up everything like he 00:12:03.360 said cuz he swore on everything. He 00:12:04.959 swore on God. 00:12:06.399 >> This might be a crazy ask, but could you 00:12:08.399 take a selfie with him? 00:12:11.600 >> But anyways, back to us. The police 00:12:14.320 apparently got a call that we had heroin 00:12:16.800 on us. 00:12:17.600 >> This officer is going to conduct the 00:12:18.959 search of the person because substances 00:12:21.519 in the vehicle. 00:12:22.399 >> Really? 00:12:22.800 >> So he's going to do that. I'm going to 00:12:24.000 put this away and then be right. Don't 00:12:26.480 go. 00:12:27.279 >> Don't reach in your pockets. Okay. Thank 00:12:30.320 you. The vehicle will be searched. Okay. 00:12:32.880 I'm going to have you stick by my 00:12:34.160 sergeant. 00:12:40.800 After two hours of searching the car, 00:12:43.279 obviously they found no drugs. 00:12:45.839 >> So, can you find 00:12:51.680 anyone? 00:12:52.240 >> I explained to the police that we didn't 00:12:54.079 have drugs and the reality of the 00:12:56.000 situation is is that Bricks and Minigs 00:12:58.399 is so desperate at this point that 00:13:00.399 they're willing to do anything to get us 00:13:02.079 arrested so they don't have to pay for 00:13:03.360 the property they stole. And the police 00:13:05.200 was arguing back with just some of the 00:13:07.040 worst comebacks I've ever heard. Which 00:13:09.279 is why I think the police actually 00:13:10.639 redacted this audio in this clip because 00:13:12.399 if they kept the audio in, then the 00:13:14.800 world would get to see how stupid the 00:13:16.480 American Fork Police Department is. But 00:13:18.320 anyways, even though we were passing 00:13:20.240 every single drug test they gave us, 00:13:22.560 they were still not going to let us go 00:13:24.480 until we told them where the drugs were. 00:13:26.480 >> Your eyes for example, right? Right. 00:13:28.320 >> There's a construction which is dilated 00:13:31.040 and then you see it. 00:13:33.040 >> So I haven't been looking. 00:13:36.880 >> Look, look at him. 00:13:37.920 >> Oh, look at you. 00:13:38.639 >> Yeah. 00:13:40.320 >> You do see it. 00:13:41.920 >> So 00:13:42.320 >> it's crazy. 00:13:43.600 >> I have no idea cuz I've never done any 00:13:45.519 drugs in my life. I don't do drugs. I 00:13:47.360 don't do alcohol. I've never done any of 00:13:48.959 that in my life. I'm willing to do any 00:13:50.880 drug tests. 00:13:52.160 >> Like I'm very cooperative. I don't 00:13:54.399 understand Yeah. what you're seeing in 00:13:56.000 my eyes. 00:13:57.199 Um, I'm going to have a discussion with 00:13:59.199 this officer. 00:14:00.079 >> And then the police department illegally 00:14:01.839 redacted this conversation, too. My 00:14:04.480 guess is that they acknowledged that 00:14:06.720 it's very obvious we don't have drugs on 00:14:08.880 us, but they were going to try and 00:14:10.480 pressure us into giving some type of 00:14:12.000 false confession. Anyways, 00:14:13.760 >> I'm not sure if you're lying to me or 00:14:15.440 not. To be honest, 00:14:17.040 >> I I'm willing to take any drug test you 00:14:18.720 want. 00:14:19.199 >> Walking a very dangerous line, which get 00:14:21.279 you hooked up a lot. 00:14:23.120 >> Yeah. And you could end up in jail and 00:14:25.199 you talk when you're from Cali. 00:14:27.199 >> Okay. 00:14:27.839 >> Not worth it, right? 00:14:29.040 >> Yeah. Yeah. 00:14:29.839 >> We play differently here. 00:14:31.839 >> Does that make sense? 00:14:32.880 >> Yeah. Yeah. 00:14:33.760 >> I'm willing to cooperate with you guys 00:14:35.199 and do anything you want me to cuz I'm 00:14:36.639 not hiding anything. I pro I can promise 00:14:38.160 you that. I promise. 00:14:38.959 >> We weren't giving the police a false 00:14:40.480 confession like they wanted. So 00:14:42.639 eventually, I guess they just got tired 00:14:44.320 and let us go. 00:14:45.519 >> We'll let you guys go now, but you're 00:14:47.839 walking a thin line. Just be mindful of 00:14:50.079 that. Does that make sense? 00:14:51.680 >> Okay. At this point, I've documented 00:14:53.600 everything I've been through to the 00:14:54.959 court that I've tried to have this good 00:14:56.639 faith conversation with Josh. He just 00:14:58.720 doesn't want to have it with me. And 00:15:00.160 because of everything I went through, my 00:15:02.320 court case finally got approved. 00:15:05.600 And attached to this email are court 00:15:07.440 papers to serve Josh. The only problem 00:15:09.760 is Josh is not going to open this door 00:15:11.680 for anyone. He wouldn't even talk to 00:15:14.079 another Mormon. Instead, he just called 00:15:16.000 the police on him. In order to get Josh 00:15:17.839 to come outside, I'm really gonna have 00:15:20.079 to get creative. So, I made this poster 00:15:23.279 that says, "I stole a dying man's life 00:15:25.600 savings." And printed it out. Now, I'm 00:15:28.079 placing this poster in a public space 00:15:30.000 right across the street from Josh's 00:15:31.680 house. Yeah. It turns out this tiny 00:15:33.279 patch of land is actually free for any 00:15:35.279 person of the public to use. And since 00:15:37.120 we have the freedom of speech, I am 00:15:38.800 breaking no laws by doing this. So, when 00:15:40.800 Josh walks outside to take down this 00:15:42.320 sign, I have a process server to serve 00:15:44.320 him his court papers. But almost 00:15:46.240 immediately, my sign got blocked. 00:15:48.959 >> Oh no, he's blocking our sign. 00:15:57.040 >> What are you What are you guys doing 00:15:58.320 here? 00:15:59.040 >> Uh, so we are in a court case with them 00:16:01.279 and we have to serve him legal papers. 00:16:02.800 >> So I explained to the cops the entire 00:16:04.639 situation. 00:16:06.160 >> I'm not going on his property. 00:16:07.440 >> Right. No, that's fine. That's fine. 00:16:08.720 >> The police realized that we're not 00:16:10.240 breaking any laws and they've been 00:16:11.839 called here for a false reason. So they 00:16:13.839 decided to leave. Awesome. Thank you. 00:16:18.639 >> This is going so much better than 00:16:19.759 yesterday. 00:16:20.720 >> So, now it's time to serve Josh these 00:16:22.720 court papers. And then we got the police 00:16:25.120 calling us again. 00:16:26.160 >> Hello. 00:16:27.759 This man stole uh basically his family's 00:16:30.399 life savings. So, we're just here to 00:16:32.079 serve him his court papers. 00:16:33.519 >> Again, I explained to this police 00:16:34.880 officer the entire situation. 00:16:36.959 >> I wish we could just send him an email 00:16:38.399 or a phone call, you know, but uh yeah, 00:16:40.959 the court requires us to come in person 00:16:42.800 for some reason. So, Again, 00:16:45.680 the cops realized that we are doing 00:16:47.440 nothing illegal and decided to leave. 00:16:50.240 Now, it's time to serve Josh his court 00:16:52.320 papers, but we got the police caught on 00:16:54.320 us again. 00:16:55.120 >> Hello. 00:16:57.040 >> Can I see those papers? 00:16:58.480 >> Yeah. 00:16:58.959 >> So, this is what you're trying to serve 00:17:00.880 them with? 00:17:01.600 >> Yes. That's uh required by the court. 00:17:05.119 >> Again, the police agree that we are not 00:17:07.039 breaking the law. They've been caught 00:17:08.400 out here for a false reason. This guy 00:17:10.480 told me that he could even just serve 00:17:12.160 the papers for me. You okay if I get 00:17:13.839 these papers to him? 00:17:14.959 >> Uh, yeah, for sure. 00:17:16.480 >> Okay, just give me one minute. 00:17:17.919 >> Okay, thank you. 00:17:19.599 >> Sadly, we can't see the police officer 00:17:21.760 serve Josh because the police department 00:17:23.839 redacted all of it. But the only thing 00:17:26.160 that really matters is that Josh is 00:17:28.319 getting served. 00:17:30.559 >> He does not want the paper. So, 00:17:32.400 >> he does not want the papers. 00:17:33.360 >> Here's that back for you. 00:17:35.520 >> Yeah, the police told me that they can't 00:17:37.520 serve the papers for me because I'm 00:17:39.280 lying to them and these aren't even real 00:17:41.440 court papers. Not sure what this is. 00:17:43.280 I've never seen something like that um 00:17:46.400 to be honest with you. 00:17:47.360 >> Well, these are court papers. 00:17:48.880 >> Okay. It doesn't have a judge's name or 00:17:51.120 anything like that on it. 00:17:52.559 >> Uh because it hasn't gotten to the judge 00:17:54.559 yet. So, this is serving him and then 00:17:56.160 we'll go to the court and then the judge 00:17:57.679 will be there. So, the judge doesn't get 00:17:58.880 involved until we're in court. 00:18:00.080 >> Why is he saying that you guys would 00:18:01.360 have property? 00:18:02.720 >> Cuz he wants us arrested so he doesn't 00:18:04.400 have to go to court. 00:18:06.000 >> It doesn't look good when you've been 00:18:07.679 trespassed. Yeah. 00:18:08.880 >> Trying to serve papers. Well, I think it 00:18:10.640 looks exactly how uh we're supposed to 00:18:12.640 do it legally. This is the legal way to 00:18:14.240 do it. 00:18:14.640 >> Well, we we have two or three incidents. 00:18:17.440 >> Yeah. Well, first, so their instance 00:18:20.160 because he's lying to you guys. He's 00:18:22.000 making them incidents. Uh we came to do 00:18:24.160 a good faith conversation, which is 00:18:25.760 required by the courts before you can 00:18:27.600 get a court case approved. So, we did 00:18:28.960 that. He called the cops on us. He's he 00:18:31.520 lied to you guys saying that we had 00:18:32.960 heroin on us. And we did a three-hour 00:18:35.039 search of the car yesterday. We found no 00:18:36.960 heroin in the car. He's he's going to 00:18:38.480 make up any lie he can to get us 00:18:40.080 arrested. We are doing things the legal 00:18:42.160 way, the correct way. The reason he's 00:18:43.919 hiding in his house is because he's the 00:18:45.840 criminal. It's if something doesn't look 00:18:47.760 good, it doesn't look good for him, not 00:18:49.120 for us. 00:18:49.840 >> Go the legal process. Find actual 00:18:52.240 process server. 00:18:53.679 >> She is an actual process server. 00:18:55.200 >> And what is your guys's relationship? 00:18:57.280 >> Uh I just met her today. 00:18:58.960 >> Well, maybe just have someone not 00:19:01.360 affiliated with you. 00:19:02.640 >> Uh that's her. Yeah, she's We have no 00:19:04.799 relationship. That's why she's here. 00:19:06.160 Yeah. That's why she's here. We have no 00:19:08.080 relationship and that is who she is the 00:19:11.120 exact person that you're describing. 00:19:12.559 >> I always thought that the police were 00:19:14.000 supposed to remain unbiased and if they 00:19:16.400 were going to take a side, they 00:19:18.160 definitely shouldn't take the side of 00:19:19.360 the criminal, but I guess I was wrong. 00:19:23.760 However, I'm not doing anything illegal. 00:19:26.000 I'm literally just following the 00:19:27.360 instructions of the court. So, the 00:19:29.200 police can't stop me. Okay, I'm going to 00:19:31.200 erase your Okay, see you. 00:19:38.320 Now that the police are finally leaving, 00:19:40.640 it's time to game plan how to serve 00:19:42.559 Josh. 00:19:44.880 But then, you guessed it, we got the 00:19:47.200 police called on us again. 00:19:51.360 >> Oh, sure. The paper. 00:19:53.200 >> The serving paper. 00:19:54.000 >> Yeah. 00:19:54.720 >> Here you go. 00:19:58.480 >> Well, they think it's a false 00:20:02.559 case. What the heck? 00:20:03.679 >> Thank you for holding. How can I help 00:20:05.200 you? 00:20:05.840 >> Trying to speak with someone to verify 00:20:08.960 if a uh case is just verify if a case is 00:20:14.080 real. 00:20:16.240 >> Yeah, looks like a a real small claim's 00:20:18.240 case in our court. 00:20:19.280 >> Okay, thank you for your help. Um that's 00:20:22.080 all for Thank you. 00:20:24.160 >> I think this phone call was the breaking 00:20:26.320 point for the police. 00:20:27.600 >> Oh, he's rubbing his chin. 00:20:29.120 >> The police couldn't handle the fact that 00:20:31.039 I was right and they were wrong. 00:20:38.000 Hello 00:20:39.520 for me. Okay. Okay. Find you back. 00:20:42.960 >> Am I being arrested? 00:20:44.159 >> Under arrest right now. 00:20:45.280 >> Really? 00:20:51.440 >> Ben got arrested. Like they didn't say 00:20:53.840 anything when they were putting him in 00:20:55.440 handcuffs. They just said you're being 00:20:56.960 arrested. 00:20:58.880 >> I was confused on what I was being 00:21:00.400 arrested for. I mean, the same police 00:21:02.799 officers that arrested me gave me 00:21:04.640 permission to do exactly what I was 00:21:06.400 doing. 00:21:06.960 >> You can film from the sidewalk wherever 00:21:08.960 is public, right? But you can't go on 00:21:10.720 that property. If you do, you'll be 00:21:11.760 charged. Okay. 00:21:12.480 >> Okay. Yeah, for sure. 00:21:13.520 >> I got arrested for just doing what the 00:21:15.520 police told me to do. What's even more 00:21:17.600 confusing is the police are supposed to 00:21:19.760 be the good guys. Why are they arresting 00:21:22.080 an innocent person to protect an evil 00:21:24.559 criminal? Well, back when I was still 00:21:27.120 waiting in the car to serve Josh, I got 00:21:29.360 a phone call. And this call was from 00:21:31.520 Brian, the collector's son, who got all 00:21:33.760 their stuff stolen, and he has a theory 00:21:36.320 of what might be going on here. 00:21:38.080 >> Yeah, the cops down there are definitely 00:21:39.760 all in with the Mormon community, and 00:21:41.760 being that bricks and mini figs is part 00:21:44.159 of that and worth millions. I would not 00:21:46.159 doubt that they have donated hefty sums 00:21:48.880 to the Mormon church, of which all the 00:21:51.679 cops are probably a part of. 00:21:53.600 >> Yeah. Brandon Best, Joshua Johnson, and 00:21:56.880 Aean the CEO are all super Mormon. Like 00:22:00.640 the CEO even went to the Mormon 00:22:03.039 University. And when I looked up all the 00:22:04.720 police officers who are treating me 00:22:06.159 unfairly, they were all Mormon, too. And 00:22:09.280 they take care of their own, man. They 00:22:10.880 are like a huge clan that takes care of 00:22:13.360 each other. 00:22:14.080 >> And instead of trying to get rid of the 00:22:15.679 few bad people who are making Mormonism 00:22:17.600 look bad, they're for some reason 00:22:19.760 choosing to protect these criminals. But 00:22:21.919 eventually I got released from jail. 00:22:24.159 >> Got out of jail. 00:22:25.039 >> Out of jail now. 00:22:26.240 >> And this is when it really hit me that 00:22:28.400 the justice system has decided to 00:22:30.480 protect these criminals. So now there's 00:22:32.960 really only one way I can think of to 00:22:34.799 get this family the money back that got 00:22:36.799 stolen from them, which is a GoFundMe. 00:22:42.240 Yeah, it is a pretty anticlimactic 00:22:44.400 ending, but at least I'm confident that 00:22:46.880 I'm not going to get in trouble for 00:22:48.480 this. Now that our GoFundMe is live, 00:22:50.960 it's time to promote it, to start 00:22:52.640 getting donations. We printed out the 00:22:54.240 GoFundMe's picture to hang it up so we 00:22:56.559 could get a nice Instagram video to post 00:22:58.559 to social media. But before the group 00:23:00.480 could even hang the picture up, the 00:23:02.480 police came. 00:23:03.520 >> What you guys up to? 00:23:05.280 >> Uh, we're starting a GoFundMe. 00:23:07.679 >> Yeah. 00:23:08.240 >> What we're doing is we're going to get a 00:23:09.600 bunch of publicity to get uh basically 00:23:12.559 all this money back for this family. 00:23:14.480 >> Yeah. 00:23:14.799 >> You know, we're not going to do the the 00:23:16.159 the lawsuit anymore. We're just going to 00:23:17.840 do this GoFundMe. We've already got it 00:23:19.440 started. 00:23:20.080 >> It It can run into some defamation 00:23:22.320 stuff. 00:23:22.960 >> Again, the police were thinking of any 00:23:24.960 technicality they could think of to 00:23:26.640 protect their Mormon friends. 00:23:28.000 >> Look at your stalking code. See if see 00:23:30.240 if it's that. If it's not, we're going 00:23:31.679 to look at disorderly. If it's not 00:23:33.039 disorderly, then we're going to look at 00:23:34.320 the city ordinance. But after going 00:23:36.640 through every law they could think of, 00:23:38.720 it turns out that hanging this sign on a 00:23:40.799 fence and then taking a picture of it 00:23:42.240 for Instagram is not illegal. In fact, 00:23:44.960 what the group is doing is actually 00:23:46.720 protected under the First Amendment 00:23:48.799 freedom of speech. So, one of the police 00:23:50.960 officers let the group know that they're 00:23:53.039 okay to keep doing this. 00:23:54.320 >> Right now, I don't think he has. 00:23:56.080 >> But this other police officer wasn't 00:23:58.000 able to accept this reality. We're going 00:24:00.240 to take it down. 00:24:04.559 >> And then for the rest of this footage, 00:24:06.080 the police redacted all of the audio. 00:24:08.559 So, I called up the police station to 00:24:10.080 find out why. All the redactions are 00:24:12.400 done pursuant to the Utah State Code. We 00:24:14.799 don't redact things just because we feel 00:24:16.880 like it or, you know, just because 00:24:18.640 something looks funny. Everything is 00:24:20.880 redacted pursuant to Utah State Code. 00:24:23.600 And other than that, I I can't really 00:24:25.919 delve into any more detail. 00:24:27.279 >> But the police made a mistake. They 00:24:29.200 accidentally forgot to mute this police 00:24:30.880 officer's audio. So when you sync the 00:24:32.480 two clips together, I can actually hear 00:24:34.159 what they're saying here. 00:24:35.279 >> He sees it or 00:24:38.159 >> is it an official crime? Is it 00:24:40.159 disorderly conduct? 00:24:41.760 >> Why 00:24:42.159 >> is he upset about it? 00:24:44.159 >> I mean, 00:24:46.000 >> I guess, but that's not 00:24:47.840 >> Yeah, this police officer is right. Just 00:24:50.240 because this might make Josh upset does 00:24:52.240 not make this poster illegal. So, I 00:24:54.320 decided to let the police department 00:24:55.600 know that some of the redactions they 00:24:57.440 made aren't exactly what they're 00:24:58.960 claiming they are. I think you guys 00:25:00.480 might have accidentally forgot to redact 00:25:02.320 another clip that was at the same time. 00:25:04.559 And when I synced the two clips 00:25:05.760 together, I was able to see what they 00:25:07.039 were saying, like what the redaction 00:25:08.559 was. And he was talking about how what 00:25:11.520 we're doing actually isn't illegal and 00:25:13.679 how the police officer might be wrong. 00:25:16.480 And so it wasn't about a protecting a 00:25:19.679 victim. It wasn't any personal 00:25:21.360 information. And so I was wonder, it 00:25:24.159 seems like there might be a lot of stuff 00:25:25.360 like that that got redacted. Maybe to 00:25:27.279 protect the police officers, not to 00:25:29.600 protect the victims, if that makes 00:25:30.960 sense. And so 00:25:32.559 >> yeah, we don't do that. So, like I said, 00:25:34.559 anything that's redacted is pursuant to 00:25:36.320 Utah State code. 00:25:37.440 >> I can tell because when I sync the two 00:25:38.880 clips together, I'm actually able to see 00:25:40.320 that that's what the redaction was. 00:25:43.440 >> Okay. Well, that didn't happen. 00:25:45.200 >> That that definitely didn't happen. 00:25:48.960 >> No, I don't do that, Ben. I follow the 00:25:51.120 Utah State code like I just said. 00:25:53.919 >> Okay. Uh 00:25:57.760 I don't know. It seems like the police 00:25:59.919 department redacted this entire 00:26:01.679 conversation because right here the 00:26:03.840 police are actually admitting to 00:26:05.120 themselves that none of this is illegal, 00:26:07.440 but they're still going to try to arrest 00:26:08.960 us anyways. It seems like the only 00:26:10.960 reason they're getting rid of this audio 00:26:12.799 is to protect the police officers from 00:26:14.880 getting fired. I don't know what the 00:26:16.559 police officers are saying in this next 00:26:18.080 clip, but I'm pretty sure they're 00:26:20.000 scheming up a way to get the group 00:26:21.600 arrested because this is what happens 00:26:24.080 next. Um, and Lieutenant Lieutenant 00:26:26.640 Adamson can correct me if I'm wrong, but 00:26:28.000 we're going to seize your phone right 00:26:28.880 now. Let me see. 00:26:31.440 >> Don't do not do that. You understand me? 00:26:34.480 Right now, you're you're attempting to 00:26:35.840 destroy evidence. 00:26:37.039 >> Okay, put your hands behind your back. 00:26:38.799 >> I was just locking my phone. 00:26:40.400 >> Okay, I'm going to switch over to the 00:26:41.600 police officer's body cam POV so we can 00:26:44.240 dissect what just happened. First, the 00:26:46.159 police officer asks if he can confiscate 00:26:48.159 Sheldon's phone. So, Sheldon says, 00:26:50.080 "Okay." And reaches in his pocket to 00:26:52.240 give it to him. But at this point, 00:26:54.320 Sheldon sees that his phone is unlocked. 00:26:56.640 And at this moment, he decided that 00:26:58.960 before giving it to the police officer, 00:27:00.799 he was going to lock his phone, which is 00:27:03.200 totally legal. There is no search 00:27:05.120 warrant. So Sheldon is legally allowed 00:27:07.279 to lock his phone. But as the police 00:27:08.880 officer saw Sheldon's thumb moving 00:27:10.799 towards that lock button, he snatched it 00:27:13.120 out of his hands. And now the police 00:27:14.640 officer's claiming that because he tried 00:27:16.400 to lock his phone, he's destroying 00:27:18.240 evidence. Silence. 00:27:19.360 >> Yeah, I was giving it to you. Stop 00:27:20.400 talking. 00:27:20.960 >> I was giving it to you. 00:27:22.080 >> Okay. It's on my It's on my money. Look, 00:27:24.880 it's on my wallet. I was turning it off 00:27:26.880 >> right now. This phone is being seized as 00:27:28.159 part of this investigation and you're 00:27:29.600 being you're being arrested. Okay, let's 00:27:31.600 put him in the back of the car. 00:27:36.880 >> And again, the police decided to break 00:27:39.279 the law, arrest Sheldon, all to protect 00:27:42.480 an evil criminal. 00:27:59.520 Okay, my name is Detective Nicoa. I work 00:28:01.760 here at the police department. 00:28:03.520 >> I did willingly hand over my phone, but 00:28:05.600 when I handed him my phone, my wallet 00:28:07.840 popped up. So, I said, "Hold up. Let me 00:28:09.360 hit my power button." And, you know, I 00:28:10.799 have it recorded as wel
