0:00 Three more up outside everybody. No, no, no. Don’t Don’t move. This is the story of how I got swatted. All because of Legos. The whole thing started with me investigating a Lego company called Bricks and Minifigs. The company \[music\] sent two guys to steal the world’s largest Star Wars Lego collection worth around $200,000. And for some reason, the police are \[music\] helping them get away with it.
0:23 The family reached out to me saying that I’m their last hope \[music\] to get them their life savings back. \[snorts\] The video I made exposing them was actually insane. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. But we ended \[music\] up taking them to court and we actually won. When I went back to the store to collect my money, they literally shut down the entire store just to avoid paying us.
0:43 Dang it. So, \[music\] I personally gave them an official closing ceremony and it went extremely viral. And now the entire world has seen how corrupt this bricks \[music\] and mini figs company is. We didn’t get the Legos back. But I mean, we shut down an entire business. We didn’t get the We still had to get the Legos back. Yeah. I made a promise to this family that I was not going to stop on my journey until \[music\] we get them their entire Lego collection back.
1:09 Right now, the two owners, Joshua Johnson and Brandon Best, probably think that they’re safe by closing out the store. But the reality is, I can literally just sue them all over again. but personally this time. So I started to file my lawsuit. But right after I filed this court case, it got rejected. And \[snorts\] the reason was I failed to demonstrate a good faith effort to resolve the dispute prior to filing.
1:33 Basically, before this court case could approve, I have to at least attempt to settle with Josh outside of court first. I tried calling Josh, but I’m blocked. I’m sorry, man. So, my only option left is to \[music\] travel to his house to have this conversation in person. Basically, if Josh wants to save the day, I got him a trophy that says, “Josshua Johnson saved the day.” And uh we’ll give him this trophy, but he has to give the Legos back first.
2:00 So, we started driving to Josh’s house to have this good faith conversation the court requires us to have. Uh we’re in Josh’s neighborhood. Oh my gosh. But when we showed up, Josh was already outside talking on the phone to someone. Oh my gosh. Okay, Josh is outside on the phone. It’s crazy. Wait, do I interrupt his phone call or do we just like wait interrupt his phone call? No, probably not.
2:24 I thought it would be pretty rude to interrupt his phone call. So, we parked around the corner and decided to wait for him to get off this call. I like how he’s just having this conversation outside, right? He doesn’t want to get his wife involved. He’s hiding something. Everything’s good, honey. What the heck? I’m pretty sure Josh is on the phone with corporate Bricks and Mini Figs. And the reason I think that is we were actually just there right before this.
2:50 Okay, pulling up to Bricks and Mini Figs headquarters. The plan was to give them one more chance to do the right thing before suing them again. While we were there, one of the corporate employees answered the door and told us he would get the CEO to come talk to us. Hello, guys. Hello. I’ll be here. No, they said they’re getting some guy to talk to us. Um, we’re just waiting. I can’t tell you right now, no one no one’s coming out to talk to you guys like that, but they told us that they were. I know.
3:18 Since Josh only lives like 15 minutes away, they must have informed him that we’re in the area because a few minutes later, this happened, dude. The police just showed up. What the heck? Why are the police in his house? Oh, there’s another one, dude. Two cop cars. Three cop cars. Cop cars. There’s Why is there three cop cars in this house? We didn’t even walk up to his house yet.
3:41 The cops are following us. What the heck? That’s so crazy, dude. Obey every traffic law. He’s got his lights on. Oh, shoot. He’s pulling us over. My name’s Americanore Police. The reason I stopped here was the stop sign. I didn’t. No, I thought I stopped. Yeah, you definitely stopped. Did you say you ran at a stop sign? Yeah. You said you ran a stop sign. I didn’t see what happened. Yeah, I was like cuz we definitely stopped at the stop sign. Yeah, I was so sure that we stopped at the stop sign that I actually requested all the police footage of this. And as you can see, we didn’t even do a rolling stop. We fully stopped at the stop sign. So, this is an illegal traffic stop.
4:23 So, who’s Ben? Uh, me. Ben, how’s Utah? It’s good. You like it? Okay. It’s pretty obvious that the police know why we’re here. So, I just explained to them the entire situation. This old man spent his life, entire life collecting the world’s largest Star Wars Lego collection set. The only problem is it’s a crazy story and the police officer did not believe me. $200,000. $200,000.
4:50 $200,000. It sounds crazy. Yeah. When the officer went back to his car, this is the message that he radioed in. Hey, can you get the contact for Reckless Ben? said he didn’t have his ID, but he’s just straight lying to me about everything else. So, since the cops don’t believe my story, they trespassed me from the property. Everybody today is being trespassed from that property. Okay.
5:12 Yeah. We were forced to go home without having this good faith conversation the court requires us to have. Yeah. What do we do now, dude? Like, we didn’t even like get to talk to him and we’re already trespass. Go, dude. But one thing I didn’t understand was how the heck did they know we were coming? I was hiding in the back seat the entire time and the car’s windows are extremely tinted.
5:32 These windows are so tinted that you can’t see anything. But as I was outside inspecting our car tent, the same police showed up to our house. Oh no, we’re going to pull over again. And it was weird. He wouldn’t tell us why he was here. Like I said, we’ve already talked about Yeah. Well, thanks for being so cool about everything. They’re like after us, dude. Anyways, since Josh clearly doesn’t want to have this good faith conversation with me, I took his trophy and destroyed it.
6:00 \[music\] Well, guys, let’s let’s throw it off that thing. Just like in \[music\] the previous video, I tried to give Josh the benefit of the doubt, the easy way. \[music\] But again, Josh does not want to do the easy way. The only option left is to go the \[music\] hard way. Yeah. But before going the hard way, I actually remembered that there’s another owner of the store named Brandon Best.
6:28 Brandon is the guy in the security camera footage that illegally kicked the first owner out of the store so he could steal all their Legos. I tried calling him, but I am also blocked. I’m sorry. The only option left is to show up to his house. Hello. Hey, how’s it going? Huh? Hey. Well, I was wondering if uh you’d be down to pay us for the lawsuit that we won. It kind of seems like Brandon doesn’t want to have this good faith conversation to resolve this problem outside of court. and I gave him plenty of time to speak.
7:21 I guess if you don’t want to talk, I’ll just talk. Um, so you guys told us to take you to court. We went to court and we won. We know you closed down the store to avoid paying us. So, um, we could just sue you guys personally and do the whole thing again. We would obviously win again. But, but then the police showed up and again, for some reason, they are really trying to protect these criminals. He didn’t steal anything. He inherited the store from somebody else. No, he stole $200,000 worth. How do you know this?
7:51 Cuz I’ve been spending the last 3 months in the case and I won in court. He inherited the store. He’s being blamed for everything that the previous owner did and he’s trying to Well, that’s a lie. So, we Okay, hold on. Okay. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. He’s still trying to clean up the mess from the previous owner and now he’s catching blame for it and he’s just trying to clean up the mess from the previous owner. No, him saying that it’s the previous owner, that’s a lie. And we have like we already proved this in court.
8:18 You come back and set foot on this property. You’re going to go to jail. The police gave me a formal trespass notice, which I took a picture of it and sent it to the court as proof I tried to have this good faith conversation, but Brandon didn’t want to have it with me. And turns out this was good enough. My court case with Brandon Best got accepted, but my court case with Josh is still going to be rejected until I find a way to have this good faith conversation with him. So, I decided to see if I could find Josh online to see if I could look up any more information about him.
8:51 Yeah. What? They look the same. No. Joshua Johnson. Yeah. Joshua Johnson. We lower their \[music\] tax liabilities and minimize their exposure to lawsuits. That’s hella ironic. Are you kidding me, dude? That’s what he’s known for is a reducing people’s exposure to lawsuits. After some more research, we found out that both Josh and Brandon are super hardcore Mormon, which was actually extremely surprising to me because if Josh and Brandon are truly Mormons, that they believe that stealing is wrong and if they steal, they’re going to go to hell. Or I guess in Mormonism they call it the outer darkness. But still, Brandon and Josh probably actually believed that this is going to be eternity for them. I mean, Josh even swore to me \[music\] on his Mormon God in the last video that he would give us the Legos back.
9:39 I I promise you. I swear to God. I promise you on everything. But maybe I can use this to my advantage. My problem right now seems to be that Josh is never going to listen to anything I ever tell him. But if someone from his church heard this audio, maybe he would listen to them. So, after finding exactly what church these guys go to, we went to it and showed one of the Mormons there this audio clip. And the Mormon thought that the best thing to do was to have a talk with Josh to save him from going to this outer darkness. Okay, good luck.
10:12 And I guess me and Tyler are staying back cuz we’re already trespassed. So, yeah, we ended up just driving home, but on our way back, this happened. What? Pull over again. For what? How’s it going? How’s it going? I’m officer Hawkins, American Port Police Department. How you doing? Good. How are you? Good. Well, what’s your name? Uh, are you Ben hanging out down here? At this point, we realized what’s going on. Yesterday, I told Brandon that our plan is to now sue them personally.
10:49 We could just sue you guys personally and do the whole thing again. we would obviously win again. It seems like they’re getting so desperate that they’re going to resort back to the same strategy they used in the last video. You know what’s really funny is after you left, I got a call from my boss and it was like, “How do we get them arrested?” Dang. How do we get them arrested?
11:06 Yeah. Josh and Brandon think that if they can somehow get us arrested and thrown in jail, then we won’t be able to sue them. I don’t know what they told the police we did this time, but they caught us too late. The Mormon kid was already on his way to Josh’s \[music\] house to save him from this outer darkness and bring him back to God. How’s it going, sir? You been s down here for me for a pretty s What brings you here?
11:30 Uh, I’m just here trying to talk to brother Johnson. Okay. I’m in the second world. There’s been an audio going around with the young men group. Okay. What’s the audio that you wanted to play? Here’s the audio. I’m not going to screw you. You have my word. That’s not who I am. Uhhuh. I promise you. I swear to God everything. Who’s that? I guess that’s him. No, I know that. I can tell that from the voice. But I was just going to ask him like is he willing to give up everything like he said cuz he swore on everything. He swore on God.
12:06 This might be a crazy ask, but could you take a selfie with him? But anyways, back to us. The police apparently got a call that we had heroin on us. This officer is going to conduct the search of the person because substances in the vehicle. Really? So he’s going to do that. I’m going to put this away and then be right. Don’t go. Don’t reach in your pockets. Okay. Thank you. The vehicle will be searched. Okay.
12:32 I’m going to have you stick by my sergeant. \[music\] After two hours of searching the car, obviously they found no drugs. So, can you find anyone? I explained to the police that we didn’t have drugs and the reality of the situation is is that Bricks and Minigs is so desperate at this point that they’re willing to do anything to get us arrested so they don’t have to pay for the property they stole. And the police was arguing back with just some of the worst comebacks I’ve ever heard. Which is why I think the police actually redacted this audio in this clip because if they kept the audio in, then the world would get to see how stupid the American Fork Police Department is. But anyways, even though we were passing every single drug test they gave us, they were still not going to let us go until we told them where the drugs were.
13:26 Your eyes for example, right? Right. There’s a construction which is dilated and then you see it. So I haven’t been looking. Look, look at him. Oh, look at you. Yeah. You do see it. So it’s crazy. I have no idea cuz I’ve never done any drugs in my life. I don’t do drugs. I don’t do alcohol. I’ve never done any of that in my life. I’m willing to do any drug tests. Like I’m very cooperative. I don’t understand Yeah. what you’re seeing in my eyes.
13:57 Um, I’m going to have a discussion with this officer. And then the police department illegally redacted this conversation, too. My guess is that they acknowledged that it’s very obvious we don’t have drugs on us, but they were going to try and pressure us into giving some type of false confession. Anyways, I’m not sure if you’re lying to me or not. To be honest, I I’m willing to take any drug test you want.
14:19 Walking a very dangerous line, which get you hooked up a lot. Yeah. And you could end up in jail and you talk when you’re from Cali. Okay. Not worth it, right? Yeah. Yeah. We play differently here. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. I’m willing to cooperate with you guys and do anything you want me to cuz I’m not hiding anything. I pro I can promise you that. I promise. We weren’t giving the police a false confession like they wanted. So eventually, I guess they just got tired and let us go.
14:45 We’ll let you guys go now, but you’re walking a thin line. Just be mindful of that. Does that make sense? Okay. At this point, I’ve documented everything I’ve been through to the court that I’ve tried to have this good faith conversation with Josh. He just doesn’t want to have it with me. And because of everything I went through, my court case finally got approved. And attached to this email are court papers to serve Josh. The only problem is Josh is not going to open this door for anyone. He wouldn’t even talk to another Mormon. Instead, he just called the police on him. In order to get Josh to come outside, I’m really gonna have to get creative. So, I made this poster that says, “I stole a dying man’s life savings.” And printed it out. Now, I’m placing this poster in a public space right \[music\] across the street from Josh’s house. Yeah. It turns out this tiny patch of land is actually free for any person of the public to use. And since we have the freedom of speech, I
15:38 am breaking no laws by doing this. So, when Josh walks outside to take down this sign, I have a process server to serve him his court papers. But almost immediately, my sign got blocked. Oh no, he’s blocking our sign. What are you What are you guys doing here? Uh, so we are in a court case with them and we have to serve him legal papers. So I explained to the cops the entire situation. I’m not going on his property. Right. No, that’s fine. That’s fine.
16:08 The police realized that we’re not breaking any laws and they’ve been called here for a false reason. So they decided to leave. Awesome. Thank you. This is going so much better than yesterday. So, now it’s time to serve Josh these court papers. And then we got the police calling us again. Hello. This man stole uh basically his family’s life savings. So, we’re just here to serve him his court papers.
16:33 Again, I explained to this police officer the entire situation. I wish we could just send him an email or a phone call, you know, but uh yeah, the court requires us to come in person for some reason. So, Again, the cops realized that we are doing nothing illegal and decided to leave. Now, it’s time to serve Josh his court papers, but we got the police caught on us again. Hello. Can I see those papers?
16:58 Yeah. So, this is what you’re trying to serve them with? Yes. That’s uh required by the court. Again, the police agree that we are not breaking the law. They’ve been caught out here for a false reason. This guy told me that he could even just serve the papers for me. You okay if I get these papers to him? Uh, yeah, for sure. Okay, just give me one minute. Okay, thank you. Sadly, we can’t see the police officer serve Josh because the police department redacted all of it. But the only thing that really matters is that Josh is getting served.
17:30 He does not want the paper. So, he does not want the papers. Here’s that back for you. Yeah, the police told me that they can’t serve the papers for me because I’m lying to them and these aren’t even real court papers. Not sure what this is. I’ve never seen something like that um to be honest with you. Well, these are court papers. Okay. It doesn’t have a judge’s name or anything like that on it.
17:52 Uh because it hasn’t gotten to the judge yet. So, this is serving him and then we’ll go to the court and then the judge will be there. So, the judge doesn’t get involved until we’re in court. Why is he saying that you guys would have property? Cuz he wants us arrested so he doesn’t have to go to court. It doesn’t look good when you’ve been trespassed. Yeah. Trying to serve papers. Well, I think it looks exactly how uh we’re supposed to do it legally. This is the legal way to do it. Well, we we have two or three incidents.
18:17 Yeah. Well, first, so their instance because he’s lying to you guys. He’s making them incidents. Uh we came to do a good faith conversation, which is required by the courts before you can get a court case approved. So, we did that. He called the cops on us. He’s he lied to you guys saying that we had heroin on us. And we did a three-hour search of the car yesterday. We found no heroin in the car. He’s he’s going to make up any lie he can to get us arrested. We are doing things the legal way, the correct way. The reason he’s hiding in his house is because he’s the criminal. It’s if something doesn’t look good, it doesn’t look good for him, not for us.
18:49 Go the legal process. Find actual process server. She is an actual process server. And what is your guys’s relationship? Uh I just met her today. Well, maybe just have someone not affiliated with you. Uh that’s her. Yeah, she’s We have no relationship. That’s why she’s here. Yeah. That’s why she’s here. We have no relationship and that is who \[snorts\] she is the exact person that you’re describing.
19:12 I always thought that the police were supposed to remain unbiased and if they were going to take a side, they definitely shouldn’t take the side of the criminal, but I guess I was wrong. However, I’m not doing anything illegal. I’m literally just following the instructions of the court. So, the police can’t stop me. Okay, I’m going to erase your Okay, see you. Now that the police are finally leaving, it’s time to game plan how to serve Josh. \[music\] But then, you guessed it, we got the police called on us again.
19:51 Oh, sure. The paper. The serving paper. Yeah. Here you go. Well, they think it’s a false case. What the heck? Thank you for holding. How can I help you? Trying to speak with someone to verify if a uh case is just verify if a case is real. Yeah, looks like a a real small claim’s case in our court. Okay, thank you for your help. Um that’s all for Thank you. I think this phone call was the breaking point for the police. Oh, he’s rubbing his chin.
20:29 The police couldn’t handle the fact that I was right and they were wrong. \[music\] Hello for me. Okay. Okay. Find you back. Am I being arrested? Under arrest right now. Really? Ben got arrested. Like they didn’t say anything when they were putting him in handcuffs. They just said you’re being arrested. I was confused on what I was being arrested for. I mean, the same police officers that arrested me gave me permission to do exactly what I was doing.
21:06 You can film from the sidewalk wherever is public, right? But you can’t go on that property. If you do, you’ll be charged. Okay. Okay. Yeah, for sure. I got arrested for just doing what the police told me to do. What’s even more confusing is the police are supposed to be the good guys. Why are they arresting an innocent person to protect an evil criminal? Well, back when I was still waiting in the car to serve Josh, I got a phone call. And this call was from Brian, the collector’s son, who got all their stuff stolen, and he has a theory of what might be going on here.
21:38 Yeah, the cops down there are definitely all in with the Mormon community, and being that bricks and mini figs is \[music\] part of that and worth millions. I would not doubt that they have donated hefty sums to the Mormon church, \[music\] of which all the cops are probably a part of. Yeah. Brandon Best, Joshua Johnson, and Aean the CEO are all super Mormon. Like the CEO even went to the Mormon University. And when I looked up all the police officers who are treating me unfairly, they were all Mormon, too. And they take care of their own, man.
22:10 \[music\] They are like a huge clan that takes care of each other. And instead of trying to get rid of the few bad people who are making Mormonism look bad, they’re for some reason choosing to protect these criminals. But eventually I got released from jail. Got out of jail. Out of jail now. And this is when it really hit me that the justice system has decided to protect these criminals. So now there’s really only one way I can think of to get this family the money back that got stolen from them, which is a GoFundMe.
22:42 Yeah, it is a pretty anticlimactic ending, but at least I’m confident that I’m not going to get in trouble for this. Now that our GoFundMe is live, it’s time to promote it, to start getting donations. We printed out the GoFundMe’s picture to hang it up so we could get a nice Instagram video to post to social media. But before the group could even hang the picture up, the police came. What you guys up to? Uh, we’re starting a GoFundMe.
23:07 Yeah. What we’re doing is we’re going to get a bunch of publicity to get uh basically all this money back for this family. Yeah. You know, we’re not going to do the the the lawsuit anymore. We’re just going to do this GoFundMe. We’ve already got it started. It It can run into some defamation stuff. Again, the police were thinking of any technicality they could think of to protect their Mormon friends.
23:28 Look at your stalking code. See if see if it’s that. If it’s not, we’re going to look at disorderly. If it’s not disorderly, then we’re going to look at the city ordinance. But after going through every law they could think of, it turns out that hanging this sign on a fence and then taking a picture of it for Instagram is not illegal. In fact, what the group is doing is actually protected under the First Amendment freedom of speech. So, one of the police officers let the group know that they’re okay to keep doing this.
23:54 Right now, I don’t think he has. But this other police officer wasn’t able to accept this reality. We’re going to take it down. And then for the rest of this footage, the police redacted all of the audio. So, I called up the police station to find out why. All the redactions are done pursuant to the Utah State Code. We don’t redact things just because we feel like it or, you know, just because something looks funny. Everything is redacted pursuant to Utah State Code.
24:23 And other than that, I I can’t really delve into any more detail. But the police made a mistake. They accidentally forgot to mute this police officer’s audio. So when you sync the two clips together, I can actually hear what they’re saying here. He sees it or is it an official crime? Is it disorderly conduct? Why is he upset about it? I mean, I guess, but that’s not Yeah, this police officer is right. Just because this might make Josh upset does not make this poster illegal. So, I decided to let the police department know that some of the redactions they made aren’t exactly what they’re claiming they are. I think you guys might have accidentally forgot to redact another clip that was at the same time.
25:04 And when I synced the two clips together, I was able to see what they were saying, like what the redaction was. And he was talking about how what we’re doing actually isn’t illegal and how the police officer might be wrong. And so it wasn’t about a protecting a victim. It wasn’t any personal information. And so I was wonder, it seems like there might be a lot of stuff like that that got redacted. Maybe to protect the police officers, not to protect the victims, if that makes sense. And so yeah, we don’t do that. So, like I said, anything that’s redacted is pursuant to Utah State code.
25:37 I can tell because when I sync the two clips together, I’m actually able to see that that’s what the redaction was. Okay. Well, that didn’t happen. That that definitely didn’t happen. No, I don’t do that, Ben. I follow the Utah State code like I just said. Okay. Uh I don’t know. It seems like the police department redacted this entire conversation because right here the police are actually admitting to themselves that none of this is illegal, but they’re still going to try to arrest us anyways. It seems like the only reason they’re getting rid of this audio is to protect the police officers from getting fired. I don’t know what the police officers are saying in this next clip, but I’m pretty sure they’re scheming up a way to get the group arrested because this is what happens next. Um, and Lieutenant Lieutenant Adamson can correct me if I’m wrong, but we’re going to seize your phone right now. Let me see.
26:31 Don’t do not do that. You understand me? Right now, you’re you’re attempting to destroy evidence. Okay, put your hands behind your back. I was just locking my phone. Okay, I’m going to switch over to the police officer’s body cam POV so we can dissect what just happened. First, the police officer asks if he can confiscate Sheldon’s phone. So, Sheldon says, “Okay.” And reaches in his pocket to give it to him. But at this point, Sheldon sees that his phone is unlocked.
26:56 And at this moment, he decided that before giving it to the police officer, he was going to lock his phone, which is totally legal. There is no search warrant. So Sheldon is legally allowed to lock his phone. But as the police officer saw Sheldon’s thumb moving towards that lock button, he snatched it out of his hands. And now the police officer’s claiming that because he tried to lock his phone, he’s destroying evidence. Silence.
27:19 Yeah, I was giving it to you. Stop talking. I was giving it to you. Okay. It’s on my It’s on my money. Look, it’s on my wallet. I was turning it off right now. This phone is being seized as part of this investigation and you’re being you’re being arrested. Okay, let’s put him in the back of the car. \[music\] And again, the police decided to break the law, arrest Sheldon, all to protect an evil criminal. \[music\] \[music\] \[music\] Okay, my name is Detective Nicoa. I work here at the police department.
28:03 I did willingly hand over my phone, but when I handed him my phone, my wallet popped up. So, I said, “Hold up. Let me hit my power button.” And, you know, I have it recorded as well. That’s all I went and did. That’s not obstruction of evidence. And then I let him have the phone. I wasn’t trying to delete anything. In fact, it is actually impossible to delete something from an iPhone from a locked screen by hitting the power button. So, in no context could I have been trying to erase something by hitting one button on my phone. Now, I’m sure you have a phone as well. When you hit the power button, that doesn’t delete anything, does it? I imagine it wouldn’t. Yeah.
28:34 Yeah. That’s all I did. Um, so I don’t know how that’s obstruction of evidence, but that is what it is. Now that Sheldon is in jail just for promoting \[music\] our GoFundMe, we started doubting if we’ll ever even be able to get Brian his money back for his dad’s Lego collection. \[music\] It’s crazy that out of all the powerful organizations I’ve gone up against, the one company I’m not able to beat is a Lego company. I literally couldn’t have \[music\] imagined a worse ending for this video, but I had no clue that it was about to get way worse.
29:13 for a police department. Make yourself known. Search. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t Don’t move like that. You understand me? Don’t move like that. Okay. Yeah. This cop pulled my arm so far back it dislocated my shoulder. He claims it’s because I was attempting to make an escape or something. Don’t move like that. \[music\] You understand me? Don’t move like that. Don’t move quick. Everybody just chill.
29:44 But if we go back a little bit, you can see I was being completely still when he grabbed me and I actually made zero quick movements. So, this police officer is just straight up lying so he can give me a serious injury. Included in the warrant are Legos. Yes, the police department got an official warrant to search our house for stolen Legos. I should have seen this coming. Josh did threaten me in the last video that if I go out and actually try to sue him, he’s going to come out and say that I’m the one that stole the Legos.
30:16 Okay, let’s do it. \[ \_\_ \] you, man. You stole them, \[ \_\_ \] I stole the Legos. Yeah, you’re \[ \_\_ \] thief. Okay, you can shut the \[ \_\_ \] up. That’s your \[ \_\_ \] choice. I’m going to fast forward a little bit just to give you guys some context, but I actually got a copy of this warrant. The reason they were searching our house was um it says there is now certain property or evidence described as any stolen merchandise, specifically Lego merchandise. Evidence of illegal conduct on us that we stole the Legos.
30:49 They’re looking that we stole the Legos is why they stormed our house with no evidence. And this is after he’s been proven to make up stories about us before. And so now he’s just pulling something out of his butt. Oh, they’re the ones that stole the Legos. And the for whatever reason, the police take him seriously, even though he’s acting like a crazy person. Anyways, the cops probably felt pretty stupid when they searched our entire house and didn’t find any stolen Legos. Again, the police illegally redacted this conversation to avoid them looking stupid, but I’m pretty sure that’s what they were talking about. But instead of doing what any rational police officer would do and let us go, they’re sticking to their story that we’re the thieves.
31:31 You caught \[singing and music\] my eyes and I’ got a feeling I’m falling right through \[music\] \[singing\] \[music\] that. \[music\] Yes. Now the entire group, we are all on our way to jail. Except for me, I got taken to an interrogation room so they could find some reason to lock \[music\] me up for good. Then I’m Detective Nico. Last time I was able to get released on bail. This time they’re requesting that I be held in jail a month until my court date. But there’s honestly nothing \[music\] for me to hide. So I went through the entire story with them to show the detective that this whole thing is just a big misunderstanding. I mean, if you think about it, 83y old man versus $400 million company.
32:51 Even though the $400 million company’s in the wrong, they’re going to win. You know, I wish we could just send him an email like show up to court this day. That would be so easy for us. But this is how the law works. Like that’s not my fault. Like I don’t make the law. If I made the law, send him an email and they’re like, “He doesn’t want your papers. You just have to figure out civily.” And I’m like, “This is the civil method, you know, like to do it civily. You have to serve.” They’re like, “Well, then just sue him then.”
33:14 I’m like that’s what we’re doing. Like like you see how this is a circle. I I am very interested on Josh’s side of the story because I think he said might we had heroin in the car or something and they did like a 3-hour search on our car. Obviously no heroin. So I don’t know what Josh is telling them to that we’re doing. But suing him is not working for us. So let’s do a GoFundMe.
33:39 But right after I mentioned this GoFundMe, the investigator wanted to leave the room. hang tight here and then I’ll be back with you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Something about me mentioning this GoFundMe really caught his attention. All right. Good. Well, I just like to know more about this like GoFundMe. I like I said, I have no idea what’s going on. Yeah. We were just trying to get um So, basically what ended up happening is Ben got arrested, which we were pretty blown away. He got arrested, but I’m like, “All right, I’ll take over now. Like, I don’t want you to get in any more trouble.” And he’s like, “Yeah, I can’t get in any more trouble.” Like, like if you take over, like that’s, you know, that was my decision. Um, yeah. So, I mean, I don’t know. What What other questions do you like I guess have because there’s not really I guess much else to say in the situation to be honest. That’s just the whole thing that
34:22 just happened. I mean, I’m honestly like kind of shocked to be arrested at this point um for that. Um, yeah, this is definitely a very strange thing to be getting interrogated about, especially considering from my angle and the evidence I’ve seen, the overwhelming evidence um, that they just blatantly stole from this guy. It’s like us trying to then do a GoFundMe \[music\] to get him his money back and I’m the one, you know, getting put in coughs. It’s crazy.
34:51 I guess the detective didn’t get what he was looking for, so he decided to interview the rest of the group. sounded like a great project to me. I was like, “Okay, like it’s for a good cause. How are you doing?” And for some reason, he was trying to get all of them to admit that the GoFundMe was my idea. Hello. Obviously, Ben was behind the GoFundMe idea as well, right? I don’t know whose idea that was cuz I kind of just started I think but he was supportive of it as his channel, right? He said, “Oh yeah, let’s do this for the channel.” From my understanding.
35:23 Was that kind of your \[music\] ideas to do this video with the GoFundMe and all that? But I wasn’t afraid to admit that I actually made the GoFundMe for Brian because a GoFundMe is a safe, legal way to raise money for a family if they got all their stuff stolen. I should be risking nothing by admitting this. Basically, the police told me, “Do not take this man to court or else he’ll get arrested.” And so I was like just thinking and we’re like, “Let’s do a GoFundMe, you know, and that was our solution.” But I was wrong.
35:54 We’re going to book you back into the jail. Okay. The creation of the GoFundMe, right? We’re blasting this person all over saying, “Hey, he’s So creating the GoFundMe was illegal.” When I asked the detective \[music\] how creating a GoFundMe was probable cause to send me to jail, this was his response. A lot of this stuff you may have to just get an attorney and just and fight it in in the criminal side of court, right? Should I back?
36:19 Yeah, go ahead and stand up. I got an officer right here that’s going to he has cuffs for you. We’ll also be able to hear Josh’s side of the story cuz I think he’s said a lot of lies to you guys. It’ll it’ll be and I never talked to Josh, but it’ll be documented in the report as well. Okay. Thank you so much. But the detective was lying. The police have illegally redacted every single claim Josh has made about me. And when I finally go to court, I’m going to \[music\] be completely blind to what I’m even being charged for.
36:47 The worst part is \[music\] is that the police officers took away my bail. So now I have to wait a month in jail. \[music\] However, I ended up getting extremely lucky. When a judge ended up reviewing this arrest, they thought the whole thing was so stupid and ended up releasing me on bail. So now at least I’m a free man until my court case. The illegal act that I committed was mentioning that Josh stole the Legos in our GoFundMe.
37:33 So if you if you say who the thief is, then that is illegal for us to do that. Now I just have to wait for court. \[music\] And honestly, I’m not excited. My entire life, I was taught if you steal from people, you get in trouble. \[music\] And if you help people, you get rewarded. But I guess I was just taught a lie. By me \[music\] trying to help and do the right thing, all I did was just screw everything up and get all of my friends in trouble. \[music\] I couldn’t fix anything. And now with all the charges I got in this video, I’m looking at at least 5 years in jail.
38:14 But I \[music\] finally accept my fate. I failed. And now \[music\] it’s time to go home. But before I made it home, one of my roommates called me saying that a police officer just showed up to our house. So he rings the doorbell and um he’s like, “Is Mr. Snider here?” I was like, “Why?” I was like, “Can I deliver a message for you?” He’s like, “How could you deliver a message?” He said it just like that.
38:46 He was like, “Just tell him he has a he has a warrant for his arrest.” Like he thought he was in an action movie type walkoff and that was his like end screen. If I had to guess, I’d say that Bricks and Mini Figs has seen that I am a free man and they can’t have me actively working on my lawsuit against them. And considering how many lies Bricks and Minigs has made about me in this video, \[ \_\_ \] you, man. You stole them, \[ \_\_ \] I stole the Legos.
39:17 American Park Police Department, make yourself known. Included in the warrant are Legos. I can only imagine of what I’m being accused of doing now. So immediately I called the Utah Police Department to see what my warrant was for. Someone showed up at my house today saying there was a warrant out for my arrest. It says if if that warrant has it says a no bail, those are the ones that are more serious.
39:40 The only thing the police department could tell me is that I do have a warrant, but this time the judge approved it that I will have no bail and I am now a \[music\] physical threat to Josh, the person the police are protecting. So basically at any moment now I could be arrested without bail for some mystery crime. There really is only one thing that I can do now. Well, I’m in Mexico now and the American police have no authority here.
40:09 What’s going on? What the heck is that thing? Do you think they let us on that? \[music\] But at this moment, I realized what I had to do. Bricks and Minifigs thinks they \[music\] can just bully anyone who tries to stop them in committing their crimes. And what’s the only way to stop a bully? To stand up to them. If me posting this picture online once got the city this upset where they had to arrest me, \[music\] just think about how upset they’d be if thousands of people started wearing it.
40:41 Which is why the picture that got me arrested, I’m putting that picture on a shirt. And you can buy this merch at wee steal from oldpeople.com. \[music\] So go right now. It’s going to be sick. And yeah, all of the law enforcement \[music\] that’s protecting Bricks and Mini Figs is going to be pissed. But there’s nothing they can do because I’m in Mexico. Anyways, part three is now live on my Patreon at \[music\] patreon.com/lesben.
41:08 Also on Patreon, you’ll find tons of behind-the-scenes content, plus the movie I made that all the streaming services rejected once they saw how gnarly it was. And all of the money I make goes directly towards trying to fight Bricks and mini figs so they stop doing bad things to people. Also, make sure to donate to the GoFundMe we set up for Brian. I’m not really sure if I’m allowed to promote this. I mean, I got arrested just for creating this thing, but I’m going to do it anyways.
41:32 Everyone, donate to this GoFundMe. I’m in Mexico now. The police can’t do anything to me
