My entire Interrogation footage

Heck yeah man.

Oh my sweet summer child. I'm glad you got legal representation eventually

Wait I didn't know you guys won a lawsuit against these guys when did that happen? But hell yes!

Bruh... throwing us atheists under the bus... We have morals, too. Sorry to be a humbug on this. Just a pet-peeve of mine. I've been a long-time advocate for atheists and trying to combat this stereotype. I've given lectures on ethics and morals of non-believers. I love what you're doing to hold BMF accountable. Please don't stop. Just wanted to chime in on the atheist thing.

Ben you are a mf patriot

Fascinating how often Ben educates police officers on litigation.

"F u" for saying that you'd expect an atheist to steal. Atheist have actual honor 😂

I think everyone in the comments is missing a major factor in their calculations here: This detention/arrest is illegal. It was without an arrest warrant and no reasonable suspicion of a felony. It was made without any accusation either. When they do a 6 person arrest without even pretending to have grounds or a warrant, it means they are lawless. Whatever Ben or anyone says after the illegal arrest is inadmissible due to fruit of the poisonous tree. Moreover, it creates a record that they were fully informed of the real Lego theft and did nothing. And it gave the AFPD another opportunity to shamelessly exhibit the most wanton disregard of law, due process and rights most people would have ever seen. So even though Ben suffered that day and has to defend these criminal charges which will not stick unless he has a lawless judge or his attorney betrays him (a very real prospect), in terms of the mission of getting justice for Bryan’s dad & family, it is invaluable. It may also contribute to getting these dirty cops fired

I've been a fan since the McKamey Manor video. I honestly can't believe the cop who interrogated you isn't a fan!!!

Mormons are raised and taught to be racist if you aren’t white or part of the church the Mormon church protects pdfs cause it’s the pastor or mayor Utah has every problem other states have the Mormon just force the state to to hide everything to make all it seem all sun shines and rainbows the more you get out of salt lake county and venture in other counties you’ll see the difference and see that it’s a cult Mormons are pdf racist and protect pdfs they will use the police that’s protect pdfs to just as you are seeing in these reckless Ben videos

This is crazy

Brother. The next time this happens to you the only words that should come out of your mouth is "I'd like an attorney present before I answer any questions." That's miranda rights are for man.

Why was there 30 seconds trimmed at 18:46.30ish

Ben is lucky that BAM and the American Fork police are idiots. He has continually do dumb shit but got bailed out because everyone else was dumber. You never speak to the police until you have a lawyer.

Better call Saul!

I love the tone of the "detective" just like he works for a real law enforcement agency. I hope you do this whole circus in a Lego movie.

Probably not a good idea to talk to the cops no matter how right you are.

This investigator shows just how uninterested in justice the police force of Utah is. He wasn't listening to anything Ben said. As soon as he thought he had something to charge Ben with he left the room...

This is such a shitty move.

Don’t ever ever talk to the police without your Lawyer! Hopefully you won’t get arrested. But if you do you automatically ask for an Lawyer.

New watcher here, but since I found you a few days ago your all that’s been on my phone. Amazing work man, you kill it.

I hope a really good lawyer catches wind of this case and defends you until you win!!!!! You did a really good job staying calm here and explaining all the facts. And I understand you were hoping that explaining things would mean that they would see the error of their ways and let you go. But they are corrupt and you don’t need to talk to them and they’re just looking for ways to save their own asses. Just request to speak to a lawyer from now ; ) and thank you for all you’re doing to expose corruption!!!!

This isn’t the full interrogation the full interrogation got leaked on YouTube

Whenever someone reads you your rights, plead the 5th and call a lawyer and shut the fuck up. NEVER TALK TO POLICE. A lawyer would have walked you out of there that day

Why does a licensed DETECTIVE not know the Miranda rights? He’s reading ts off a google photo💀💀

Ben, always lawyer up!!!

Being from Oregon, and witnessing how well the Oregon police handle matters of business related theft, i wouldn't get your hopes up. Make friends with the DA, and be the squeaky wheel or else it will get swept under the rug. (ymmv)

The police question you to build a case. Never talk to them.

i know this is too little too late but talking to the cops can only be used against you

I would really love to know if you do have like good representation yet hopefully you already had it this whole time or at least on backup but I know there is some like bomb civil rights attorneys that also stream wouldn't that be the most awesome collab is collabing with a civils right lawyer to deal with these guys that would that would kind of be interesting I don't know if that's possible but it's pretty crazy world out there these days who knows

The amount of talking in this video is a let down. I would've loved to watch 60 minutes of you just sitting in silence after 5 seconds of you saying "I want a lawyer"

LEGO needs to step in lol.. They own the “minifig” trademark.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dude you are going to win this 99999999999% forsure, corruption always fails and doesn't last for long, look at Nick Shirley not in a left or right nonsense, but what is the right thing to do and what is legally the right thing to do. Your voice only gets louder the more they try to beat you down into silence, they are literally going against the people at this point and not just you and your team alone 💯

Petition for LEGO to revoke authorized retail status from Bricks & Minifigs: https://c.org/nSK4M892XC

Ammon Daniel McNeff was convicted as part of his company "Legally Mine LLC" committing law fraud in Ohio!!!! That's another part of the story that really needs covering, Ammon Daniel McNeff has a history of being convicted of legal fraud.

Nothing you say can ever help you

I lived in one of the houses you were near in all of those videos for 15 years. American Fork PD has ALWAYS been shady. You should go look if anything bad happened there with teenagers and cops in like 95-96. Gross PD.

Not having a lawyer is insane. You have grounds to sue for multiple rights violations. Malicious prosecution. Etc etc

They can't just put you into jail for not answering questions. You always ask for an attorney.

Bro can take on the “church” of scientology and doesn’t get blacksited but messes with a LEGO company connected with the Mormon church and gets swatted, and a warrant out for his arrest

Please never speak to the Police again without a lawyer present.

I sure hope someone is looking into that AirBnB owner, since the chief of police said that the owner “heard them talking about legos they’d stolen” (paraphrasing) and call the PD. I would definitely be questioning how they supposedly heard ANYTHING, since they aren’t allowed to be listening in on private conversations of their guests or recording them.

I'm so upset this happened to you

I do x-rays, and Ben is being incredibly stoic. I got goosebumps and dry heaved. Dislocating any joint is excruciating, reducing it back into place is equally terrible, and it will never ever fully recover. The shoulder in particular will often repeatedly dislocate with minor force until surgically stabilized. I'm so so sorry this happened to you, you can tell you didn't resist. 😔

I understand not talking to the police without a lawyer, and I understand Ben now knows that a lawyer is important to have. But it’s fkn ridiculous and we should allllll be pissed! Why tf can’t I talk to a cop without a lawyer?! Why is that MY burden?! We need to fix this problem, as a collective.

Never talk to the police. Especially when they are targeting you like this. Idk if you think that letting them talk will cause them to expose themselves but I promise the best method to win against these people is to stay silent and ask for an attorney. There’s no real content in talking with the police. We can clearly see how much they are siding with what I presume is their friend and how they are targeting you. Get representation

Never talk to the cops bro

Part 2, “part 3 is up on my patreon right now”

Seriously, at what point does a larger corporate entity that BAM uses as a shield/sword… or just stains by repeated unethical, immoral, and illegal actions speak up against this?

~45 s missing just before the 14 min mark of the video ((18:48:00 on film). I'm assuming that's because there's a separate case regarding the GoFundMe...Keep shining a light on corruption Ben+team.

𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗙𝗣𝗗 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 -Lieutenant Quinn Adamson -Officer Bryan Richardson -Officer Steven Hawkins -Officer Luke Sumbot -Officer Samuel Canizalez -Officer S Tonga -Officer K Benzon -Officer C Jennings

You guys need a good lawyer since yall bust these fuckers up as a brand

every single officer involved needs to be fired immediately and prosecuted for the crimes they are guilty of.

The cult they're apart of down there is no joke. I'm surprised it wasn't worse. Utah is notorious for incompetent people in places of authority. They often use religious ties to get where they want to go. The state and church are so closely tied it's impossible not to have corruption and idiocy running ramped. It always sucks to see talent pushed away for someone with a religious rank to be brought in instead. Its no wonder they can't do anything om the name of justice could you imagine trying to do the right thing when you know brother Jimbo is just gonna have the church shun you and your family for doing so. No matter what you do you're always appealing to the church weather you recognize it or not. In short don't trust a religious group who raped and murdered wagon trains and blamed the Indians for it to have any sense of justice

Police response https://youtu.be/IcVmSQpIPRY?si=s3ZZbt17S3BDhaPn

Bro don’t worry about this stuff right now. You have millions of people and massive YouTubers in suspense waiting for episode 2 to drop on YouTube. You need to capitalize on this situation and drop while you have everyone’s attention.

100% never talk to the police. Just remember they’re looking for a reason to arrest you and charge you with something. Always remain silent. Also. I hope someone like Coffeezilla and other investigative journalists get in on this. I will not be satisfied until there is a lawsuit against the franchise owners they lose for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the police department in Oregon as well.

You really should contact the ACLU. I’m sure they would love to build a case against this police department.

I’m so sorry you are going through this because it’s scary but I’m so glad the world is starting to see what POS the cops are. I used to “back the blue” until they turned their sights on me. I am fighting for my freedom right now because something happened in my presence that I had no control over. And they are coming after me like I should have stopped it or protected the police essentially so anyways. God bless u Ben!

If you want your next story, the worst offender in Utah is the Utah Transportation Authority. The UTA. I call them the Utah mafia. They are in so deep and corrupt. they destroy entire cities and then laugh. Idk, maybe you can do your research on them. Just to get back at Utah and have a new story to talk about.

detective was biased from the jump

A smart attorney would be sponsoring Ben with pro bono legal for marketing

Where's part 2 of the Lego situation?

This may come off like an interrogation, because it's an interrogation.

i cant see it? is anyone else having problems plahying it

Oh ben, you talk too much. Great for YouTube, bad for interrogations. (ESPECIALLY with corrupt cops eager for evidence to use against you) Key point- Everything you say can and WILL be held against you. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have given funds or Ben to access a lawyer

Man, do you have a BIG mouth! Completely unnecessary to tell this prick every single aspect & angle of your plan. “EVERYTHING CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU.” Damn, the way you explained it to this D-bag cop, and like a fool it was completely volunteered, made it sound like you used YOUR ENTIRE PLATFORM to call on thousands of people to mega digital stalk/harass this guy, when that’s not what happened at all. But that’s what you made it sound like because of all the blabbing you did here dude!!!

Guys, Ammon McNeff is the CEO of Bricks N Minifigs and his home address is 415 1,280th, Orem, Utah, 84097. It’s a pretty freaking nice house. So do with this information what you will, oh and Ammon has family on social media like his sister Aleisha McNeff Shepard. Internet do your thing!!!

Guys, he's documented fucking everything. He has nothing to worry about. He has 100% evidence proving his innocence. Talking to the police at this point actually helps his case because it just proves how fucking crooked they're being since he has videos to prove all of the context to go along with it.

Come on man as soon as they review your rights, you should’ve known better than to say anything at all, even trying to explain what actually happened to the cop ….. those fucking pigs will try to pin you for anything no matter how ridiculous it is

Let’s goooo! Ben’s the most casually intense person I’ve ever come across. Lawyers are nice and all but I actually think he might know just as much as a lawyer when it comes to what laws he’s navigating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him slipping in his content!

Keep making these amazing videos bro. Please put out part 3 ASAP. These cops are SCUM!!!

I could really tell he thought the police would come around and see his side of the story.. The police will never help you everything they do is to build a case against you

All these comments but no reviews for American Fork PD smh

Plead the fifth...it is your right. Stay safe.

https://youtu.be/ee_3rWDfT5M?si=Bcx6u05wuQLXeOdI M&R just posted his conversation with the CEO!

Fuck Utah police. Whole state is a shitty corrupt cult

Never speak without a lawyer. Ever.

Love how they start with the lie. “I don’t know what’s going on.” Really? So you don’t know what’s going on and they sent you in here to talk to me? Sounds super irresponsible. Yall sent multiple cops and an entire swat team to my house and I’m suppose to believe you don’t know what’s going on? Go back there and find someone who DOES know about the MILLIONS of dollars in resources yall just wasted on me and let me talk to THAT person.

Some of these cops need to be killed. It womt stop unless a few are made to be PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO RE OFFEND. Make it a point to them that you act corrupt with your LIFE AT STAKE.

Go support your dis taste for the CEO by liking my comment I was able to post on his Facebook before he limited his page https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1B82ny6AJf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This will be the 5th time saying it. This is collectively the best YouTube saga I have ever seen. And then the graffiti video!!! 🤯🤯🤯 mind blown. This guys balls might be the most massive balls ever made. Be careful man, I want to see your journalism have a long healthy career and not get taken away by the higher ups. You got a fan for life! Keep rocking with those massive balls sir🫡

Did they even read him his Miranda rights during the first arrest? I didn't hear it before they put him in cuffs and took him in the car.

I know you probably know this by now… but as soon as you get read your rights, ask for an attorney. Period. You can’t anticipate how your words will be used against you.

Guy's he's letting the police dig themselves into holes with their own actions. He knows he should have asked for an attorney. He is getting content for youtube and evidence for his case at the same time

LAWER UP PLEASE

Invoke your 5th amendment rights

this dude is a detective ? hes as dumb as a box of rocks

i hope this shit blows up bruh im spreading the word in texas, you got me Ben, youre the goat

correct me if im wrong, but cant you sue the police officers or file a lawsuit on the department for the false arrests and accusations? i never heard anyone read u your rights or tell you why you were being arrested except for this detective which is illegal

Dude @ Reckless Ben, te some help with thw Civil Rights Lawyer, he can defnetly help You out https://youtube.com/@thecivilrightslawyer?si=L59Dx3WId6vBPPj_

I screamed at the cop 4 times as I paid $8.52 to follow this story incredibly closely

EVERYON! Never talk to the tards. They are only out to bust you on a random crime.

Idk what in that whole conversation indicated that he should be put in jail…

From now on get an attorney. These scumbags have proven that they’re operating in bad faith, trying to get you guys to say stuff that will get you in trouble. An attorney honestly would’ve prevented you from ever going to the jailhouse that night

From

Lawyer up and sue the fuck out of the entire county, stop talking to cops and dont let them search you without getting them to admit on your own personal recording their probable cause

Never paid for a YouTuber's Patreon before, but I had to after watching part 1. After watching part 2, like you need to sue this police department. They are a bunch of crooks.

Hi Ben - Attorney here, but not your attorney. With all the love and respect in my heart - shut the f*** up when cops approach you. That goes for you and everyone on your team. Yes, this is fun content. But you need to shut the f*** up. If they arrest you, ask for an attorney. Better yet, you should have one on retainer based on the work you do.

Genuinely for a smart kid you are so fuckin dumb for talking to this cop

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DO NOT SPEAK TO DETECTIVES WITHOUT A LAWYER DETECTIVES ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND. THEY ARE THERE TO HELP THE POLICE BUILD A CASE AGAINST YOU

Salem is in for a big lawsuit, the amount of civil rights broken and harassment. I have a feeling they will all be fired and you'll be a millionaire here soon.

Detective was kinda struggling to read him his rights lol

I am legitimately curious that with all of the local police corruption and protecting the Mormon Church, have you contacted the FBI? That might be something worth trying if you haven't.

Next time your in this mess. Don’t answer any questions, and ask for a lawyer. Talking will only make it worse in situations like this

My dude there’s only two things I know for a fact: 1- never speak to a cop without a lawyer, they’ll try and twist it to be like “only guilty people requests lawyers” but the cops aren’t your friends and they don’t care, they can and will twist anything you say to fit their narrative. 2- Mormon’s are insanely tight and some of em are straight up insane (Mormon fraudster bomber case). That second one is kinda relevant as well I guess

Why would you talk to him? Big mistake

Oh my god buddy, no more talking to the cops. Make it a Patreon goal or something. These people will never be brought to your side.

I refuse to go to Utah County. That whole part of Utah is straight corruption. Once you drive past that IKEA in Draper you’re in for trouble, and don’t even get me started on the LDS church… they sued my family for a family trust matter that ended in them taking 250k from my family. Most corrupt religious organization ever with some extremely powerful attorneys that these BAM kooks are definitely in kahoots with.

Good news guys, moist has seen the video.

While you should've spoken to a lawyer, I suggest submitting everything to Audit the Audit. Get the news out there

I have never seen a guy give no fs like him before and I am here for it. lol

I like how these comments telling Ben to get lawyers are trying to get him to be less reckless…but then he wouldn’t be Reckless Ben! You are a hero and you have the biggest balls I’ve ever seen. To me, you are the definition of chaotic good. Good luck and I hope you can bring those Legos home!

Man! After all you went through at that time!? As many others said, you spent 99% of the time defending yourself in your own zone. You gave so much away and didn't use opportunities to let the interrogator show what he was fishing for. Keep up the good work, but step up and don't be too naive. In part 1, I heard someone on the phone asking, "Are you young?" That was an insight, and now you have to use that perspective to your advantage.

At this point. Send your video to all the Utah Judges and officers of the courty. It's up to them if they want to watch the video. All of their emails are publicly available. I'm sure Nick Shirley is also pissed at this since he is part of the Mormon faith.

People defending the independent franchisees need to understand that if they don’t have the heat put on them, then they won’t relay the message to the people upper management- you hurt them where the pockets are. It all goes up to the chain of command. It doesn’t matter if they’re independently owned they need to put the pressure on their boss. Oh well

Ben, there are a lot of Mormons down in Mexico too, so you might want to be careful advertising your location. You should probably go somewhere else honestly.

This police department absolutely needs to be investigated and charged for all the corruption. Utah is looking like a 3rd world country. Throwing people in jail because they feel like it smh

Copy and dm and email this to all the lawyer emails and instagrams and any other way of contacting them. Send it to other YouTubers who talk about stuff like this also!!! Please look into this guys new video about the 200k Lego collection that this company stole from this 83 year old man who just wanted to help pay for his grandkids college. The YouTuber who made the doc has been arrested and charged with like 10 things because the company keeps calling the cops and he even got swatted just for talking about it. His civil rights have been violated countless times. Part 1 is on his YouTube and part 2 is on Patreon and will be on YouTube soon. I can screen record part 2 for you if you want it and can’t or don’t wanna buy the Patreon. Please make a video and talk about this!!! This is the part 1 link https://youtu.be/wscQpkcwgNU This is the Patreon link https://www.patreon.com/RecklessBen?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan And this is the gofundme for the old man who’s legos were stolen https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-bryan-recover-his-lego-collection

everyone needs to submit a claim here: https://civilrights.justice.gov/report/ this is an abhorrent civil rights violation!

Wait. Why is he only being given his Maranda Rights after he was arrested and not when he was being arrested?!

A friend who is a lawyer told me if I ever had to interact with the police "Lawyer up and shut up". They are not your friend and "anything you say can be used against you in a court of law". That being said, I love what you are doing to bring attention to this awful situation. Consider contacting the State Attorney General with your evidence. Be safe!

NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE!!!!

PENGZ HE JUST POSTED

The records department lady needs to be terminated with prejudice

The marion county sherriff will serve papers! You have to pay a fee but it's through the sherriff office.

Dude, you and your friends seen seem to be unaware of how extremely illegal all of this was. You don't need to worry enjoy money for a lawyer. This is the biggest civil rights violation case in years, you NEED TO MAKE PART 2 PUBLIC, then you will literally have dozens of pro-bono civil rights attorneys tripping over each other to take your case for FREE. It will be national news within days of this going public. TV ews channels and major podcasters will be needing you guys for interviews. I know that you think that you need this patreon money, but trust me, after seeing the whole thing, this case is so serious that I guarantee you will not have to worry about money once this goes public, and millions more people will hear the whole story. The Lego story alone is pretty sad, but overall isn't the big of story on the national level, but the police corruption and rights violations are probably the biggest police corruption case in the country this decade., especially with so much of it on video. The police issues will be what gets you on CNN and the Shawn Ryan Podcast, not the Lego story — However, once you get these big interviews they will all obviously want to know what started it, and that will be your chance to let more people know about the Lego theft part of the story.

Dude, I hope you have hired an attorney to sue the police department. They have violated so many of your constitutional rights it’s not even funny!

Don't trust any detective or police officer, especially in Utah and Oregon. They are looking for a reason to keep you. - Police departments exist to generate revenue for the county or city it serves. Law enforcement should be a nonprofit organization; instead, they are used as a way to strong-arm residents, especially residents that are vulnerable into paying fines for breaking the law. Fines should not be the only option: jails/prisons and community service. There is no need to give any government money outside of taxes, and I personally don't believe we should be giving that. Because it eventually is stolen due to fraud and corruption

you offer way too much info here, this wasn't an interview this was a show and you were star

BUMP THESE SCARY ASS COMMENTS 🤣😂🤣 YALL NERDS CANT CONTROL BEN!! AND HE’S TOO SLICK TO GET CAUGHT UP IN AN INTERROGATION. YALL FORGOT WHO HE IS 🤣 HE HAS THAT COP RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM. PART OF HIS ALLURE IS ALLOWING PPL TO THINK HES A DUMB KID WHEN IN REALITY HES FAR FROM IT. THIS SHOULD TURN INTO A LDSMORMONUVUUTAHISCORRUPTAF VIDEO

You really need to have your own lawyers involved in this, like yesterday.

All this could’ve been avoided with an attorney. I have no idea why Ben didn’t pick up on the cops working together until way later because he kept trying to tell them Josh was lying even though it was very obvious the cops already knew and didn’t care.

sue the police department for all these unlawful acts thats the easiest case ive seen ever for any lawyer the amount of evidence you have you could get all of these cops fired

This whole interview is just to build a case against you Ben, glad you jumped borders. Never talk to the police, always have an attorney.

unlawful arrest, unlawful interrogation, unlawful search and seizure, negligence, incompetence, corruption. just a small list for grounds to sue the Utah PD

Bro. You were being interrogated and didn't ask for a lawyer? Extreme rookie move

I’d be careful putting your location in videos… be safe

You should be our president!

If we have learned anything from Ben it’s that he always has a reason for the things he’s doing. Not sure how sure how this interrogation fits in the plan. I love the moments in his videos when he’s like “remember when” and it flashes back to something that made no sense or didn’t notice at the time but became incredibly important later.

I think been wants to

What they did to you is so criminal, it would be investigated by the FBI. The primary federal agency responsible for investigating serious police misconduct like this—false arrest (as a “shakedown”) and tampering with/editing bodycam footage—is the FBI, working with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division.10 Why the FBI and DOJ? • Color of law violations (18 U.S.C. § 242): This federal statute covers law enforcement officers who willfully deprive someone of constitutional rights (e.g., false arrest, unlawful seizure, due process violations) while acting under “color of law” (their official authority). False arrests and shakedowns fit here.0 • Evidence tampering/obstruction: Editing bodycam footage to hide admissions of no probable cause could involve federal crimes like obstruction of justice, destruction/alteration of records, or conspiracy. This strengthens a federal case.35 • The FBI is the lead investigative agency for these federal civil rights and color-of-law cases. They handle the evidence gathering, interviews, forensic analysis (e.g., of video metadata to detect edits), and coordination with prosecutors.25 • The DOJ Civil Rights Division investigates and prosecutes these cases (often alongside U.S. Attorney’s Offices). They also handle “pattern or practice” investigations into entire departments showing systemic issues.15 These are federal matters because they involve violations of U.S. constitutional rights by government actors. Local or state cases often start internally but can escalate federally if serious.16 Other Levels of Investigation • Internal Affairs / Police Department: Most complaints start here. They review bodycam footage (and would likely catch tampering). However, this is not independent. • Civilian Oversight Boards: In some cities, independent boards review misconduct. • State Agencies: Some states have agencies (e.g., state DOJ, police standards boards, or special prosecutors) that investigate officer misconduct. This varies widely by state. • Prosecutors: Local district attorneys can investigate/prosecute (e.g., for perjury, false arrest, tampering), but conflicts of interest are common since they work closely with police. Federal involvement (FBI/DOJ) is key for impartiality in egregious cases like this. How to Report It 1 Contact the FBI (local field office or tips.fbi.gov) — especially for civil rights violations.27 2 File with the DOJ Civil Rights Division (civilrights.justice.gov). 3 You can also pursue a civil lawsuit (e.g., under 42 U.S.C. § 1983) for damages, where bodycam tampering would be strong evidence. Note: Success depends on evidence (witnesses, other video, metadata proving edits, officer statements). Tampering with official records is a serious crime that can lead to federal charges against the officers involved. Consult a civil rights attorney for guidance on preserving evidence and filing.

15:56, I cringed...

It's crucial to avoid speaking with the police. Anything you say can be used to implicate you in a crime, even if there was no connection before you said a word. Your statements can easily be interpreted to create a link that didn't previously exist, putting you in a position where you have to defend yourself. Always have a lawyer available in your filming location, assert your right to remain silent, and clearly state that you won't answer any questions that could incriminate you. After that, refrain from saying anything else until you have legal representation.

Utah and Oregon police should be thoroughly investigated for malpractice, forgery and criminal conduct. Sheer scumbags

Did the “detective” seriously pull up google to fucking read your miranda rights?🤣

Bro lock in why do you not have a lawyer involved

Police are NOT your friend!!! I know many of us were raised that way, but they can legally lie to you!! Stop talking to police!!

1:10 "if I say 'no,' then I go to jail?" ...If you "yes," don't you also go to jail? I wonder if he actually gained *anything* by talking

jayoma is needed

Lawyer up homie, these guys are not on your side

This is such a crazy story dude. All the cops in on this is insane, Im never gonna understand how any of them could possibly think they are in the right, even if sometimes what you’re doing is a legal “loophole” its still legal. Even what Josh is doing isn’t a legal loophole, what he’s doing is straight illegal lol.

no one joined the police because they are high academic achievers

im british and had epereaince with american police, they are mostly retarded and corrupt, they don t know the law and make crap up, do not speak to them full stop, charge or let me go

https://youtu.be/14ktgvoH4Mc You now have Lawtube and Kiwis following this case. Congrats

I think you’re over your heads, call the institute for justice and see if they’ll help

The Salem store just opened again. Everyone leave a 1 star review

watch Lawful Masses with Leonard French's video

I have an idea on how you can serve the lawsuit to the person. Get someone, dress them up as a pizza guy, and put the paperwork in the pizza box. I saw that in a TV show

I’m holding out faith that this is going to turn into Ben vs the Mormon Church and the Utah Police department. I’m sure he knows better than everyone the cult that he dove into.

Was there any updates on Oregon's investigation on Josh & BAMF?

Never talk to the cops, bro. You're getting a taste of small-town police in America. They move like gangs and don't have any real regard for the law. I have terrible anxiety with police, having grown up in a small town where it was like that. It will make you question everything about America, and you don't understand until you've experienced it. I'm glad you have this on video. Maybe you can find a way to expose corruption with police across America safely with a lawyer's advisory.

They won’t interview you if they have anything on you. Don’t talk.

The police are never good faith

Ben's kinda damned if he does damned if he doesn't cause in the public view so many people won't take this seriously if you don't try the "right" way first. Most normal people would just get a lawyer but i have a feeing Ben is not a normal person... but a reckless one. 🐸

At this point I would consider to sue the heck out of everyone involved, get the money, which you will get a lot of, and move to Europe. These guys are dangerous, the only reason I think you are relatively safe is because this caught a lot of attention and you disappearing would point to them as first suspects, and could even involve the corrupt cop department. Exposure is their worst enemy right now.

Brick by brick

This whole series needs more publicity because this level of corruption needs to be addressed.

Your heart was in the right place but the police is not your friend….

AI Analysis: Nicosia appears to be trying to build a record for stalking, trespass, and organizer liability. He keeps steering Ben toward: who organized the group, why they came to Utah, how they contacted Josh, whether the goal was to pressure or intimidate him, and whether Ben knowingly brought people to Josh’s home after prior police contact. In plain terms, he seems to be looking for admissions that Ben coordinated a group action aimed at Josh personally, not just lawful service of papers or journalism. Potential legal vulnerabilities in Ben’s statements: He talked after Miranda despite realizing refusal might affect jail. He gave a long, unfiltered narrative instead of answering narrowly. He admitted he organized or inspired others through Instagram. He used phrases like “take down a bad guy,” “funny plot point,” and “go viral,” which can be spun as a pressure campaign. He described repeated contact around Josh’s home, signs, religious pressure, and service attempts, all of which can be framed as a “course of conduct.” Bottom line: Ben gave Nicosia useful pieces for a theory of “organized intimidation/stalking,” but he also preserved a strong defense narrative: legal service, public property, no threats, no intent to intimidate, and speech/journalism.

These cops are sorry… I really hope you get a civil rights attorney and blast this all over YouTube. This is just flat out corruption and ignorance at it’s finest. (I mean all of these police interactions throughout the series)

Ben - you guys gotta be careful. Firstly, anyone youre with, make sure to brief them on not talking to the cops. Secondly, turn off faceID from your phones so they cannot be unlocked without the password. Lastly, make sure to have a lawyer briefed on the case, who is near the jurisdiction you are in, so you can have them come get you if you get arrested again.

You are talking way too much, zero reason to explain your last series as they will just use that to make it seem like you have a history of harassing people and using loopholes "your words" to avoid laws. 100% should have just asked for a lawyer right away as even with you doing the right thing they will still screw ya as they just see you as a prank YT'er that is trying to get views and $$. They are going to try everything to screw ya over.

Part of his charm is how he keeps expecting the cops to help, and people to be reasonable. That's why talking to the cops in good faith is his M.O.

Ben, I honestly wonder if someone paid you via illegitimate or dirty money on GoFundMe and they think you're somehow in on it because they partially misunderstand what you do? You may turn loopholes back on people but certainly never like that.

I don’t get how you literally could follow every legal procedure and still get arrested. You’re literally explaining the law to the police and they’re like OK yeah I don’t know how that works. How does that work? Dude I am sick of America’s legal system. It is a joke and it needs to be stopped immediately

all the people saying he needs to stop talking and get a lawyer are forgetting they arrested him without a reason at all lmao

he’s his own attorney.

When you told him it was a false arrest you bruised their ego

Bro I’m surprised THIS ordeal isn’t catching Banksy’s attention. Ben, you are an artist through and through. Vigilante artist.

As I'm working for the German Police, I just can havely advise you to not talk to the Police if you didn't cal them. Any Interrogation is to find reasons to arrest you. Most suspects talk them self in to it. Don't do that! If they don't find anything, don't give them things to research

We are here to support your great work… keep it up!

What's crazy is the detective never had any interest in your intentions, how you help fight corruption and bring justice. The entire time he was just looking for a single statement to use against you.

First rule of fight club… don’t talk to police

Open and honest. It's so obvious he isn't hiding anything. Probably is best to just keep your mouth shut though. They're going to use that clip of you saying "you're the mastermind" in court I guarantee (if this gets to trial).

You would be safe if you were not to name or show suspects for alleged crimes, as long as not convicted. Next time: Pixelate their faces, don't give their names in videos. Like it is now, you risk to hurt your cause, by being supceptible to the defamation accusation.

Do we know what the charge is? Certainly if there is a warrant the charge should be easy enough to know. I’m sure it has to be a stalking or harassment charge

balright

This police department is going to be extremely embarrassed by this. What a disgrace.

18:46:27-18:47:03 is missing

Can the Mormon church be the next investigation? I always knew they ran a mob but this stuff really drives it home.

Justice for Ben!

I need p3 and I need to see these people getting arrested.

You need a really good attorney who does civil cause you can now pretty much file a law suit against the city, owners and company. I feel you’ll get more than Legos. Could be a millions!

Someone call the legal eagle

Thank you for sharing all this bonus content, love watching it! (Same with the other videos, always appreciate it!)

You need to look at police auditors. You need to understand that these people are not your friends and cannot be reasoned with. And you need to never talk to the police. I don't know from your videos if you're talking to a lawyer but you really need to. Like even before getting in trouble have a lawyer clear your investigations.

The police are never on your side, especially in this situation. This series has been amazing and I hope you sue them for civil rights violations. I wish you didn’t talk to the police in the interrogation :/ Keep up the incredible work Ben, you are a breath of fresh air for our country! ❤️

This crap makes me so angry🤣 i respect how you handle all this. Ever find yourself in Mn and need help lmk!

I am so fucking invested in this. Hands down the best video I have seen on YouTube literally ever

I have been wondering under what circumstances did the original franchisee have their franchise & all the inventory taken? There has to be a story behind that.

Lawyer up and be careful ben, this brotherhood will try to bury you 🫡

You've got to stop talking to police, brother. Always demand an attorney up front.

This should be a video of you sitting in silence until your lawyer arrives.

I’m sure you’ve seen this but please try to get the attention of the civil rights lawyer on this for more recognitionr

I was waiting for this!!

“I’m just tryna give you the benefit of the doubt” 🫩
