Hi. What you guys up to? >> All what we're doing is we're going to get a bunch of publicity to get uh basically all this money back for the family. >> Okay. >> We got her permission. She said we can film here. So, we're just getting ready to film. We're going to do the >> The owner of the fence? Okay. >> Yeah, we got her permission. We're going to use GoFundMe and stuff. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The orange house? >> Yeah, they're also they said we were good to film there, too. So, we're just getting >> we were allowed all over their property. >> areas. We're just trying to get this GoFundMe going. Um it's a legit GoFundMe. >> What's it what's it for? Sorry. >> Um we're getting back uh this money for this family. Um let me pull up the GoFundMe. It's a real It's a real GoFundMe. Um No, it's real uh uh >> Do you have to hold it? >> Yeah, absolutely. Uh oh [ __ ] yeah. Uh Uh oh, I don't know. He hadn't been on the phone in forever. Um >> That's not true. >> So, but yeah, so here's the GoFundMe. We got 10 bucks. >> 20,000? >> Can I express something, sir? >> Sure. >> So, I know who Ben is. I know the situation. I know the situation with this guy, the YouTube, the LEGOs. I know all that. >> Okay. >> Uh he was arrested for stalking, okay? >> Yeah. >> You know that. Um he's paying you guys to be here. I know that too. >> not paying us so far. It may be better where is he at? I know he just left too. I have no idea. Okay. The problem that we're running into is you guys are slowly becoming an accessory for stalking and you guys can be arrested for that. And so we're we're kind of at the face point where the people that are involved in this are getting upset. We're here to keep the peace. We're here to make sure that nobody gets in trouble, nobody gets hurt, nobody gets arrested. But I don't think that this kind of stuff is going to help the situation. >> Well, but if we get this off and get the drone shot of it it's going to look good and then we'll take it all down and then we'll Yeah, that's how we're going to we're going to cuz we can't you know, we're not going to do the the lawsuit anymore. We're just going to do this GoFundMe. >> Okay. So the the other the other issue that we run into is it it can run into some defamation stuff or it can have some other ramifications that come with it because the gentleman that officer Richardson is is explaining has been arrested, he's not allowed to have contact with that party or indirect contact either. So then you guys are indirectly in contact with that party. So we don't we don't want that to threshold. >> Okay. >> Because that can mean you guys can get arrested as well. >> I'm all for GoFundMe's, I'm all for support on it like what you guys are doing none of my business, but you have to understand we're not stupid either. I know your FaceTime event. I know he's having you do this. Cool. If that's what he's doing then cool, but I'm just I guess this is Like he explained, you don't want to get caught up in that. Ben doesn't want to go to jail again. We don't want to arrest him either. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Like that's not what we want to do. Obviously we have to do our job. >> Yeah, absolutely. I know you guys are just doing your job. >> But what we want is not take people to jail. We want We want Ben and his posse whatever you guys call yourself, reckless Ben whatever. We want you guys to be happy. We don't care, but we also have to look out for them. >> Yeah, for sure. I'm going to double check with the neighbors make sure that's cool with you guys. >> Yeah, I believe you but, you know, >> Yeah, it seems like I'm on stuff. Is this really the most public publicity this this fence on >> Yeah. >> on stores and stuff. That's publicity. >> It is. The drone it's going to be the best drone angle. We we hired a drone scientist and he said this was a really good spot. So, I mean, we you know, we've invested a lot in this GoFundMe already and I think it's going to be a huge success. >> Just so that you guys are aware, we we also may have uh city ordinance regarding posting signage. So, we're going to look into that before we leave. Um I realize that this is on private property but it is on the sidewalk so we'll have to look at that as well, okay? Not to not to hustle you guys too much but >> Yeah, no, you're fine. >> we got to make sure that A no laws are being broken and B nobody's going to be injured or in trouble or anything like that. >> Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. >> Uh if you could maybe give Officer Richardson a moment to check with the owner of the fence. Hang out with us for a minute. Let us let us unravel this real quick. >> Absolutely. >> Um just for the time being uh it looks like this sign is already hung. Uh we may ask you to take it down. I don't know. Um I don't want you guys to get confrontational with that gentleman. Let me have you Is that your car? >> Sorry. >> Will you go wait in the car for me? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay, thank you. Can we go wait in the Yeah, just wait in the car. Are you with them here in the car? >> Yeah. >> Let's have you wait in the car. Please don't leave yet. Let me figure it out and then I'll be with you momentarily, okay? >> Just watch me. They have nothing to do with this. It's all 100% me. Anything >> Okay, thank you. >> I told them to stay in the car. He went back to the house. Huh? >> He got a box on it. He's He's probably pissed off that his face is on the sign. >> Oh, I agree. >> I think we have probably something here. Oh, it's fine. We can talk about it. I I think that um whether it's the stalking stuff that we're looking at, we got to look at that one. We might have a signage problem, too. But this guy's being reasonable. Maybe he'll take it down. >> She's like, "Yeah, they explained it. They'll find me." I said, "Okay." I don't want anything. Like, I don't want to have her up at anything. >> But did she say they could put it on there? >> Yeah. She's like, "Yeah, they explained it. They'll find me." I asked if they could use my fence. I said, "Yeah, cool." >> But does she know what's on there? >> I doubt it. >> Okay. >> Um He was FaceTiming back. >> You're on the right track. Do you want to go in and look at the code and verify for stalking to make sure that that's not an indirect contact? And then let me just make sure she knows what's on the sign. Is that cool? >> Yeah. I I haven't even read the sign, so >> Yeah, it's put it's on there. His face is on there. They're going to indirectly make her They're going to pull her into this. >> Yeah. So, what do you want me to make sure with this? >> Go look at the Go look at the stalking. Have him start collecting info for the other people, and then we'll deal with that. >> Have this guy collect Oh. >> He's here. >> Yeah. >> 8K47 Central Dispatch >> Hi. So sorry to bother you. Um I know that you just spoke with Officer Richardson. It sounds like you had authorized them to hang something on the fence. Have you seen what it is? >> They said it's a gold sign to me. >> Okay, but it's it's going to cause a problem with your neighbor because they're in a dispute. Is that okay if we take it down? >> Uh, yes. >> Is that okay? Cuz I don't want your neighbor to be upset at you because they're posting a sign. Have you seen the sign? Do you want to see it? Okay. I don't think this is good cuz I think it's causing a problem with the neighbor. So, if you're okay with it, we're going to take it down. Is that okay? Okay. No, they're still here. They're in the car, but they were There was a dispute yesterday with this guy and another guy. And these guys are pulling you into this. I don't want you to be in this. So, it's not good. >> It's not good? >> Okay. >> I didn't know. >> Okay. No, and that >> It's just a gold sign to me for a family. >> Yeah, they This is their Yeah, they're they're upset with this guy and so they're posting this. So, we're we're going to take it down. And then yeah, we may come and talk to you again. I don't think so. But thank you very much. Okay. She said she doesn't want that. Cuz she didn't know what it was. Okay, so if it's it's in the commission of a crime, what is it? Is it disorderly conduct? Why? Did it raise the police to be summoned because it causes problems? Did he come out? Is he upset about it? >> I mean I guess, but that's not >> 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. We're just going to make sure we don't have anything. We can absolutely give it back to him. Um I can handle this if you guys want to break to this. Okay. Yeah, I want to get back Tanga. I'll stay here cuz he's heated. >> He is heated. >> Let's unravel this real quick. If you think he was on the phone with the other dude, I think we ought to figure that out. >> was. >> Okay. Yeah. >> But this is I think this is in the best interest of you. So you know that, right? So I think we can agree we both know that was arrested. Yeah. I know you're on the phone, okay? >> Him sending you here and him >> He didn't send me here. I'm here on my own accord. >> Okay. We're going to I'll I'll get to that in a minute. Yeah. Um but just that taking place is another another charge for you. >> Right. But this was all my idea. So they're all here because of me. But I'm I just called him because he's my friend, but he's done dealing with this. I took over the case cuz he doesn't want to get in any more trouble. He's actually got a flight home tomorrow. >> That makes sense. Why are you FaceTime-ing him then? >> I was just telling him uh like >> Hey man, look what I'm doing for your guy. >> Uh no. >> Okay. >> Uh I was just seeing what he was doing. I mean it was just completely uh completely I guess thrown off for what was going on. >> So, there's not going to be any text message corroboration between you and him stating that he wanted you to come out here to post this for you. >> No. >> For him. Is it okay if we look? >> No, there's not. >> Okay. So, we're going to give you a Miranda warning because right now what you're doing is illegal. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, Officer Richardson's going to give you a Miranda warning cuz right now Ben is probably breaking the law. But, we don't know what your involvement is. If we determine that you're involved, that could implicate you. If we determine that you're not involved or you're cooperating with us and we see that it's Ben and it's not you, >> But, it wasn't Ben, it was me. >> I'm just telling you before we give you a Miranda warning. >> Yeah. >> Okay? Cuz there's a lot of ways this could go. And I'm not going to coerce you or scare you or threaten you, but because you were on your phone and Officer Richardson believes that you were FaceTiming Ben while you were hanging a sign across from the guy's house who Ben just got arrested for, we can appeal we can we can request a search warrant >> Yeah. >> for your phone, which means we seize your phone. >> Yeah, for sure. >> And if we get into your phone and we find out that you were lying to us, you can be arrested for this offense as well. >> Yeah, for sure. >> That's the problem. However, if you cooperate with us and you show us and you confirm that you're not involved and this was all your idea, >> Yeah. >> then we we'll probably end up parting ways and you'll end up with your phone. >> Okay. >> Does that under- Do you understand all of that? >> Okay. >> Sorry. It's not even that I believe you were calling Ben, you also just told me that that was Ben. So, >> Yeah. It's just suspicious to us and because we think there's a law broken here, we're trying to get to the bottom of it. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have any questions >> No. >> before we start? >> No, sir. >> I'm just going to advise you of your rights right now. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand your rights as I've explained them to you? Having your attorney present you still have the right to stop answering questions at any time to speak to your attorney. Do you understand your rights? >> Yeah. >> Okay. With these rights in mind, uh do you still wish to talk to me? >> No. >> No? Okay. Um >> We're going to need your phone. Uh seize your phone. Yep. Let me see your phone. Don't. Do not do that. >> Yeah, for sure. >> You understand me? Right now, you're you're attempting to destroy evidence. Okay? Put your hands behind your back. That's a worse charge than what you're looking at. No. No. No. I don't think so. I don't think so. It was on >> Look, it's on my wallet. >> But when you quickly grab it after I go to grab the phone and we tell you to put it back silent. Stop talking. Stop talking. Okay? That's a problem. >> It's on my money. Look, it's on my wallet. >> Okay, but but this is a problem is when when I when I reached for the phone and you quickly pull it away it makes me believe that you're that you're potentially hiding something. >> I'm not going to. It's about to pay. >> I'm not going to. I'm not going to do any of that. I'm not going to manipulate this phone at all. But 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. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm going to search him up. Yeah, search him. >> All right, wind your stance. Do you have any weapons in your pockets? >> No. >> Any pocket knives at any time? >> No. >> Let me call the detectives just cuz we're getting hammered right now. >> Yeah, I swear, man. I was going to give you the phone. >> I understand that, but the way it looks to me is like you're trying to get rid of evidence or >> Okay. It's my fault. You know what I mean? I mean >> I understand that. After we explained to you that we're going to we got to investigate this. Okay? >> That's all I was doing. It was off of my wallet. That's all I was doing. >> Do you have anything under this like a shirt? >> No. >> Any shirt Any shirt pockets? Okay, will you take a step back when we turn Adam to the >> Hey, do you have a detective that can help us with this case? Yeah, so we're down here right now. Um we've got this gentleman that's involved. Um Um Long story short, he was on his phone with the party that was arrested for stalking while they were hanging a sign. We explained to him that he could be technically an accomplice for stalking because the code does read that they they can't have any contact through a third-party neighbor or other party at the neighbor's residence. Anyways, he he had his phone. We told him, "Hey, you know, if you let us Would you consent to us to look through the phone to verify that you weren't talking to this guy, we can get you out of here." He said no. He said no, he doesn't want to talk. We asked for the phone. While he was pulling the phone out, it looked like he was trying to get rid of evidence or or do something to the phone. I snatched it real quick. I've got the phone. The phone is currently open. We've got him 82, so I want to bring him back to the PD and then I need somebody to help me with the warrant for the phone. >> What's his description? >> No. >> You're recording, right? >> What do you want me to do? I can leave >> Okay. Okay, perfect. I'm just I'm I'm maintaining the phone. Richardson's got the dude. We still got to talk to the other party. We got a car full of people, so I'm I'm trying to keep that phone from locking out so that we can get that warrant. So This is his friend. That guy was the one he was on the phone with. >> Hey, will you come over here? >> Yeah, it's Ben Schneider's friend. And and Ben Schneider's friend is claiming that he did this on all of his own volition, but they were hanging a sign with the neighbor's face on there. Yeah, so I think it's probably a YouTuber or a follower or a friend or somebody, but he's just We're getting a phone I need you to write this down real quick. Take him Let's figure that mess out. We'll talk to guy and then we'll send him to the PD. You ready? 810 [ __ ] I lost it. Just give him a Miranda warning and ask if they even know Schneider or if they're just followers. Yeah, I guess he's got a YouTube following. But I don't know if these guys actually know him or if he's just telling his followers to come out and do this and then they'll pay him. Cuz it looks like this dude might have been getting paid to do this. Well, we think Ben was here and he left on foot before we got here. I don't know. Yeah, so anyways, um we just we got more than we can handle right now. So if Wyatt can either come down here or or if uh I can meet him. I just need him to do this phone for me. All right. Thanks, bye. Hey man, you're fine. So we we went 82 with one. Um he claimed he was on the phone with our YouTube guy. And then he he refused to answer questions and then he refused to show us his phone cuz we saw him on the phone FaceTiming while he was doing it. Um he went to put his phone like either close it or do something to it so I while I was grabbing it he tried to try to shut it. So we've got him for potentially obstructing evidence and or an accomplice for the stalking charge. Um but I wonder if this dude's just like a a random follower that Ben's paid off to do this. That could happen, too. So, I don't know. Yeah, it Well, it fixes the stalking code. This gentleman verified that he um he was talking to Ben FaceTime while he was hanging the sign. And then he is on some payment thing on his phone, so I'm wondering if he's like either getting paid or something's happening with the transaction. I don't know. This is a weird one, but we've got a car full of maybe juveniles or other people, and they're all filming Richardson right now. And I I wonder if they're all followers or if they all know Ben or if Ben was even here. So. This is weird, but here we are. Um what I need Yeah, because the other part is kind of hot. I got to get this phone to the PD, and I don't want it to close cuz I want Wyatt to burn a warrant on it so we can verify this guy was or was not uh coordinating with Ben to violate that stalking charge. Cuz the poster that we recovered is the victim's face is on it, and they put it on the fence across the street. So, does that all make sense? Okay. Yeah. Okay. I don't know, man. That's a rough one cuz unless you Well, if you can If you can smell it So, you smelled it, and it's in the car? >> 1945 and 34 >> Okay. Yeah, I mean I I would say you probably fall under the Carol doctrine on that one, but that's uh Where was the driver? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, are you um are you monitoring that other call? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, Neil's headed over to back Tonga. So, yeah, if you could if you could scoop this phone and run it to the PD. Okay. Hi, who are you? >> Good. I'm here for like a GoFundMe truck something. >> Nope, we're not doing that today. >> No? >> Nope, we're out of here. >> Okay. What what happened? >> Okay, I'm just going to let you know, I don't know who's hired you or who who you're affiliated with, but we've arrested one person. If we continue to have people doing stuff around here, you may be arrested as well. So, I just need you to leave. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. Can I know what happened? Cuz I just >> Nope. Nope, you need to leave. >> Okay. I just saw the Instagram post. Thanks. >> Yep, thank you. I just don't want you getting arrested, that's all. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> getting arrested? >> These guys probably are not, but we've already arrested one, so. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Now, this is turning into a nightmare, so. >> All right, thanks. Just make sure you collect the info and put it in the report that it was searched, so yeah. All right. All right, thanks. Okay. >> Hi. >> Hi. Do you want to I have a video recorded in the uh >> Yeah, if you have it, um if if you can send it, that would be great. Um I'm going to have you send it to um Officer Richardson's email. >> Uh-huh. I do have a couple more questions about that cuz I like I got to where we're supposed to raise money for somebody. Was there >> Okay, so this is an active investigation. >> Oh, I can't ask any Sorry. >> No. I I'm just you're you're distracting me and and you're taking away from what I'm doing. No, I need you to leave. This is the last time I'm going to tell you. Thank you. Um it's going to That would be awesome. Thank you very much. Is everything okay with you? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. That's okay. >> Two sides to this. That's where I'm at today, okay? Does that make sense? Good luck. I'm going to go talk to the other guy. Hey buddy, we're So we've got a phone that needs to be processed. I'm trying to get Shawn down here to take it to you. Um but there's a lot of moving parts to this. So give me a couple minutes and I'll call you. You need All right, thanks. Yeah. Yes, and he was here. The The victim is claiming that he did see him and we may potentially have video evidence that he was here. But we're still trying to coordinate with this other group of individuals that were here, what their involvement is, and we've consequently have arrested one of them. So And then I've got more people showing up asking for other stuff and I'm having to turn them away because we're we're actively in the middle of this investigation. So The The phone locked. The The I don't, but the phone locked on me. I was trying to I was trying to preserve that, but we may have to go to hard way on that. So we're almost done, but let me call you in 2 seconds. All right. Thanks. Bye. >> Mhm.
