it was this one because it was that's
the one towards the center Turn Style he
was closer to he wasn't right up against
that Turn
Style yeah cuz if they're going in
together and they have tickets together
what's the point of splitting up like
they did there's there's no point for to
do that yeah so he stands right here
first and he's right here that's the guy
right there hat and glasses yep hat and
glasses see yeah and the guy just came
back from back here and and I'm here
next to the ticket booth watching
watching The Cat In Blue and the guy in
blue is watching this guy like a hawk
yeah because right outside of the 203
office I asked hey man can you can you
give his his ID back and then the guy in
Blue Goes don't surrender it don't
surrender it so

understand basically mean that if you
can't afford a lawyer we can a one will
be provided for you understand that okay
has anyone threatened you or promised
you anything to get you to talk to me
okay so what happened here why what what
happened about this ticket
there I
just as I was trying to get in and
um never really breaking the law done
anything wrong but
uh here on went man trying to experience
the parts and have some fun and that was
not right there go so who's this to you
who's this guy who the other guy like
who is he to
you they your
friend I know him
yes I mean you known him for years like
he's your friend you know what I'm
saying okay so I understand you're
you're why didn't you want to just buy a
ticket to come
in stupid idea just stupid was it his
idea no just
um my I
had my your idea so then you guys
discussed how to finagle like a ticket
way to get in here and all that good
stuff just I was doing all that on by
myself
and okay um so he gave you his ticket is
that
correct yeah I just loged just got his
info and access this ticket you got his
ID and and ticket info I mean I was just
using the his electronic ticket that's
what I'm saying and then with his ID and
then you could get in the park and then
what would happen if that you give him
back the ticket so he can get in or he
has a
SE I think can come in whatever he wants
to come in I was just
visiting um all of a sudden so I just
wanted to have some
f so just to understand the whole story
here just so I can understand you guys
down here
vacationing just kind of doing something
stupid and wanting to get in the park
you know kind of not having to pay for a
ticket he gives you his annual passing
ID he says Hey use this it'll get you in
I got it yeah and then you got in and
then about few minutes later he's going
to come in and you guys enjoy the park
did I did I get it right I was just
trying to get in myself and I thought he
can just get in himself too but he was
helping you out basically right I get it
but yeah it's all in me you you
understand that's illegal you can't it's
defrauding services from the park and
stuff like that right
um speak attorney what's that I need to
speak attorney do you need to speak on
attorney it's up to you if you want to
speak attorney I I told you your
constitutional rights it's up to you
whether you want to speak attorney or
not it hard for is that what you want
what's happening right now well that's
what we're still trying to figure out
we're seeing what Universal wants to do
uh right now um you would be charged
with uh I believe it's a grand theft or
theft of the park services yeah death
yeah it's a theft of
services or like it's it's there's a
ticket one I got to look it up I my head
so that's what you would be charged with
if Universal decides to prosecute I can
probably guarantee you guys are going to
be
trespassed I guarantee you guys will be
trespassed here probably indefinitely
which means you'll never be able allowed
to come back to this property okay okay
all right so I got the story right that
was pretty much the story right in
another show I think I should just stop
doing that I don't know okay have
absolutely that right so I'm going to do
is I'm going to take you back inside
here real quick and then I'm going have
you have a seat and we'll figure what
we're going to do out
okay can I
get oh never
mind
take thanks I appreciate it all
right all right Joseph now you're a
Joseph now come on Joseph speak to
me all right Joseph come on over here in
this corner right
here
okay A little card out for you so since
you're being detained I'm going to
advise you your constitutional rights
all right you have the right to remain
silent do you understand okay anything
you say may be used against you in court
do you understand yeah you have the
right to talk to a lawyer before and
during questioning do you understand
yeah okay if you cannot afford a lawyer
and want one one will be provided for
you before questioning without charge do
you understand yes okay has anyone
threatened you or promise you to get you
to talk to me no no and nobody's
threatening you right no okay so what
happened today why what was all the
shenanigans here why are we doing all
this
um stupidity uh you guys are down here
vacationing and stuff from Ohio yeah
from Ohio we just didn't
[Music]
know we just didn't know
what I guess the
laws were it's not like we were trying
to sneak in like well kind of you know
if you give somebody your ticket you
know and he doesn't pay for it what it's
kind of deceiving the park right of you
know you know every guest that comes
here needs a ticket right corre yes
correct
um
stupid yeah how old are you too old for
this we about to say you look kind of
older all right
so um from what I'm gathering is you
know you gave him your ID and you know
on pass so he can get in and then it
would be yours to get in right after
that yeah I wasn't going to go into the
park you weren't going to go with just
uh what you going to not not go in and
hang out with him no I was going
to go somewhere
else that doesn't make sense how you
going if we I was going to go see
another friend of
mine well I think the other guy kind of
is blowing that part out of the water
the other guy heard your whole
conversation the security guy yeah we
were stupid we didn't know what we were
doing um well I kind of beged to differ
a little bit you guys had a pretty good
plan and that plan was overheard
we just did it
know did you know it was illegal no okay
I did not know that at all um yeah dep
of services somewhere in that regards if
I had any like we're not thieves or
criminals or anything like that like

both of you drive or just one of you
just me and he drove he rod with you
right yeah if we I mean apologies are
not enough I mean we'll never come back

probably going to trespass you from this
part um where did you park because what
they're going to do is if one of you
release are just going to escort you out
to your car and St like that but if not
hat and they just need fing Cat in the
Hat okay if if I could talk and just
