He thought he would get away with it, but it was all caught on camera. I need you to fill out this contact. Nothing, bro. I'm just trying to see what what do you So, I've told you this be the third time I'm telling you, right? I have witnesses who confronted me. You showed me a video of you getting close, fidgeting with your watch, with your right hand, and getting close to a girl who was wearing a skirt, getting close, doing this underneath the girl skirt, getting close to it. Oh, what happened? So, I asked, right? I asked you to stop at Batman. You kept walking away. I asked to see your phone so we could just end it right then and there. You kept walking away. You told me no. Watch. So, then we brought you here. Yes, you do. I saw it in your hand when we were walking. What phone was I recording with then? They said it looked like an Apple Watch. Well, so I'm asking I'm asking to see your phone so we can just end it right here and right now. No, no, not at all. Oh, you're not seeing nothing. You got no proof of anything. All you got is somebody saying, "Oh, I have two witnesses saying that you're getting close to females with skirts." Who are they? I'm not going to tell you exactly. So, why would I tell you their names? That puts them in danger. That's not smart on my part. Nobody's in danger. That's the thing. Like, why would I tell you a witness's name? What's your name? I'm not giving you nothing. It's just It's just pass or did you buy a one day ticket here? It's just a note, bro. Did you buy a season pass? Did you buy a season pass or one day take it home? You're going to stay here. You're not free to leave. Have a seat. I'm just trying to leave. Have a seat. Have a seat. So, here's the deal, dude. Right now, we're trying to figure out if a crime has been committed. Right. Just bear with us, okay? If you don't want to tell us who it is, it's fine. A watch. I don't have a watch. Okay. He said, he said you did. So, I don't have nobody. I don't We'll go review the video and we'll we'll check. So, you just got to bear with us. Give us a few minutes. Like, I wasn't I didn't have my phone. Now, that's the thing. I'm not sure. That's why we're hanging on to you for a second while we investigate this. You want to give us your information so we can clean this up faster than We can wait till the witness come. Whatever. They're not coming. We're going to go get their information on them. So, like I said, they're already dirty talking to witnesses. They got two of them. So basically what's going to happen if they fill out a witness form saying that hey they saw you and they were disturbed by what you were doing you committed a crime that's called disorderly conduct. They're disturbed by your actions. Whatever you were doing they were disturbed. That's why they alerted security that alerted us. Right? So and that's why we're not you're not free to leave right now. Right? So that's what we're looking at uh into right now. So like we were saying you give us your ID. If we get this process going, it would go a lot faster. If they want to pursue charges, the two witnesses that they're talking to right now, and you refuse to give us your ID, we'll have to take you back to the station. We'll have to fingerprint you and we're going to have to figure figure it out that way over disorderly conduct, right? So, that's what we're looking at. That's at the very least, like, don't get me wrong, if there's other angles of this and there was something else going on, there could be additional charges, but the very least disord any actions that alarm or disturb somebody, right? I just don't understand how somebody would need to say that though, right? I get you. And this is I want to see and we'll go check the video, all that good stuff, man. There's video all over the place. So, we'll go, you know, verify with video, but you got to give us a few minutes of your time while we're investigating this. Okay. One officer gathered statements and footage while the other two further interviewed the suspect. And you said you don't have an Apple Watch? No. Watch? No, I do. I do have a Apple Watch, but I was just checking it. So, that's what I was trying to say. Like it wasn't even on my wrist. I was just So So you do have a watch? Yeah, I have a watch. I just told the guy you did. Well, I Come on, man. We're just trying to work with you. Trying to work with you here. It's not like a It's not like a Do you have it on you? Watch. Yeah, I got it on. Oh, you don't have anything? No, I was just looking for text and right now it's not even on. So, it's like that's all it was. Like, you can't even record with a Apple Watch. So, that's why I'm like, what are they talking about? You know, you can take photos with it. No, you can't. Not mine at least. Like I could go through it right now and see if I can, but I never did that before. So yeah, Apple, you can't take video. Like you can try on yours, but mine doesn't. They talking about I just somebody like I don't Would you be willing to show us your most recent pictures on your phone? I don't want to do that either. It was just a I don't want to do anything I have to do. That's what I'm saying. It just cons cuz they said I was recording on the watch and now it's like oh now it's the phone. I didn't even pull out my phone. So it's like Well, no. That's what I'm saying cuz sometimes the watch is like synced with the phone. N I don't know how to do all that. Hey guys, don't don't be deleting stuff on your phone now. Come on. I'm not deleting my phone. I'm just going through it. Terrible. Hey man, phone. You were on your phone for a good minute. I'm sure you deleted stuff on there that you did earlier, right? You got Miranda on you. What really happened out there, dude? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I was just trying to see what was going on with my people because I was by myself. Okay, so you were waiting in line by yourself. Yeah. Why did you have your phone and watch on? What were you trying to do with that? Because All right. You're in line. You're You're in line for back. I was seeing where they were at. You're seeing where you're seeing where they're at. Okay. Okay. So, what what do you mean by you're seeing where they're at? Because I was waiting for them. You're waiting for them. So, what were you using your phone for? Waiting for him. Text. Text. Okay. What What else were you doing? I don't even want to say the wrong thing at this point. You're not You're not going to say the wrong thing. I'm just trying to figure out your side of the story, dude. Why would someone accuse you of taking photos? Like, why why would someone because that's not a normal thing someone does. Someone just doesn't come up and say, "Hey, everybody has their phone out. Everybody can have their phone out, but usually it's up here close to their face. It's not down low. So they're saying I bent down and I was on my phone and I was like that or something. What were you doing with your phone? That's why why would someone I wasn't doing anything. So why would someone make that accusation on you? Like if I And like I said, I I know you probably just deleted it before we took it. No, I wasn't even on the photo. Well, here's the problem. The video selling us. You did. It's hot out there, man. All right, we got it. Cool. It's right there. Um, he was on it, so there could be a chance that everything was right. I watched the video, right? Can you help me understand what was going on? I'm trying to figure out, too. I I I gave my side. So, you gave your side? What do you mean your side? What was your side? Did I say your side? You said I can't even remember, to be honest. That's what I was I'm saying. I don't even He said it was on his phone. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm trying to figure out why that's why that's not on the same level. Which one was that? It was one that was It was the one that was stuck in between here in the camera. All right. So, help me understand what's going on here, man. So, we got a a bag, right? I watched the video. The camera is clearly positioned perfectly in front of those holes. I watch the video able to zoom in on the on the holes in the bag. That's where it's sticking through. Right. Got the bag walking up next to people like this. And you're using the watch in your hand without a band, which is weird in itself to take pictures. That's what it appears to me. That's what it appears to the witnesses. Help me understand what I'm missing here. Is this Is this accurate? Not accurate. What do you think? Not accurate. It's not accurate. Okay. Uh would you have any problem with me going through that phone just to prove that this is not you do have a problem with it? Okay. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to take your phones and your watch and we're going to get a search warrant for them. Okay. That's the other option. Um unless you want to sign a consent form. I'm not trying to sway you in either direction. Either way is I'm going to apply for a search warrant for those phones and for the watch. If there's nothing to hide in there you want to show me, that's cool. We could be done with this here and get your stuff back today. Otherwise, that's the route I'm going to take. I'm going to ask the judge to grant me a search warrant for the phones. Right now, there's enough evidence to charge you with unlawful video recording, right? It's unlawful to take videos of people's areas like that. That's what they're alleging at the very least is orderly conduct, right? You got an empty box, bunch of stuff stashed in there. That thing positioned perfectly in front of the hole. It just it's it's just odd to me. Maybe you're not not maybe you're not doing anything wrong, but I'm trying to understand what could be what could the other possibility be here. You know what I mean? So, you don't believe there's any truth to what what I saw in the video or what the people are claiming? No. Okay. Said you drove here. Why'd you bring in an empty box? Foot flops. Where your flip flops? I forgot them. Forgot them. So, you brought in an empty? I thought they were in there. So, he was carrying an empty JD sports box despite the nearest store being over 20 m away and no explanation for why he had it. The man was using an Apple Watch in the palm of his hand as a second screen wirelessly linked to his phone so he could see a live preview of the camera feed and adjust the angles before taking photos and recording video. The phone's camera lenses can be seen protruding through holes in the bag. He used his knee to position the camera directly under the shorts of the females in front of him who both appeared to be juvenile. Wow. You can see the cameras in the there. So, our victims don't have they have no idea. Yeah. Yeah. They're trying to track them down. We're going to take you to the police station and we're going to call the state attorney's office and um go from there. All right. Go have the transmitter back, dude. out of the car. At that moment, the man was placed under arrest for unauthorized recording after the victim's parents pursued charges. He was released the same day as officers intended to gather additional evidence before obtaining a warrant. On July 8th, 2024, a search warrant was approved, and both of the man's iPhones and his Apple Watch were turned over to the state's attorney's cyber lab for analysis. Data extracted from the devices revealed 40 videos of recorded on the day he was at Six Flags. All of the videos appeared to have been filmed from inside the bag with the camera angled to capture footage under clothing. Numerous images on the phone referenced a website where similar photos had been uploaded. A majority of the images on the site were taken in locations resembling Six Flags, and the website was believed to have been created by the man. Investigators also discovered numerous videos and images of inappropriate child content stored on both phones. A second search warrant was executed at the man's home one month later. Police Department search warrant. No. All right. So, we have a search warrant. So, right here. Do you remember me from like a month ago? This is a reference to what we talked about a month ago. We at Six Flags. Remember that? No. Okay. What is this for? We have a search warrant based off of that incident. So, if you want to talk, we can talk today. I was I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what's going on. Well, it's hard when you just wake up and people are in your house. So, what's going on? I'm going to tell you in a minute.
