An entire police department in Utah turned on a Youtuber and it was all caught on video. And it only took me 5 videos to break it all down. I started with an interview of that Youtuber – Reckless Ben – and now, I just re-interviewed Ben – just as a judge finally lifted his gag order, allowing him to once-again speak. So this is not only the finale, and part 5 of my analysis of the Reckless Ben police interactions, but also a brand-new exclusive interview of Reckless Ben, where he tells me everything that is currently happening. Oh and you’ll finally hear from the lawyer who has agreed to take on this police department and file civil rights lawsuits. There’s a ton here, so let’s go through it.

A 200,000 dollar Lego collection went missing. A YouTuber started to cover it. And then cops in Utah started to cover it up. It went viral all over the world. Then I started to cover it, and now I’m on part 4. We’ve gone from Reckless Ben and his friends being stopped and harassed; to them being stopped and harassed more and accused of having and being on drugs; to now Reckless Ben being placed in handcuffs, arrested and taken to jail. All by different officers with the American Fork Police Department. Now we know mostly how that happened, having recovered much of the previously hidden and redacted audio of the conversations that led to the arrest, and it’s even worse than I thought.

We’ve been covering the story of how a single phone call between two drama queen grown men – Josh Johnson and Officer Tonga of the American Fork Police Department – somehow escalated into a worldwide internet phenomenon that has permeated every layer of content and discussion in our society. Everything from lawyers on YouTube to stand-up comedy – and even regular TV news. In my last video I explained how that one phone call turned into Reckless Ben and his friend Tyler being illegally detained by the American Fork Police Department that very first day. Now we’re going to use the unredacted bodycam footage to show what happened the very next day. And it’s much, much worse. I re-interviewed Tyler Shaw, who you’ll see was the primary victim of the American Fork Police Department’s abuse and harassment.

Since I talked with Reckless Ben about the stolen Lego situation and the ensuing harassment and retaliation he received from the American Fork Police Department in Utah, a lot has happened. I got the chance to talk to the other guy with Ben in the videos, Tyler Shaw, who was the one driving the car – the same guy the cops falsely accused of being on drugs. And most importantly, I now have access to the full set of unredacted bodycam videos, that believe it or not, make the American Fork Police Department look even worse than before. Whatever the truth is about the underlying dispute about the Legos, one thing is for sure. This police department chose to take sides in that dispute, and abuse their authority and trample constitutional rights in the process.

Hundreds, or maybe thousands of you, reached out to me about covering the Reckless Ben Lego videos. Ben reached out to me as well. Basically, he made a video about a stolen Lego collection that ended with him getting arrested and charged by the American Fork Police Department in Utah County, Utah. I was immediately intrigued and I wanted to help him. But before I could do that, I had to understand all of the facts. I needed to talk to Ben himself. I got a chance to interview Ben and review all of the court documents. This is Part 1, where I interview Ben. In Part 2, we’ll dive into the documents and the video of the interactions.

Wrong Woman Jailed 13 Days For Triple Fatal Crash

On October 4, 2025 on I-4 near mile marker 108 in Volusia County, Florida, a Dodge Durango made an unsafe lane change, triggering a violent chain-reaction crash involving motorcycles and multiple vehicles. Three people were killed. The Dodge Durango fled the scene, leading to a massive manhunt. The public was demanding justice. After a 6 month investigation, law enforcement finally made an arrest, and charged 23 year old Lindsey Isaacs with multiple felonies, including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. Lindsey drove a black Dodge Durango and flock camera technology showed her driving on I-4 that night near where the crash occurred. Also, investigators said they found damage on her Durango consistent with the crash. So they threw her in jail where she was denied bond and even placed in solitary confinement. The only problem was… they had the wrong Dodge Durango. This woman was completely innocent.

37 Days in Jail For Posting a Meme | County Pays $835,000 | Sheriff Gaslights Public

A couple of months ago I told you the story of Larry Bushart, who spent 37 days behind bars simply for posting a meme in a Facebook group. That video was a collaboration with FIRE, a national nonprofit First Amendment advocacy organization, who had just filed the civil rights lawsuit against Perry County, Tennessee, Sheriff Nick Weems and Investigator Jason Morrow, for multiple constitutional violations. That case just settled. Despite costing taxpayers in his county almost a million dollars due to his total disregard of Larry’s constitutional rights, Sheriff Nick Weems remains defiant, blaming everyone but himself.

As promised, here is the footage showing Officer Michael Bell, formerly of the Grayson Kentucky Police Department, arresting 19 year old Caleel Ware, a baseball player at a local university. Bell, along with another officer, angry because he thought Caleel was embarrassing his baseball team, used force on him, including tasing him, pepper spraying him in the face multiple times, and then shutting him inside this contaminated interview room for an extended period of time, as he begged for help. Also, the City of Greyson has now publicly responded to the first two videos.

Blows a ZERO, Gets Arrested Anyway – WINS in Court (part 2)

Nathan Stephens was arrested on a fake DUI in Kentucky. It was all caught on bodycam, which shows him blowing a zero on the breathalyzer and also passing all the field sobriety tests, and then him being arrested anyway. Nate knew he wasn’t drunk. Officer Bell of the Grayson, Kentucky Police Department claimed he could smell alcohol on Nate. He agreed to a breath test and blew a zero – no alcohol in his system. Nate then passed all of the field sobriety tests, which Officer Bell admitted, initially telling Nate he would not be going to jail for DUI because he had agreed to take the tests. But then, after Nate said he would have sued the officer had he arrested him, the two cops covered up the bodycam and had a private conversation, ending with them then changing their mind about arresting Nate, and throwing him in the back of the police cruiser, handcuffed.

All of this we covered in the last video – Part 1 of this story: In this video, I’m going to tell you everything that happened next, including what happened when it went to court, as well as the latest update from Nate’s lawyer (as of yesterday).

Blows a ZERO, Passes FSTs, Gets Arrested Anyway – WINS in Court

Nathan Stephens is into fitness and bluegrass. He doesn’t drink. But after a teenager backed into him in his neighborhood, a local cop with the Grayson (Kentucky) Police Department accuses him of being drunk – which he wasn’t. Nathan takes a breathalyzer test and passes. He blows a 0.00 – no alcohol in his system. He then performs the field sobriety tests and passes (which the officer admits). Yet somehow, Nathan still gets arrested for DUI and is taken to jail. How does that even happen?
