I wish he went into more detail about the situation with the police seeming to collude with this business owner to harass and intimidate ben. That's the bigger story.
The legos and sick old man are the hook, but the meat of this situation is a corrupt police department colluding with a local church to protect a corrupt business owner.
Like even if Ben were just a total troll and was in the wrong... These cops have completely fucked themselves if it gets federally investigated. It's cut and dried federal conspiracy by Utahs statutes. 5 to life per count. Basically a law designed for officials.
The unredacted bodycam stuff is wild.
He says at the end that in the next video he will talk more about Reckless Ben's internet campaign, so I'm presuming/hoping that will be covered. This video was just talking about the legal complexity of the various claims, denials, and (actual and potential) arguments of all the parties involved in the ownership and possession of the property itself. The next one may be juicer in terms of criminal activity.
