    The second video will also land on YT, just with a delay. Spoiler: It got worse for him and he had to leave the US to Mexico.

      Thanks, I figured it would end up on YouTube but I’ll probably never see it unless it is posted to Lemmy again. And maybe not then.

      It was an interesting enough story to take up my time while I’m laying here sick. But after that non ending I don’t think I’ll watch another one.

      Appreciate the post though!

        There’s part 2 of the video and it is a whole order of magnitude more insane. Utah police essentially come out in force to intimidate and arrest anyone trying to serve these franchise owners with court papers, going as far as claiming theyre transporting heroin and searching their car for 3 hours to having a SWAT team raid their AirBnB with the claim that they (Ben) actually stole the Lego. The entire group was arrested and Ben was being held without bail until a judge actually looked at the case and released him. The PD then filed new charges calling him a danger to the public.

        This whole situation is currently unfolding so there is no “ending” to be had at this point.

          That is insane, thank you for the update. It sucks they have to go through all this to get the Legos back. Hopefully a resolution does come soon. And hopefully someone looks into those police officers.
