[13:49] was like, I know, you know, cuz we uh we're contracting. >> So then the cops. So I imagine right now he's just waiting for the cops to show apparently. >> That that's pretty cool.

[14:01] >> They just got to keep making small talk so he doesn't leave. Like all out here in Youngtown. Like we uh most of these guys, we know them, but you know, we got to be a little careful.

[14:15] >> It's good to not be known for our line of work. For sure. know we're here. You don't want You don't want to know us though. >> That's [ __ ] awesome, Anthony. I like that. He's He's just part of the team.

[14:30] Yeah. It's probably best not to be known for our line of work. Best just to be seen, but not not known, per se. [snorts] Like a dream that you can't fully remember. We exist only in myth, only in faded memories. And that's best

[14:47] for our line of work. >> Arrested. Never. Yeah. Back in. >> What just happened? Wait, Anony's on a Is that Anthony on a case right now? Wait, he's got the kid on.

[15:01] Wait, he's got the kid on. Wait, things just took a a a big change here. We're watching him in full LAR mode. Do a favor. Chance in your head. You're not under arrest, but I do have to uh

[15:19] >> Is this like a setup here to get Anthony in the act of performing an unlawful >> Nothing. >> No. Walk up. My car.

[15:40] fun of me. I wasn't. That's the be [ __ ] like that. >> He's just employed now. They hired >> him. >> that tall dude that was >> wait is this

[15:55] dispute here. >> Explain to him. coming over to this guy if it's just to set up Anthony? >> He put me in uh he called the securityities and the securityities

[16:08] pulled up and the other guy pulled up. What is happening? >> It was uh That's what I was looking for. I didn't see any kind of identifying >> No. >> So, he never had a badge. He never

[16:22] >> Did he ever say, "I'm a veiled bondsman?" immediately came up to you and told you to put your hands behind your back and put you in handcuffs. Okay.

[16:34] >> Oh, I see. It cut Okay. This is the same guy that was on the the curb. that. >> He goes too much like to to have a

[16:46] conflict going on. You know, >> he asked you so we were going over there were here. So, we came >> unlawfully detained you and a crime was committed against you. If he committed a crime against you, would you be willing

[17:01] >> Yes, >> you would be willing to >> Oh [ __ ] Anony's got his arch nemesis. So, he's going to get your name and your you in as a victim. Okay? Just in case if

[17:14] >> Anony's heart is still probably racing [ __ ] 180 BPM right now after this. >> He got to arrest somebody. >> Obviously, like I said, >> That's why we're happy that >> real quick just to jump in and explain

[17:27] >> real quick just to jump in and explain what happened here. So the same night, Anthony then uh came over here and ended up unlawfully arresting this guy. Real

[17:39] privy to what's happened here about Anthony who identified himself as an officer. Though Anthony argues not a police officer or anything like that, he identified himself as an official and put him in handcuffs, which Anthony

[17:55] cannot do. So now they are investigating this and that's what's happening. I I little muddy there with the way the video was was cut. So just to clear up confusion, Anthony Dunn made a big boo boo over overstepping on his extreme

[18:11] LAR. Oh, and also even though he didn't explicitly say police officer, he was more than happy to let this guy presume he was a police officer that he was referring to. And regardless, Anthony can't do what he's done here under any

[18:26] circumstances. And it's about to spell disaster for him. Spoiler alert. Few hours later.

[18:39] night before. Before last. Okay. Can you tell us what went down? >> So, I'm not sure exactly what had happened before got on site because, you know, security guard was saying one thing, the other guy was saying another.

[24:15] >> I was not trying to impersonate nobody. >> Does that fall into his definition of firefighting potentially? >> My mind is moving really quickly.

[24:27] I spoke to in Glendale. I can give you the people I spoke to in Phoenix. Uh, as long as I call you guys, if I make any sort of arrest or anything like that, >> if I make any arrest, >> that's all I've ever

[24:46] horn with my superior. >> Maybe you've heard of him, Jason. all right. What's your information? All right. Give me a second. Okay. No warrant. Yes, I have. And then if they have warrants, if you guys aren't any

[25:00] Phoenix out, call Linda out, call whoever out, just so that they can verify that, hey, this is you guys would end up taking taking over at the end of the day. So, do you have a badge number or anything you give them or

[25:58] they do it? >> Either from the courts or from the >> So >> So if they don't give you any information on uh who has a warrant, you just take it upon yourself to go patrol

[26:12] and and look for people. >> I drive around. I don't really stop anybody. Um like incidents like LA like that night. Sure. I mean I'm already there. I can run up this. I don't see >> Why can you run?

[26:25] because it's like in my purview. I can verify if people have warrants or not. >> You just said that they only they assign you your warrant so you know who you're >> But I can also still verify if people have warrants. Like say I was just

[26:38] their name. I can always be like, "Hey, dude, I have a warrant." And I could verify. somebody's got a warrant, that is like strictly my anything to do

[26:52] with warrants is like and like I mean I contact the warrants division for you guys, the warrants division for Phoenix. Like I make it very known like what I'm confusion thing. >> So that guy that just rode by on his

[27:06] warrants. >> I'm not going to stop >> Well, yeah, but he outranks you. This is Anthony, bro. Just asking you the way that I have to always explain this. >> What was the what was the crime that was

[27:19] committed that night that gave you reasonable suspicion of probable cause warrants? >> He was making deathly threats to the >> did you hear those? >> No, but

[27:32] >> That would be my probable cause. >> How? >> Because the security guard was saying that he he was being threat. >> What was he doing when you got there? argue with the security guard.

[27:44] >> No. I've just heard >> Is it a crime to get into an argument? >> No. >> He wasn't even on the on QT's property. >> When you detained him, he was in the alley, right? He wasn't on QT property,

[27:57] >> man. They got up >> or circle circle. you say is >> that you have the right to detain enforcement first. So after you put the handcuffs on that on that guy and you

[28:10] us? >> I called DPS. >> Did you call them to tell him that you had him detained? >> Did you tell them that he was detained

[28:22] >> I told him he was detained. I didn't say I need an officer. officers. >> You were acting as a police officer. Am officer. >> You introduced yourself as an officer.

[28:36] You detained somebody without specifying that you were not a police officer. >> I wonder what that process is like to detain someone as not an officer? Like I know civilian arrests are like somewhat a thing kind of

[28:51] think they are. But like what would that look like in Anony's case? All right, look like in Anony's case? All right, listen. I'm detaining you. No, I'm not a police officer, but I'm going to slap these cuffs on you anyway. If you'd

[29:03] like, you can check my Fortnite KD. I am qualified to do this. You were getting >> Instead of calling law enforcement to come out and handle the operation is know it yet. >> Why?

[29:16] >> Yeah, we I went through a class I took. >> What kind of class? Was it an academy? >> It was a YouTube tutorial. >> What kind of training did you get? situations. >> How long was that training class?

[29:29] >> Uh 5 days. >> 5 days. Okay. I can just I can detain them to run them. so like [ __ ] Boba Fett, bro. This guy's out here like a galactic bounty

[29:42] and detain. >> You already said they give you your look statement. >> Yes and no. >> No, that's not reasonable. You cannot just stop anybody on the street and run

[29:56] agent or whatever your title was at that date. That's that's illegal. That's that, right? That's what I want to make sure that you understand because >> I'm starting to understand. >> Yeah. You went and patrolled with your

[30:10] vehicle that's equipped with red lights. >> You hung out with the security guards all night and then you acted as a law enforcement officer by detaining. >> Yeah, this guy already he must have already got in from the cameras.

[30:23] >> No probable cause. >> Are we on the same page here? I wasn't trying to overstep or stuff on anybody's toes or anything like that. >> And I'm not even getting a thank you for it.

[30:36] >> How How did you search him? Cuz we didn't really talk about that too much. >> Just held him and searched him. >> Did you say anything to him? I said >> a lot of nice things. >> I caressed his buttocks. I stood right

[30:49] in front of him. >> Where's your ID? Okay. Thank you. >> And you don't have to do any paper. >> Where's your ID? Happy to see me. >> His nipples a little bit. >> Hey, there you have it.

[31:01] blue blues worked? It wasn't last night when you were showing opinion security cuz we got that on camera, too. >> Is there anything else? [laughter]

[31:21] windshield. >> No guard card. No, no certification, >> just enforcement, >> and all it is is a fiveday course.

[31:37] to do what you've done. I want you to keep doing it. >> Like an hour and a half drive, but I have to be there at 7:30. >> I mean, he dug his own. >> What type of fire waits that long? I

[31:51] love that idea, guys. Look, I was supposed to get there by 7:30. This fire's been waiting all night for me to arrive. Dude, look, you if it spreads bad. [laughter]

[32:08] I don't think that's what he's trying to say, but I love that idea. >> With you, right? It's not in the car. Your firearm.

[32:23] would be captivated for nearly an hour. I was. That was probably some of the most extreme cop impersonation larping I've seen since Jeremy Dit. That was I've seen since Jeremy Dit. That was actually unbelievable.
