But the other thing that they forgot to tell the News is that he was sustained a policy violation, a moral character violation for committing a felony, whether prosecuted or not.

One called me a YouTube clown (Mike Chitwood) and the man pictured reached out to me about 8 months ago offering to arrange a lunch to meet with a local cheif to discuss differences. That was James Powers for Volusia County Sheriff not Chitwood

If you live in Time for someone else. Not the tyrant that’s been in there covering things up for years.

Oh here we go - Flagler sheriff going after someone for publishing records they created. While I don’t think anyone’s photo should be public unless they want them to be this is making something criminal that it’s not. 🙄

Get ready for this week - a pretty impactful case in Orlando. We will be at the Federal Courthouse seeing how the prosecutor is going to argue and how the judge is going to rule on the case of filming in a federal building.

James Madison Audits was in Jax Federal Court about 8 months ago with attorney Eric Friday on the government's prosecutor's belief that YouTube creators are not considered bona fide media. The judge disagreed, and the amicus brief did not need to be filed.

Nation and is a Public Service have a solid defense and an unnecessary fight that is absolutely ridiculous to be tried.

Update - NSB pd removed their tag. If this New Smyrna Beach Police Department is not blue they removed it again.

New Smyrna Beach Police Department Eric Feldman was carrying a police-issued AR-15 rifle in his vehicle when, according to a report, there was an accidental discharge at his residence in New Smyrna, as indicated by redactions in the report. The rifle was loaded and reportedly not set to 'safe' at the time of the incident.

Chief Eric Feldman has been serving as the police chief of New Smyrna Beach since 2023 and has over 24 years of experience in state, local, and federal law enforcement, according to his LinkedIn profile. He describes himself as a SWAT leader and commander, highlighting his extensive background in law enforcement.

Despite his expertise, Feldman reportedly left his firearm in his vehicle with a round chambered and without the safety engaged. Although the specific model of the rifle was not documented in the report, department policy typically assigns a C**t AR-15 as the patrol rifle. Detective Jordan Ishikawa, who authored the report, failed to document the make, model, and serial number of the rifle.

According to Volusia Sheriff Policy: Authorized deputies shall carry the AR-15 or M-16 in the Department issued rifle mount. The weapon will be locked in the following “Patrol Carry” condition:
(1) Bolt forward; no round in the chamber
(2) Inserted magazine of 28 rounds
(3) Safety in the “on” position
(4) Ejection port cover closed
(5) Tactical sling attached as issued
(6) Tactical light in working order
Likely New Smyrna Beach Police has a very similar policy for patrol carry. This has been requested and a source close to the department said they are required to carry them in patrol carry. This would have been prevented if policy was followed.
Normally in an instance such as this if an officer was involved in a discharge that occured with property damage, an internal investigation would be done.
Florida Statute 790.15 (1) governs the discharge of fi****ms in public or on residential property. The statute provides that any person who knowingly discharges a firearm in a public place... is guilty of a misdemenaor.
With training, experience, and the New Smyrna Beach Police policy, this statute does not provide intent, or any malace required, but with so much training one would know that eventually this gun would go off negligently if loaded and not on safe stored in a mess in the back of a car.

REPORT:
On June 24, 2024, at approximately 0550 hours, Chief Eric Feldman was in the (REDACTED) New Smyrna Beach. At this time, Chief Feldman was loading his duty belt into the rear secured storage box of his unmarked city vehicle. His agency issued patrol rifle was previously secured in the secured storage box. The muzzle of the firearm was pointed towards the left (driver) side of the vehicle, in the secured storage box. It appears that the buckle of the duty belt was able to press the trigger and subsequently discharged one round from the rifle. It should be noted that during the time of the incident, it was dark outside with very low visibility.
After hearing the firearm discharge, Chief Feldman checked the scene for any injuries or damage. It was found the that the only damage caused was to the secured storage box and the rear driver side fender of the city unmarked vehicle. The discharged projectile did not exit the fender of the vehicle and was trapped within the plastic fender. An area check also revealed that there were no witnesses or injuries to anyone in the area at the time of discharge.
Upon completion of the area check, Chief Feldman immediately notified the Command Captain, Captain Kirkland and his immediate supervisor, City Manager Khalid Resheidat. Two digital photographs of the damages were uploaded to Evidence.com.
This report was taken for documentation purposes. This is a complete report.

The report lacks details that would typically be included if the incident involved a regular citizen rather than someone with a badge and gun. Additionally, no body camera footage is available, as a patrol officer was not dispatched to handle the call; instead, an investigator who likely was not on duty at the time was called in to address the incident. Despite evidence of what appears to be a a bullet hole and exit, the report claims the .223 round did not pe*****te the plastic bumper.

Well, the city of Holly Hill doesn’t like Public Records requests and they hide comments on their page. There are four missing comments that I cannot see.

This post has the City Clerk email in it. If you have a useful Public Records request excluding what they’ve had a meltdown with for the whole administration was terminated resigned or otherwise let go send a message and you can shoot me your request findings that James Madison Audits .com.

Beware the clerk might roll her eyes at you

These cops were accused of taking trophy photos by attorney! omg

Policing in America has never been less transparent, despite the advent of body-worn cameras (BWCs) and clear legal guidelines on public records. You can request any document or video from the police and receive it, unless there are exemptions that allow for redaction. Agencies often attempt to hide...

Heroes

Over the weekend DBPD responded to calls related to subjects shooting BB guns at buildings and vehicles within an apartment complex. Upon arriving contact was made with several male juveniles, later identified as the subjects who were shooting. It was later determined they were shooting Orbeez guns. We recovered a total of 3 Orbeez guns and made a total of 4 arrest.

There is zero tolerance for the misuse of Orbeez guns in Daytona Beach. The misuse of an Orbeez gun will lead to an arrest.

Police Chief won’t say yes to turning cops lights on in school zone instead digs heels in on writing tickets instead of higher visibility.

[email protected] is a hardhead for sure.

Many parents showed up for a council meeting at the City of Port Orange on Tuesday, June 4th, 2024, to express their feelings, concerns, and ideas about the recent death of ShaoLan Kamaly. ShaoLan lost her life in front of the school when a driver allegedly was speeding and not abiding by traffic si...

A warm welcome to Kyle Walker to Edgewater’s police department.

He abruptly left the Orange City Police Department this year and popped up at this pd.

According to sources the Edgewater police department is the only department at full capacity for employees. So they could be selective in their hiring.

Here’s his most recent video. https://youtube.com/shorts/6f04yfcEu4c?si=qeuyVK4r3IJN6hb2

Deputy Stephen Corbin - I worked with this guy - never suspected something like this but then again acab. He was arrested for telling a woman he would arrest her if she didn’t perform certain acts. They got him for bribery, false imprisonment solicitation and are investigating more.

But here’s the kicker. Volusia Sheriff's Office is riddled with s*x misconduct. Even when chitwood was at Daytona there’s a slew of things that seemed to follow him. Yet I’m the YouTube clown.

Imagine working a rock festival (note his farmer tan) and you had to go to the worst part of Daytona to pick up nasty trash to bring home what you catch to your wife.

This is Florida Highway Patrol cop who was arrested for breaking into ho***rs and alleged to have stolen beer taps. He’s also the cop that threatened to arrest me for filming on the sidewalk in port orange. He later apologized. Lol

Busted! Homestead attorneys judge shopping

I recently informed you of my newest public records lawsuit against Homestead and its Attorney, Matthew Pearl:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24530235-petition-for-mandamus

Apparently, Pearl did not want the case to be heard in front of the Honorable Jose Rodriguez. So, Pearl moved to have the case transferred to Judge Migna Sanchez-Llorens:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24564267-195774626-motion-to-transfer

I could not understand why Pearl wanted the transfer so badly that they would lie on every substantive point of their motion. These lies were clearly pointed out in my response in opposition:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24564258-resp-in-oppo-to-transfer

The Administrative Judge originally decided not to transfer the case, then after Homestead Attorney Matthew Mandel made a few more outright lies as well as critical omissions, the judge reversed course and issued the transfer.

That led to some public records research, and low and behold we found the smoking gun!!!

Attorney Pearl reviewed and approved a contract for $24,500, just below the threshold requiring council review, to the law firm of Shutts and Bowen:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24564265-18-cm-016-shutts-_-bowen-summ

A little further digging and we find that Rene J. Gonzalez-Llorens is a law partner at Shutts and Bowen:
https://www.shutts.com/professionals-rene-j-gonzalez-llorens

Lastly, Rene is the husband of Judge Sanchez-Llorens, and now we know why Pearl went judge-shopping specifically for thus judge.

Houston we have a problem.

Under Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration, Rule 2.330(e)(2) a judge whose spouse has more than a de minimis economic interest in the City of Homestead, is clear grounds for disqualification.

I sent Pearl an email and copied his colleagues as well as the Mayor, Council, and City Manager:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24564266-gmail-financial-conflict-of-interest

Let’s see if they move to have the transfer reversed, or if they force me to move to disqualify their chosen judge.

Why don’t they want you to see Khawley’s deposition video? Is it because Khawley committed perjury in relation to his actions which led to the deaths of three children?

Stay tuned for more updates.
