Chapter 1: What is Andrew Sheets' experience with law enforcement?
Charlotte County Sheriff's Office teaches classes about me. Guy and a lady had a bullhorn, put it on siren. I was assaulted eight times on camera. The cops literally told me, I cannot defend myself because they will charge me. To me, it is fun turning people on, almost getting your ass kicked. They lost their mind. I knew something was wrong. We walk up to the courthouse, touch the door.
You know what the lawyer said? You sure you don't want to plead guilty for this? I'm like, oh my God.
Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I am here with Andrew Sheets, and he is a, I'm going to say First Amendment auditor, right? Would you, what would you say?
Yes and no. I started a Charlotte County Cop Watch. I actually mainly pull records and expose it. So how would you introduce yourself? Andrew Sheets with Charter County Cop Watch for 10 years, pulling records and exposing it. That's good. We're going to go with that.
And we're going to do an interview and he's got 10 years worth of stuff to talk about and check out the interview. How did we end up... I ended up doing Rogue Nation. That is correct. And did Rogue Nation connect me with you?
No, I saw that you did an interview with them and then I reached out and that's how we connected.
Oh, okay.
Because I thought if you're going to interview him, why not me?
All right. Yeah, cool. And then... Okay. So, and then you sent me a bunch of stuff. That is correct. About the lawsuit and getting arrested, the lawsuit, the whole freedom of speech lawsuit. And we'll get into that. But so basically, so why do you feel like you're not, do you feel like you're not a First Amendment person?

Chapter 2: How has Andrew Sheets been impacted by freedom of speech laws?
Okay, it also says in the statute, you can report it to the state attorney general. Ashley Moody. So here's what's interesting. I actually caught Ashley Moody at a pat a cop on the back dinner for all the all the public employees. It was mainly for the pat a cop on. That's what I call it. OK, so I went to that dinner. They were not happy when I showed up and me and the guy that was on the list.
um i had we i we we both did hidden body cameras and the way that we did at that time is you know that there's applications on your phone where you can record right right yeah you can you can the phone looks like it's off but it's not right so i i come up with mine in my pocket okay he comes up with
The camera's just sticking out over the... That's correct.
It was beautiful, dude. So we go up there with the proof of what happened, okay? So here, my sheriff is over here. She's right here. And we go up, you know, here's a proof. We would like to, you know, submit this as evidence. And all of a sudden, my sheriff, Bill Promell from Charlotte County, comes up behind her and says, I need to talk to you. And that was violating me giving evidence.
You know and I know that alone, obstruction, correct? Right. Right. Did they do anything? No. You know what? In fact, you know what she did at the dinner that day? You know, after, you know, who knows what he said to her, right? You know, he's evil. He actually, he's exposing corruption. She literally was talking without saying my name, how people like me are bad.
Okay.
So I just showed the sheriff committed a felony and she's still backing him.
Right.
Is that sad?

Chapter 3: What challenges did Andrew face while auditing?
Or is it just state? That's state. That's a state statute, which is law.
Yeah, but the problem is you're asking the state to police themselves.
That's correct.
And the sheriff, if you're going to become a – a prosecutor in Florida, it's nice to have all of the sheriff's support.
That is correct.
So then you turn around and say, hey, by the way, now I have to file a suit against you. I have to charge you, file a suit, and we have to get you fined. And you have to give us, out of your $40 million budget, we want $5 million for the fine. Correct. That's going to be a problem.
And you are correct. It never went anywhere. It is sad. So the lawyer that tried... You never did it, man.
What about the FDLE? Couldn't they prosecute that law?
Oh, my God. In my opinion, they're a joke, too. I did go there. Dude, I went everywhere. Like I said, that's what I did. That's why, like I said, I am an otter, but I'm not an otter. But I did. I would go there with the body camera. Right. I would talk to them, let them know, and they didn't care. By the way, this is the same sheriff that went on the radio and literally complained. There's people.

Chapter 4: What are the risks of being a First Amendment auditor?
Right.
You go off the back roads, there will be a, and when I say massive, that's an understatement, how big these warehouses are.
Okay.
They are insanely massive. Right. And they're empty. So there's an insanely massive empty warehouse.
Right.
Maybe they just finished it.
Right.
But you can literally like the doors will be open. Like you can see right through it. You're like, there's nothing there. Right. The parking lot, it's empty. And this thing is huge. It's huge. And you look at it and you're like, that is the size of 20 or 30 cars. Home depots. Right. You know, you could put four or five stadiums in that thing. It's so huge. Then you drive down the street.
There's another one. There's another one. You drive, you turn two minutes later. There's two of them. There's another one. So I'll pull out my phone and video them and send these little 20-second or 10-second videos to Chris because I already know what Chris's theory is.

Chapter 5: How does Andrew Sheets document police activity?
So check this out. So my lawyer, I did. So I got a different lawyer because the first lawyer sucked balls. Right. So I get this bulldog in town, Kevin Shirley. He's known as the bulldog. And I hire him. And so here I am. I'm in jail. I'm like, oh, my God. And so we asked for bond. Okay. Okay. And again, this judge has a hard-on for me. We found out later he has a super hard-on for me.
By the way, I forgot to tell you, before I even went to court, he tried to get me for not coming into court. My lawyer was there and I was not there. And I don't know if you know this, in Florida, under a misdemeanor, I don't have to be there, okay? If I hire a lawyer, he can be there for me. Absolutely. Dude, he tried to get me for a bench warrant, even before I went to court.
So he had a hard-on for me, right? So check this out. So we asked for a bond. Guess what he said? No. No. And we're like, you can't do that. And he's like, yes, I can. I am God. I'm translating. As you know, they think they're God. And that's what qualified immunity has fucked up our system because of that. Correct? Right. They think they're gods. Okay. The cops think they're gods.
The prosecutor thinks they're gods. The judge thinks they're gods. So anyways, so he filed, I forget what he filed. He filed something to say, you know, bring me the body or what. I forget what it is, but made him come back to court and explain why not a bond. And he's like, okay, fine. I'll give you a bond, but check this out. He did another illegal thing.
He goes, I'm going to give you a bond, but you can't use it until 30 days.
So you have to do 30 days.
Yes. Dude, you can't do that. Everybody in the jail, even though all the deputies and sheriffs hate me because I've been fighting the corruption for years. A lot of them, actually, I found out in the end, do like me because I'm fighting corruption. There's some real deal fucked up shit, right?
Yeah, but... Yeah, I mean, I agree. The problem is that those officers are working with other corrupt officers, so they basically have to keep that quiet. It's like they don't want to come out and support you because there's other guys that hate you.
That's correct. So what do they do to the people that come out? I mean, they set them up, they get rid of them. Yeah. So you already know about all that. All right. So anyways, so yes, we found out, you know, you know, we're in court and you're like, and even he said, he's like, I've talked to judges. He goes, I've talked to people here at the jail. Nobody's ever heard this. You can't do this.
