I was surprised that my necklace cam shut off after 19 minutes on its own. That was the gopro 12.
The gopro 11 inside my car lasted for an hour and 30 minutes. This phone cam is Samsung s20.

Closing Statement
Your Honor,
This case is built on a house of cards, and it collapses under scrutiny. The prosecution would have you believe that my arrest was justified, but the facts tell a different story—a story where my constitutional rights were disregarded and where the officers’ own testimony contradicts itself.
At the heart of this case, there is no smoking gun—no real crime, no evidence of wrongdoing. The officers never had reasonable suspicion to demand my identification. That is the bloody knife in this case—the clear proof that this was an unlawful stop. Without reasonable suspicion, their demand for ID was a violation of my Fourth Amendment rights.
The prosecution might try to distract from this reality with red herrings, like claiming I was “casing the place” or acting suspiciously. But suspicion alone, without a crime, does not justify police intervention. If it did, then any person minding their own business could be stopped, questioned, and arrested simply for not answering an officer’s demands. That is not how the law works.
We have followed a trail of breadcrumbs, revealing that this library is not just a library—it operates as a de facto police substation. Officers don’t just patrol it; they occupy it, use it for their own purposes, and interact with staff in ways that suggest a deeper relationship than the public is aware of. This is the skeleton in the closet—the uncomfortable truth that the prosecution doesn’t want to acknowledge.
The officers claim they were simply following procedure. But their testimony doesn’t add up. Their broken alibi is clear when their own statements contradict each other. If this were truly about enforcing the law, they would be consistent in their reasoning. Instead, we’ve seen a house of cards built on vague accusations and faulty reasoning.
And let’s not ignore the reality of this situation: the dice were loaded against me from the start. From the moment I was approached, it wasn’t about enforcing the law—it was about exerting control. The officers knew they had no reasonable suspicion, yet they demanded ID anyway, expecting me to comply simply because they wore a badge. That is not how justice works. The law should not favor authority over rights, yet here I am, fighting a charge that never should have existed in the first place.
What does this mean for my case? It means that the writing is on the wall—the officers had no lawful reason to demand my ID, and therefore, my arrest was unconstitutional. The law does not allow police to demand identification unless they have reasonable suspicion of a crime. That is the nail in the coffin for the prosecution’s case.
Your Honor, this case is about more than just one arrest. It is about a Pandora’s box—if law enforcement is allowed to operate this way without accountability, how many others will have their rights violated? If a person sitting in a public library, minding their own business, can be arrested for failing to provide ID when no crime has been committed, then we have opened the door to unchecked police authority.
At the end of the day, my defense is a bulletproof alibi: I was lawfully in the library, I committed no crime, and I was under no legal obligation to provide identification. The law is clear, and the officers ignored it. That is the last straw—the fatal flaw in the prosecution’s case.
For these reasons, I ask that the court recognize what the evidence has shown: this was an unlawful arrest, and the charge should not stand.
Thank you.
After reviewing the relevant ordinances and municipal codes for Weatherford, Texas, there is **no explicit mention of an ordinance prohibiting napping in parks**. However, park activities are generally governed by broader regulations related to public behavior, safety, and property use. Here’s a summary of relevant provisions that *might* indirectly apply to prolonged or disruptive activities like napping in parks:
1. **Public Nuisance and Property Maintenance**
The city’s Code Enforcement team enforces regulations against public nuisances, which include conditions that threaten public health, safety, or welfare. For example, if napping in a park were deemed to create unsanitary conditions, block public access, or violate safety standards, it could fall under nuisance ordinances .
2. **Parking and Unimproved Surfaces**
Weatherford prohibits parking on unimproved surfaces (e.g., grass) in public spaces . While not directly related to napping, this highlights the city’s focus on maintaining orderly public areas, which could extend to restricting activities that damage landscaping or disrupt designated park uses.
3. **Zoning and Public Space Use**
Title XII of the municipal code regulates zoning and land use, including public spaces like parks. While the use charts in Chapter 4 do not explicitly address napping, they emphasize permitted activities in specific zones. Parks are typically zoned for recreational use, and prolonged personal use (e.g., sleeping) might conflict with these designations .
4. **Temporary Events and Permits**
Events like the First Monday Trade Days in Heritage Park require coordination with the Parks Department . This suggests that organized activities in parks are regulated, but casual use (like resting) is generally permitted unless it violates time restrictions or other posted rules.
**Recommendation**:
If you are concerned about specific park behavior, contact **Weatherford Code Enforcement** (817-598-4284) or the **Parks, Recreation, and Special Events Department** (817-598-4359) for clarification. They can provide guidance on local interpretations of nuisance or zoning rules in parks .

It's funny to watch my prosecutor struggle to have to continue to remember his continued lies year after year for this. However, the city judge and even the appeals court is covering for him a little too much...
Judge Owsley says that I owe my prosecutor, Benjamin, all my evidence. Judge Barber says that no electronics are allowed in the courtroom while I watch my prosecutor playing on his phone. I write all my cross examination questions down on paper, and now they are at risk of getting into my prosecutors hands when I am arrested for the Natchitoches bench warrant. This is just another prejudicial action threatening my case on top of a huge list of prejudice that has already occurred.

Is .a Fair Trial Possible When the Prosecution Sees the Defense’s Strategy?
Imagine preparing for your own legal defense, carefully crafting cross-examination questions to challenge the prosecution’s case, only to have those very questions fall into the hands of the prosecutor before trial. This is the concern facing a defendant who has been denied a public defender and is representing themselves in court.
"If I’m arrested on a bench warrant while carrying my written cross-examination questions, police could seize them, and there’s nothing stopping them from sharing those notes with the prosecutor," the defendant explains. "How can I get a fair trial if the state gets an advance look at my defense strategy?"
This raises a troubling issue: Does the justice system provide equal protection to those who cannot afford an attorney? The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to legal representation, but when a defendant is forced to represent themselves and their trial preparation is at risk of being compromised, it calls into question whether the system truly ensures due process.
Legal protections exist for attorney work product, but for pro se defendants—those forced to defend themselves without legal counsel—there are fewer safeguards. If an arrest leads to police seizing written legal materials, what prevents the prosecution from gaining an unfair advantage? Should judges take steps to protect self-represented defendants from this risk?
These are questions that demand public scrutiny. If courts fail to address this issue, it could mean that justice is not just unequal—it’s deliberately stacked against those who can’t afford to pay for it.
It took some time to quickly edit the 360 and render it, then upload it. But the cops were still around by the time I finished up.

I thought I was connected, so I went straight to chatgpt. If I was connected, I could have been on sooner. But the library disconnected me and made me go through an acceptance of the wifi terms all over again.this was frustrating.

Officer Martinez was disappointed that my 360 cam didn't pick up his face clearly, so I'm posting this side cam video, which shows him much better.

I parked on a dead end road in front of the library, and a very peaceful spot, with wifi access, I decided to try and relax here. However, it's suspicious behavior to a cop.
