Despite showcasing his recent ticket for driving with a broken taillight in Wisconsin as an example of how he “dominates” police, Jose “Chille” DeCastro quietly resolved the citation on Friday by paying the $162.70 in fines and court costs associated with the case.
DeCastro spent a good portion of his Sunday night infomercial using footage from the October traffic stop as an example how his techniques work to “dominate” police and throw them off their games. He promoted his “5A Cop Card” and “Indestructible Trifold” based on what he assured his viewers would allow them to get out of traffic citations.
In the video played on Sunday night, DeCastro was yawning as drove, and he ignored flashing police lights behind him. He leisurely used hand signals to indicate that he would be turning left and eventually pulled into a gas station.
As a police officer approached the car, DeCastro began negatively interacting, telling the police officer that he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. When the police officer attempted to ask DeCastro further questions, he screamed at the officer and directed him to get out of his face.
Later, DeCastro again ignored the teachings of his trifold and left his car to confront the officers directly, indicating that they had no dominion over him. The video ended when DeCastro observed that his taillight seemed to be working properly and with a demand to the officers to see the dash cam footage of the traffic stop.
As reported last week, DeCastro did not contest the ticket and lost the case by default judgement when he failed to appear in court. His fine was paid electronically, and the incident resolved itself without further intervention by the controversial YouTuber.
