On a day that most Americans were quietly gathering in remembrance of those who gave their lives in defense of the country, Jose “Chille” DeCastro released several videos highlighting his perceived mistreatment by police and the judicial system.
The first of DeCastro’s videos featured DeCastro and then-sidekick Floyd Wallace walking around displays at the Las Vegas police department before his scheduled meeting with internal affairs. DeCastro objected to the display of a “thin blue line” symbol on a Nevada license plate on display at the entrance of the building.
The women working the front counter listened to his complaints but told him that they would not remove the license plate from display.
DeCastro’s second video featured an apparent recent traffic stop in Las Vegas where DeCastro bragged about going through a traffic light that was turning from yellow to red. He was pulled over by police and exited his vehicle to confront police.
When the police asked him to stay in one place, and continued to herd him to that spot, DeCastro claimed they were attempting to “torture” him by placing hands on him.
It is unclear from the video if DeCastro received a citation for running a red light as the video ends with DeCastro being told that he was free to leave by the gathered police officers.
The final video, released as Memorial Day was ending on the West Coast, concerned DeCastro’s pending response to Google’s motion to have their portion of his Massachusetts based copyright case against Kate Peter, Josh Abrams, 50 John Doe YouTube creators, 20 John Doe YouTube workers and YouTube itself either be dismissed or moved to the Federal Court in Santa Clara, California.
DeCastro stated that YouTube should not be allowed to move the case to Santa Clara as he was not allowed to have his case dismissed in order to refile it in California by Judge Allison D. Burroughs last fall.
Burroughs ruled that since Josh Abrams and Kate Peter had replied to his initial lawsuit with counterclaims before DeCastro made his motion to dismiss, that the case could not be dismissed at the time with the intent to refile the case in California.
In response to this ruling, DeCastro amended the case to change the focus on copyright issues and then essentially refiled his original charges against Peter in California’s state level court, dropping Abrams from the charges.
DeCastro, addressing the current motion, indicated that YouTube was only a secondary party in the current version of the case and was only brought into the lawsuit as he claims they violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act when it refused to take down any and all YouTube videos he says misused his copy written material.
The YouTuber and self-proclaimed journalist stated that YouTube was insignificant to the lawsuit and ignored YouTube’s own request to have the case dismissed completely as DeCastro has made no actual claims against YouTube or provided examples of how YouTube allegedly caused him harm.
As usual for recent videos by DeCastro, the video ended with a confusing statement. In his extended list of grievances, DeCastro stated that YouTube should be forced to write original motions against him and be denied the use of “boilerplate” filings against him.
DeCastro, who is alleged to have copied motions in this lawsuit from other lawsuits he’s found from google searches and allegedly relies on AI program ChatGPT to help him write his original motions, made the demand at the close of video and it is unclear if the Judge in the case has the power to grant his demand.
The new filing is expected to be released later today.
