The timeline in the Reckless Ben saga may show even more police corruption

Over the past few weeks, as I have started working on this project, I have tried to stay true to my original idea, focusing on conspiracies, cryptids, UFOs, and the unexplained, with some history sprinkled in. As a person fascinated with researching this type of stuff, I just wanted to find my own outlet, even if it isn't really seen. But today, I am branching off a little into the Grand Theft LEGO saga.

Technically, at least in my view, the Reckless Ben - Bricks & Minifigs story would fall under true crime, but it would sit just outside the mainstream view of the topic, which is usually dealing with serial killers, kidnapping, or some type of murder mystery. While none of those apply, it has taken on a life of its own, with theft, corruption, greed, and police departments that have forgotten about the Constitution. 

Today, I'm not talking about the who story; I am diving into the timeline of events and how in my opinion, it may prove that Officer Dore of the Provo Police Department may have gone even further to violate Reckless Ben's constitutional rights than the officers in American Fork. By now, the amount of corruption shown on the bodycam footage from the multiple jurisdictions has been dissected in detail, but there's one from Orem, Utah, that may be the key to unlocking the true timeline of events. 

In the now-infamous bodycam footage of CEO Ammon McNeff calling Reckless Ben a sociopath and begging for permission to arm his employees, the timeline and depth of the situation become clear, but are often overlooked. But if you pull back the curtain to look at where this story sat when that call takes place, it becomes clear. 

The date of Ammon's call to the Orem Police was March 11, just hours before Ben was arrested for a second time. During the call, McNeff was panicked and frustrated that Ben had been released from jail earlier in the day (those charges are subject to debate). 

The real question is why McNeff was so adamant that Reckless Ben needed to be arrested and forced to stay in jail? To that point, there had only been an interaction in Oregon at a specific store, an interaction in December at the corporate headquarters in Provo,  and the arrest on March 10 for attempting to serve legal papers. To this point, no video was released, and the story was not circulating in the news. Just say, his reaction and interaction with the officer on the phone did not track. Unless...

This is where, if you pay attention and are familiar with the videos, it becomes clear that McNeff knew what was on the horizon and was doing everything in his power to silence Ben before the release of the videos. And really, there is likely only one way that could have happened: Officer Medina Dore or the Provo Police Department.  

In Part 3 of the series, Ben shared the sweeping Google warrant that Dore got for all of his data in February. While the claims she made for extortion or obstruction never led to charges from the Provo Police for either infraction, it did give Dore access to all of the raw footage that Reckless Ben accumulated in filming his series up until February. Meaning the only way Ammon McNeff would have known about how potentially damning the video would be in March was if, in some way, Dore (or someone in the Provo legal system) shared an overview of the material (or the footage) with him. 

This is in no way an accusation against Officer Dore (or the police department), but it's an opinion after taking a commonsense approach to the timeline, based solely on the emotional reactions and the fact that the first video wasn't released until May 21st. With both Josh Johnson's and McNeff's reactions in March to Reckless Ben showing up to serve papers, they had to know something more was in play than just a YouTuber collecting footage, and if there wasn't, their reactions beg for further investigation. 

To further back this up, look at the timing of the sweeping civil lawsuit. Why did Bricks & Minifigs wait until after the videos were released in May to file the crazy lawsuit and obtain the much-criticized TRO if it was such a threat in March? Maybe because they had to wait until the material they saw was released, because their previous knowledge would open a lot more questions and reveal even more corruption. 

This is just a thought and a theory, nothing more, but for some reason this keeps coming to mind the more I dig into the Salem Brick Trials. #BrickbyBrick
