Recently had an "issue" with a local business that turned into me pressing charges on them. They tried to sue me because they broke the law. (makes as much sense to you as it does to me) They failed miserably, made fools of themselves in court, but best of all, I got the whole office's mug shots and now those are proudly displayed whenever you google the name of the business on their google review. I'm no marketing wizard, but I feel like that isn't a great thing to have when you run a service business...
I would love to provide a link but one lawsuit is still pending and I need to wait until that is finished to say everything. The review that is there now is sort of a rough draft with a vague explanation of why there are mugshots, I'll have to edit it later. In North Carolina, we have the ability to press charges privately. It's like a lawsuit, but, instead of money, they issue an arrest warrant for the other party. This business trespassed on my property and attempted to steal something, got ran off under threat of death, and then, showed up again 2 days later. They had no legal authority to do what they were doing, but seemed to think they did. (even after the police explained otherwise) Eventually, the employees that came to my house were arrested for trespassing and attempted theft, 3 of them, and then, the office manager who sent them got arrested too! In a lawsuit that has already been thrown out, they tried to sue me for threatening to shoot them. I told the judge yes, I absolutely said that, and I would have if they didn't leave. (We have very strong property rights in this state) The judge agreed it was reasonable under the circumstances. Bottom line is they are just extremely dumb hicks from a very rural place. There is literally no other explanation besides absolute and complete lack of brainpower. They're like the Florida man that calls the cops because he didn't get his drugs. I gotta say it was both a very nice and very weird feeling to have the cops be entirely on my side...usually it doesn't work like that. :)
Also, we had a case here (Portland OR), where a guy in a stolen car was being chased by police hit a woman....who was driving a stolen car...AND was being chased by police.
I heard about that! That was fairly recent, wasn’t it? Slightly different but there was an on-duty FDNY medic who had a major cardiac event while responding to an on-duty FDNY medic who had a stroke while driving. Every EMT and medic in the comments on the articles that followed were talking about how “these training scenarios are really getting out of hand!”

As someone who has an extremely hard time finding work at 31 because of crimes I legitimately committed at 18 and 19 years old and spent plenty of time "paying my dues" for, I can't imagine dealing with all of what I deal with and being completely innocent of not only the crime I was falsely reported for, but also the crime I was actually arrested for. What a fucking nightmare.
My buddies dad was framed by his now ex-wife for credit card fraud. She didn’t tell him the court date, and thus he spent the next 5 years in prison. He was also on jerry springer if that tells you how crazy that wife was. His dad may be stupid, but he doesn’t deserve the charge.

I was thinking this the other day! Watching a business blaze video followed by any other channel (except casual criminalist and decoding the unknow) make you wonder how it's the same person
Simons personality has slowly crept into most of his channels since business blaze started. However, since the change to drain blaze his other channels have crept in and wound it back so they influence it, also, after the mountain bike thing he prefers to be at a desk.
Haha for sure I was just about to comment about something along those lines. Been watching for at least 10 years and this has to be my favorite of all of his channels. Top10'sNet was the OG channel
My ex was a corrections officer in a prison. The 'healthcare team' are the absolute worst. Its the bottom of the barrel for healthcare workers. They were all heavy gamblers, in recovery, being sued, fired from many other positions, sleeping with inmates and worse. I wouldn't say they were more fortunate.
I expect Danny has been kicked out of most pubs he goes to: purely for dragging the conversation to a point somebody gets outraged, and then Danny just makes 'one joke too far' pushing them even further into a rage and causing a bar fight.
Simon, one thing that really sucks about the American judicial system is that what ever you may be charged with no matter if you are found not guilty or if the charge is dismissed without ever going to court, that charge remains a part of your criminal history and therefore can be viewed by anyone as it is considered to be public record. Sadly this includes criminal charges brought against you due to mistaken identity, and to my knowledge there is nothing you can do about it...
There was an episode of a show called Homicide Hunter where a man with a record murdered a woman and her two children. He was acquitted because the jury believed the defense's case that he couldn't have been the killer because "he was a changed man" despite the evidence. He eventually met his end when someone threw him off the roof of a building.
I’m really happy I came across all your channels especially this one. It is absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the laughs Simon! I love it when you get into your adlibbing. It’s a laugh fest.
I looked into it, and the only state in the US that has a statue of limitations on murder is Connecticut. 40 years for murder, 45 for mass murder, 50 years for murder involving a child, rape, or cannibalism, and 55 years for terrorist acts that killed someone.
@1:42 is an example of the kind of epic editing that is part of the collective recipe that makes Simon one of the greatest tubers of all time. Bravo, lol.
There is no statute of limitations on murder in the US, there is one on manslaughter in some states, but not actual murder charges. Which led to the great line from the second Saints Row game: Judge: "Gat, you've been convicted of over three hundred murders, do you really expect this appeal to work?" Gat: "I figure with the statute of limitations it really should be closer to two fifty." Judge: "There's no statute of limitations for murder!" Gat: "Why the fuck not?"
Hey Simon great vid man, here's a tip for next time your filling up. Most cars have a handy place to put the fuel cap. Inside that outer door that pops open to reveal the fuel cap, there are brackets that hold the cap. Thus freeing up one of your hands.
One good thing is that in Switzerland it is illegal to publish the full name of a suspect. Even that quadruple murderer of Rupperswil only was called N. and his photo was always censored. Until his first name was leaked and then later in his second trial his full name was leaked by his lawyer.
So, yes and no. There is no statue of limitations for first degree murder. However, 2nd degree actually does. A former FBI agent who killed a mobster in the 80s got away with it in like, 07 in Florida for that reason
@@YaBoyHam so basically if you murder with premeditation & intent then you should *never* tell anyone if you get away w/ it, but if you commit 2nd degree, you can tell it like an icebreaker if you want to? that's dark to think about, bc it's not like a 2nd degree "murder" is called something other than murder
The city and areas around the city I live in has had a increase of ppl stealing fuel from cars. What they do know is go under the car to your fuel tank and drill a hole and have the fuel drain out that way. So the car owner doesn’t just wake up to a empty tank of fuel but also a very expensive bill to repair the tank.
I usually think I have a pretty strong stomach, but the part where Simon was talking about the guys trying to suck the gas out of the bus' sewage tank actually had me gagging. On one hand I'm glad it happened to the criminals however, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Unfortunately, where I live in Southern California, it seems there is just not enough police to deal with dickheads with super-dark window tints. And, without fail, nearly every vehicle I see with super-dark tints is driving like a dickhead. I'm fairly certain plenty of them are criminals too, what with all the idiotic street racing and gang activity around here.
Tints are usually secondary offenses in most states (not sure which ones are primary but a Google could probably provide it). This means the police need a primary reason (taillight out etc...) to pull someone over before they can tack on the secondary offense.
Understood - I just wish the police would pull over the ultra dark tint cars for the primary offenses of speeding, reckless driving, running red lights, etc, that they are usually doing here.
You are quite right, murder doesn’t have a statute of limitations at all. It’s not like we’re talking about making off with a purloined Snickers bar, after all…
the one about the stage tank back when I was in school (soooooo many moons ago) a classmate was regaining me with that same one when his family was out camping in their RV and one morning they saw a house coming out of the converted fuel tank and puke marks heading up the road 🤣
Y'know Simon, although I like the new format, I _really_ miss the old one. Danny's timeless half-video-long intros; the lack of transitions; walking around the set... and the ever enjoyable abuse of your paper scripts. 😅 I encourage you to try the old format again. See how people respond to it. I think you might be surprised. 🙂
I honestly believe that the change happened because it had to! Remember him saying about being a cyborg (?). After the mountain bike crash he has metal pins in his shoulder ! I believe he hurt himself quite badly, an if you go back through the last 5 or so brain blaze he actually says he can't do the standing stuff now. He changed the format out of necessity not want in my opinion.
@@toddlerj102 Ouch! 😳🥺 That's rough! Makes sense for him to knock walk around anymore. That being said, the _rest_ of the OGBB can still be done, I think. 😅
With a crowbar its pretty trivial to snap open a fuel door. Not many people have locking caps and even those are not difficult to overcome. I can 100% confirm that siphoning gas IS a common crime, especially as gas prices rise, even in major US and Canadian cities. It happens way more than you'd think. One person I know actually had their fuel tank drilled, thieves drilled a hole in the tank to drain it, presumably into an open jerry can.
The best cases of criminal karma that I heard about recently were somebody getting crushed to death by a car while trying to steal the catalytic converter, and somebody accidentally cutting off their own fingers while slashing a neighbour's tyres.
It brings me joy to see old Nazis being prosecuted. I was born in the 70s and many of the police guys were from the nazi police because we needed police. and now I hope our police will be okay.
When I lived in GA there was a magazine called The Jail Report, and most people I know who would buy it were looking to see if anyone they knew was in it. And yes, at least a few times a year.
Regarding siphoning fuel, ABSOLUTELY still a thing and a chronic problem where I live. They pry the fuel door open, which scratches up your paint job. After my husband had his fuel siphoned twice in just a few months, he got a locking gas cap. Sure, the fuel door gets busted and paint scratched, but they can't get that outrageously expensive gas. They usually target carparks. Although these have cameras, no one really actually monitors them. Around here, parking in downtown is super expensive, so it's cheaper (and quicker given traffic and the time to find a parking space three blocks away from your intended location) to park free in a carpark and take the train into the city. However, parking garages are also a target for fuel siphoners. My best friend is a nurse and had her car's gas siphoned while it was parked in the hospital employee lot. Imagine the sort of scum who steals gas from a lady who just spent a 16 hour shift doing chest compressions, puked on by 5 different patients, helped put pressure on a gunshot wound and ended up head-to-toe in blood, and had to hold the hand of an elderly dying patient, she just wants to get home to her kids and wash away the sweat, blood, and pee smell that lingers despite hospital showers, only to find her car out of gas.
9:00 Know an guy who fell off an tractor, it turned around and ran over him. Now it was an very old and small tractor more like an beefed up ATV but the tire marking of his jacket was impressive.
As to the license plates, the craziest thing was happening for a long time here. People were fed-up with getting caught by speed cameras, and someone figured out that the fine for having no plate was far cheaper, and didn't cost points on your license either (neither do speed cameras, but most in-person fines do cost points on your license). So every 3rd or 4th car you'd see on the street would have no license plates. When pulled over, they would just claim it must have been stolen and they didn't notice, and pay the small fine. Took several years for the police to convince the provincial government to up the fine for not having a license plate displayed...
Full filler flaps are super easy to break, even if locked, especially now that they are usually plastic. They also put anti-syphon baffles in the fuel filler neck but you can force a hose past them.
Tbf I also own a vehicle and can't drive. I was advised to buy it before I got my license because then I wouldn't have to worry about car payments and gas. I think. Plus, when you get the chance to buy your dream car for $400 you don't pass it up. However, I am also now disabled and unable to drive lmao
well yeah, his reasoning is basically like saying burglary is no longer a thing because we've all got locks on our doors now ( or is there something else blocking access to the fuel tank?)
My parents were on a bus trip last weekend. They bareky made it home because someone siphoned fuel from the bus the last night on the trip, emptying one of the tanks. My parents think they might bve jinxed as they were on another bus trip on the continent a couple of weeks prior. That bus driver misread the GPS and they ended up on some extremely narrow mountain road where it was so tight that they hit a cliff and busted several windows. It was a little less dramatic on another bus trip they did this Spring (they've gone on lots of trips after the pandemic) to the Netherlands. The guide had misread the map and they were stuck in some mudfield for five hours and missed that days event. Luckily they are retired and thought the mudfield was quite exciting.
I don’t use vanity plates ever because I do not want anyone to be able to remember my clever license plate number, making it easier to report me for wrongdoing. I really don’t break the law. This is just a good reason to not have vanity plates.
Both of those sites did that to my childhood best friend. She had passed away and I was searching for her obituary, but these came up, along with an extortion demand to remove them.
Prison libraries don't usually have those kinds of law books. The wardens have complete control over what they have access too. And anything that might "threaten the security of the prison" gets removed. They use this to block basically everything.
The crazy thing about custom number plates in UK is that the government will sell you custom number plates that meet the format of any car older than yours, and they will sell you custom number plates which don't meet any historical format which are called "cherished" plates, and then the police will stop you for having an "illegal" cherished plate that the government sold you.
The reason for those pesky statutes of limitations is that we can't be sure we only convict people who aren't innocent with evidence that is collected within months, let alone decades later. The limitation is used to check the power of law enforcement from harassing and persecuting innocent people forever just because they "think" they might be guilty. "[I]t is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."
That's guy is why we get pulled over all the time for window tint here!!! We bought a used car and got pulled over for our window tint within 2 miles after leaving!!! The cops kinda use us for extra funding.
Watch the John Oliver episode about how prisoners in the US don't even get the basic health care you can get in an hospital emergency room whether you can pay or not.
I remember that one and Australia press had a field day. We are savage when people do dumb shit, but we also give people with a disability a bit of a pass through.

@@jlondon1441or her calling him "Fact Boi" lol
Unfortunately, where I live in Southern California, it seems there is just not enough police to deal with dickheads with super-dark window tints.
And, without fail, nearly every vehicle I see with super-dark tints is driving like a dickhead. I'm fairly certain plenty of them are criminals too, what with all the idiotic street racing and gang activity around here.
Tints are usually secondary offenses in most states (not sure which ones are primary but a Google could probably provide it). This means the police need a primary reason (taillight out etc...) to pull someone over before they can tack on the secondary offense.
Understood - I just wish the police would pull over the ultra dark tint cars for the primary offenses of speeding, reckless driving, running red lights, etc, that they are usually doing here.
You are quite right, murder doesn’t have a statute of limitations at all. It’s not like we’re talking about making off with a purloined Snickers bar, after all…
the one about the stage tank back when I was in school (soooooo many moons ago) a classmate was regaining me with that same one when his family was out camping in their RV and one morning they saw a house coming out of the converted fuel tank and puke marks heading up the road 🤣
Prisoners get health care, but 48 out of 50 states charge a per day penalty. Most states charge 12-25$ a day but one charges 249$ a day.
"Health care" in the loosest possible sense.
Now when you say banged up in prison.......??? We all know where I'm going with this. 😂😂😂
Y'know Simon, although I like the new format, I _really_ miss the old one. Danny's timeless half-video-long intros; the lack of transitions; walking around the set... and the ever enjoyable abuse of your paper scripts. 😅
I encourage you to try the old format again. See how people respond to it. I think you might be surprised. 🙂
I agree. Bring back the OGBB format.
I honestly believe that the change happened because it had to! Remember him saying about being a cyborg (?). After the mountain bike crash he has metal pins in his shoulder ! I believe he hurt himself quite badly, an if you go back through the last 5 or so brain blaze he actually says he can't do the standing stuff now.
He changed the format out of necessity not want in my opinion.
@@toddlerj102 Ouch! 😳🥺 That's rough! Makes sense for him to knock walk around anymore.
That being said, the _rest_ of the OGBB can still be done, I think. 😅
With a crowbar its pretty trivial to snap open a fuel door. Not many people have locking caps and even those are not difficult to overcome. I can 100% confirm that siphoning gas IS a common crime, especially as gas prices rise, even in major US and Canadian cities. It happens way more than you'd think.
One person I know actually had their fuel tank drilled, thieves drilled a hole in the tank to drain it, presumably into an open jerry can.
Yup. Steve Lehto did a video on that today. Guy had to replace the gas tank on a Ford Raptor. 4 grand
That magazine one deserved at least a 6 figure payout, the damage that could do to a life is insane
As a western Australian, I'm so happy that you pronounced Laverton correctly!
That mug is epic. I'm jealous in the best possible way.
Edit: The coffee mug Simon is using. I wrote that before the mug shot bit at the end.
Brain Blaze brings me so much joy as I poop. It's a regular occurrence.
The 1st murderer just followed your Casual Criminalist rules! He burned everything!
There is no statute of limitations for murder anywhere in the US.
Well, an above comment says CT has one
@@AR_86 that comment is actually wrong. All class A felonies and murder have no limitations in CT.
@@AR_86 Five seconds on Google disproves that.
The best cases of criminal karma that I heard about recently were somebody getting crushed to death by a car while trying to steal the catalytic converter, and somebody accidentally cutting off their own fingers while slashing a neighbour's tyres.
It brings me joy to see old Nazis being prosecuted. I was born in the 70s and many of the police guys were from the nazi police because we needed police. and now I hope our police will be okay.
When I lived in GA there was a magazine called The Jail Report, and most people I know who would buy it were looking to see if anyone they knew was in it. And yes, at least a few times a year.
The guy who tried to steal gas from that bus was probably in a crappy mood the rest of that day.
Regarding siphoning fuel, ABSOLUTELY still a thing and a chronic problem where I live. They pry the fuel door open, which scratches up your paint job. After my husband had his fuel siphoned twice in just a few months, he got a locking gas cap. Sure, the fuel door gets busted and paint scratched, but they can't get that outrageously expensive gas.
They usually target carparks. Although these have cameras, no one really actually monitors them. Around here, parking in downtown is super expensive, so it's cheaper (and quicker given traffic and the time to find a parking space three blocks away from your intended location) to park free in a carpark and take the train into the city. However, parking garages are also a target for fuel siphoners. My best friend is a nurse and had her car's gas siphoned while it was parked in the hospital employee lot. Imagine the sort of scum who steals gas from a lady who just spent a 16 hour shift doing chest compressions, puked on by 5 different patients, helped put pressure on a gunshot wound and ended up head-to-toe in blood, and had to hold the hand of an elderly dying patient, she just wants to get home to her kids and wash away the sweat, blood, and pee smell that lingers despite hospital showers, only to find her car out of gas.
12:30 My 89 Trans-am GTA, doesn't have a switched fuel door. I bought a locking fuel cap. More to prevent "unwanted" stuff in my tank.
"Your fine James, we gave you the zaps". LOL😂
All I can think of is that scene from RV with Robin Williams, where they quite unsuccessfully try to empty the sewage.
That last one with the sewage tank had me laughing so hard I found it hard to breath 😂
I absolutely love Simon being a atheist. Just go on, it’s reality, everyone knows it, don’t be shy
9:00 Know an guy who fell off an tractor, it turned around and ran over him. Now it was an very old and small tractor more like an beefed up ATV but the tire marking of his jacket was impressive.
I've been waiting for the gawker story for a while. I loved it from the beginning
As to the license plates, the craziest thing was happening for a long time here. People were fed-up with getting caught by speed cameras, and someone figured out that the fine for having no plate was far cheaper, and didn't cost points on your license either (neither do speed cameras, but most in-person fines do cost points on your license). So every 3rd or 4th car you'd see on the street would have no license plates. When pulled over, they would just claim it must have been stolen and they didn't notice, and pay the small fine.
Took several years for the police to convince the provincial government to up the fine for not having a license plate displayed...
New drinking game: take a shot every time Simon moves or adjusts the microphone lol. Great video btw.
18:15
YES!!! HE SAID THE THING!
OGBBs know what's the real name of this channel, the one in your heart, no matter how much you deny it
Full filler flaps are super easy to break, even if locked, especially now that they are usually plastic. They also put anti-syphon baffles in the fuel filler neck but you can force a hose past them.
I knew something was fishy about this episode. Why on Earth does Danny own a vehicle when he can't drive?
Tbf I also own a vehicle and can't drive. I was advised to buy it before I got my license because then I wouldn't have to worry about car payments and gas. I think. Plus, when you get the chance to buy your dream car for $400 you don't pass it up. However, I am also now disabled and unable to drive lmao
Simon siphoning fuel from new cars is still possible, remember where there's a crackhead there's a way.
well yeah, his reasoning is basically like saying burglary is no longer a thing because we've all got locks on our doors now ( or is there something else blocking access to the fuel tank?)
My parents were on a bus trip last weekend. They bareky made it home because someone siphoned fuel from the bus the last night on the trip, emptying one of the tanks.
My parents think they might bve jinxed as they were on another bus trip on the continent a couple of weeks prior. That bus driver misread the GPS and they ended up on some extremely narrow mountain road where it was so tight that they hit a cliff and busted several windows.
It was a little less dramatic on another bus trip they did this Spring (they've gone on lots of trips after the pandemic) to the Netherlands. The guide had misread the map and they were stuck in some mudfield for five hours and missed that days event. Luckily they are retired and thought the mudfield was quite exciting.
Thank you for including trailer park boys in this
14:11, That's f'n hilarious!
OH MY GOD! Simon, can we have the mug shot game!? That would be a great episode of Cas Crim!
Sam on his game, as always 😂
I don’t use vanity plates ever because I do not want anyone to be able to remember my clever license plate number, making it easier to report me for wrongdoing.
I really don’t break the law. This is just a good reason to not have vanity plates.
"Fuuuhck Simon, what the *bleep*. Get your *bleep* together." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh jeez Simon, I was munching on my breakfast cereal and now…everything is poop…oh lol that’s hilarious🤣🤣🤣
"Flight, fight or freeze" does not involve thinking of consequences.
I've watched lots of simons stuff in the past, really enjoying this looser style
Both of those sites did that to my childhood best friend. She had passed away and I was searching for her obituary, but these came up, along with an extortion demand to remove them.
Prison libraries don't usually have those kinds of law books. The wardens have complete control over what they have access too. And anything that might "threaten the security of the prison" gets removed. They use this to block basically everything.
Only persons videos I’ve gone to like to see I already have, multiple times 😂
I love that they didn't forget about Isaac's illegal window tint along with everything else.
Simon forgot a crowbar exists for opening a fuel tank cap.
You can tint the front screen and front widows but only by a very small amount, the front screen must pass 75% of light and the front sides 70%
Vanity plates make it really easy to remember the details when they do dodgy shite.
Every now and then a Business Blaze slips through.
Wow that car gas cap bit is a eye opener. Canadians don't lock anything, almost, Outside of the city's.
The crazy thing about custom number plates in UK is that the government will sell you custom number plates that meet the format of any car older than yours, and they will sell you custom number plates which don't meet any historical format which are called "cherished" plates, and then the police will stop you for having an "illegal" cherished plate that the government sold you.
The dude who drove drunk and hit himself is just....😂 I can't even.
The reason for those pesky statutes of limitations is that we can't be sure we only convict people who aren't innocent with evidence that is collected within months, let alone decades later. The limitation is used to check the power of law enforcement from harassing and persecuting innocent people forever just because they "think" they might be guilty. "[I]t is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."
If cops 'think' someone is guilty and persecute them, that is itself a crime. Innocent until proven guilty.
@@nerfherder4284 If only that was actually how it worked 😅
That's guy is why we get pulled over all the time for window tint here!!! We bought a used car and got pulled over for our window tint within 2 miles after leaving!!! The cops kinda use us for extra funding.
Watch the John Oliver episode about how prisoners in the US don't even get the basic health care you can get in an hospital emergency room whether you can pay or not.
Even if a person can open the fuel door, the filler pipe has baffles in it which prevent a hose from being fed into the tank.
I love the Enron mug. I have to know where you got it!
I remember that one and Australia press had a field day. We are savage when people do dumb shit, but we also give people with a disability a bit of a pass through.
