FRAUDITOR ARRESTED FOR RECORDING MEN IN BATHROOM

61-year-old Andrew Sheets is named in the newly released arrest report, accused of video voyeurism inside the Cambier Park restroom. >> What's up, everybody? I hope you guys are doing fantastic. Today, I was about to react to a Toasty's video that is covering the frauditors and how one of them got arrested and is facing the lawsuit. Turns out that he had a lot of information that I wasn't aware of, but I noticed that there was a notification from Gary Snow. Gary Snow, for those who don't know, is a legendary anti-frauditor. He actually confronts the douche bags in person, and he posted a video about a frauditor who got arrested for recording others in a bathroom, and I am not surprised whatsoever. It was just a matter of time before these creeps think that you have no expectation of privacy when you're on the [ __ ] Without further ado, let's take a look at this. >> Tonight, serious questions after a recording inside a Naples restroom. Now, a Punta Gorda man is accused of voyeurism in an incident that involved undercover officers. The recording taken during last month's Pride Fest. WINK News reporter Haley Zarcouni joins us from Cambier Park, where that video was recorded and just how it led to the charges. Emma, in the arrest report, it says that two undercover Naples Police Department officers were inside of this bathroom expecting privacy, only to find out that they were being recorded. Naples Pride Fest came with large crowds, heightened security, and now one man charged in for what's alleged to have been uploaded to YouTube. 61-year-old Andrew Sheets is named in the newly released arrest report, accused of video voyeurism inside the Cambier Park restroom. >> Now, for those who don't know this guy, Andrew Sheets, he's a pretty infamous frauditor. He's been frauditing for a long time and he actually has case law in his name that is Sheets versus the city of Punta Gorda. And to me, it's just not surprising that a frauditor would do something like this because they're all massive creeps and they're always pushing the limits of what they can do. And in their mind, I don't see it being that much of a jump that they're like, oh, well, if I can see it with my eyes, I can record it. Doesn't matter if you're in a bathroom, in your house, or in public. So, I could see that jump because they're such degenerates and it looks like this guy made the jump. Now, he's actually justifying recording men in bathrooms. >> Florida law prohibits recording someone in a restroom without consent. The allegations that caught some park-goers, including Kye McGuffin, by surprise. >> I mean, honestly, it's a little hard to believe at first that somebody would actually do that. >> In the Naples police report, Sheets said to have been filming himself and others using the bathroom during the April 18th event. The report states Sheets brought a body camera to document Naples Pride Fest. He posted a 40-minute video from that day to YouTube. The police say is video voyeurism. The suspect can be seen wearing the body camera while going into the restroom. The recording continues inside before he leaves. >> I mean, I'd feel targeted or really confused as to why I was suddenly on the internet in the bathroom at some public event. And especially the heat around it being a pride event. >> Cambier Park is known for hosting group events. Daria Baduko and Brooke Taylor are both here for a tennis tournament this week. >> And it's usually a fairly safe place. I've never had any bad interactions with any people. >> The girls tell me they've never felt unsafe here. Hearing others were recorded at such a vulnerable time. >> People are cleaning up in there. They're doing personal things. You don't want to get recorded in the bathroom. >> I mean, it's just shocking, especially like since this place is super like safe in my opinion. >> We did reach out to Naples Pride as well as the Naples Police Department for comment today. We did not hear back. As for those two officers who were inside this restroom today among others, it does say in the arrest report that they felt both shocked and embarrassed by the video that was posted online. Live in Cambier Park, Haley Zarcouni, Wink News. >> Haley, thanks. Tonight, a simple stop at the pump turned into a major head >> So, this is a pretty serious crime that he just committed, allegedly. Now, he is facing up to 5 years in prison, 5 years of probation, and a $5,000 fine. And from my understanding, this frauditor has been arrested before, so he has a prior criminal history. Not looking good for this massive weirdo. As usual, I'm going to keep you guys updated, but now I want to react to the video that Atozy dropped a few days ago regarding frauditors. Now, for those who aren't familiar with Atozy, he's a massive YouTuber with over 2 million subscribers, and he does not cover frauditors. He covers TikTok pranksters, internet news, and he is not in the anti-frauditor space whatsoever. The only other video he has ever made on frauditors was about Colton Wood, and he'll reference it in this video. And I find it really interesting to hear a neutral third-party's opinion on frauditors because as you're about to see, it's very close to our opinion. Now, Atozy's a really chill dude. He has given me shout-outs in the past for my channel 15 Minutes of Shame. About a year ago, I was clipping Johnny Somali and other TikTok pranksters, and sometimes he was using my videos, gave me a shout-out, so that was pretty damn awesome. I talked to him a couple times, really chill guy, very down-to-earth. So, if you want to subscribe to his channel, I'll leave the link in the description, but for now, let's take a look at his video. >> This YouTuber is now facing multiple federal charges, a potential 7-year prison sentence, a civil lawsuit of $3 million, all after pepper spraying an innocent bystander who ended up in the ER with nearly 80% vision loss. What is going on here? I feel like it's every day at this point where I look on the internet, I'm going, "Oh, wow, look at that. Another day, another influencer doing something so incredibly stupid. I want to pull my hair out." But speaking about stupidity, I guess the defense of this influencer is that it was self-defense. Excuse me, what? Pepper spraying a random shopper for just doing his shopping and putting stuff in the grocery cart is self-defense now? So, meet Richard Maza, a 51-year-old YouTuber from Northridge in Southern California. And he's built a channel called Freedom of the Press. And the whole idea, I guess, is just built around what's known as First Amendment Auditors. And to put it lightly, that whole genre is an interesting group of people. Some people, I guess, do it correctly, but there's a whole bunch of them that are just annoying scumbags. But essentially, the basis of it is people go out and test their rights and make sure they still have their rights, hence why it's auditing. And I mean, as a concept, it does have a real legal basis because for the most part, filming in public in the US is protected. And you have a whole tradition of people using that right to document government employees, law enforcements, public officials, essentially holding institutions accountable for what they're doing. For example, if a cop is violating someone's rights, it's very important to have that on camera. >> And for this, I 100% agree with Atozy because first amendment auditing on paper could be very useful. If done properly, it could actually help the average citizen. But the problem is the type of people that gravitates towards that type of activity and how it is done in practice. In practice, it does nothing for anyone. It makes a lot of money for the grifters and it takes a lot of money from the lens lickers and it accomplishes nothing. It doesn't create good case law for our rights and it doesn't do anything productive. It's just a means to harass people and it's just done by complete career criminal scumbags. 99% of frauditors are convicted criminals if not dangerous convicted felons. So yeah, on paper it sure could be good but it's definitely not the case. >> But what Mazda does however is a little bit different to put it lightly. So instead of you know going and trying to audit I don't know government workers or so on, he and his group they post up in like a parking lot or something like that and basically just film regular people who are going about their day who have done nothing and who are not public figures and probably just don't want to be filmed. It seems like his goal is to just you know slightly harass and then film the moment when they finally react to him and that's content for him I guess. >> What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? >> What what's going on here? >> I don't know. What's going on here? >> I'm waiting for a table at this restaurant. >> Awesome. >> I know you're busy. >> We're walking. >> Oh my goodness. Why are you wasting resources? >> So somebody tells you it's none of your business you call the cops? >> None of your business? All right, I'm calling the cops. They'll get an answer out of you. >> You are not going to break this camera. >> you want to make a bet? >> I guarantee you're not going to break it. You want to make a bet? >> I would love for you to try. >> You will be photographed. >> Why don't you go mind your own business? Go pick up your milk and cookies. >> You want to get in my face? >> Yeah, get it. My >> And if you do remember we actually have talked about one of these like government auditors before who this guy just ended up prank calling the government over and over and over again and finally had a bunch of people show up to his house. >> Just so you know I'm willing to drive down there, come in there and beat y'all Y'all y'all you understand that? Do you understand that that you aren't safe? If I need to be out there children in your name, I need to be children alive to force an investigation. >> So, about Colton, I'm still flabbergasted that YouTube hasn't taken down his channel because he has threatened multiple times to unalive children under the police's name multiple times. He has threatened mass shootouts, multiple terrorist attacks, and I have reported quite a few of his videos. Somehow, he's still on the platform. Don't ask me why. Unfortunately, the YouTube system is incredibly flawed. It sure could use some improvement. And I know it's a big company. There's millions and millions of videos to review, but it's nuts that something like this stays on the internet. Anyways, that's just a little thing I want to say about Colton cuz I'm still shocked his channel is alive. >> That was ages ago. But, however, the group that was with Maza that day everything happened was a Canadian YouTuber who posts as the guy True North Transparency, along with a father-son duo Conrad and Nick Rankin, who run the channel Impact Media. Apparently, the four of them have been traveling through the Bay Area together in the days before this incident. So, on March 28th, 2026, Mountain View police started getting calls about a group causing problems outside of a Costco in North Ringwood Avenue. At least four separate complaints happened before the more serious ones happened. So, that shows that a lot of people were concerned about what they were doing. And I guess even though the officers were aware of the situation, they hadn't moved in to shut anything down. And apparently, there's a legal reason for that because California courts have previously set a protected speech activity that can take place in a shopping center, even when those spaces are technically private property. So, in a way, the police department's dealing with some regulatory gray area. But, I guess the more serious interaction started when the guy was walking to his car. This man is Paul Rubino. He's a maintenance worker, and he was loading his bags into his trunk and noticed the group had cameras on him. He asked them what they were filming for, and the group's response, according to the police report, was to start mocking him. And the dude, who was clearly frustrated, I guess flinched towards them at some point, and the whole group painted that as an attack. So, the dude then got in his car, probably done with the whole situation, just wanting to leave, and Maaza followed him, shoved a camera through an open window into the guy's face, and used his pepper spray right in the victim's eyes. >> So, I was completely unaware about this situation. When I went in to watch this video from Maatouzi, I figured he was going to strictly talk about the lawsuit, and I was already aware of that. I mean, a video on it, but I was completely shocked that this clown actually got arrested for pepper spraying someone that retreated to their car. I mean, make it make sense, dude. How the [ __ ] is it self-defense if you're chasing the person to their car? And that's the problem with California. They let this [ __ ] go on and go on and go on, and they only step in when it goes way too far. For example, with Riverside County Accountability, they always wait until there's a victim that gets seriously hurt before actually doing something about the frauditors, when they can put an end to it way before that. I mean, these guys are pepper spraying sometimes two to three victims per day. I mean, come on, do something about it. >> And the fact that Maaza is using self-defense as an excuse here does not make sense whatsoever, because if you were threatened by this guy, why are you following him into his car? What? This is also happening in California. Well, I'm pretty sure you have to retreat before you can actually do anything. So, uh I wonder how this is going to go for him. And Paul initially told officers that he was fine and didn't really need medical attention. However, the next day, he noticed he was losing his vision. And he later described his vision as looking through frosted glass. Like, someone, I guess, had pressed crumpled plastic wrap over his eyes. And a doctor later confirmed an eye injury. And his attorneys later said that the man experienced 80% vision loss for the first 10 days, and then about 40% vision loss at the time they drafted the lawsuit. And to make things even worse, there's a possibility here that this damage could be permanent. But what makes this even more weird is when Maza was brought into custody, he didn't have one canister of pepper spray on him. No, he had three. So, clearly he needs to keep a lot of pepper spray on him because he was planning on using it a lot. Who carries around three canisters of pepper spray on them for self-defense? I mean, everything is just so bizarre here. But his car wasn't impounded. Investigators actually submitted a request for a search warrant to look for anything that might suggest the confrontation was planned in advance. So, now the write-up from the officer handling the case is worth paying attention to because it's doing something slightly unusual. It's not just like documenting what happened that afternoon, but also making an argument about the pattern of behavior that led to this. Because the officer actually reviewed a large portion of Maza's YouTube content. And here, he found a pretty consistent trend of this guy just pushing boundaries over and over and over again until he has to defend himself. Because it seems like on his channel, when he escalates things to a pepper spray incident where he has to defend himself, >> As usual, one thing that I like to do when I cover unbiased third parties that talk about Frauditor's is to look at the comments because it can give us a clear picture of what the average person thinks of the Frauditor's. And the top comment says he's doing this [ __ ] at 51, 80% vision loss, that's horrible. TikTok is basically a gateway to prison. Dude, I remember this guy, he was infamous in Pasadena now for his harassment. I'm glad they're recoiling his ball. Fine. 51 years old and out harassing people and doing pranks. That's embarrassing. And then the last comment says, "The irony. The guy is trying to prove the government is harassing people by harassing people." They're basically saying everything we've been saying for years. And this just proves that the average person, when they see Frauditor behavior, they will see that it is complete nonsense and it's criminal activity. The only people that support that kind of [ __ ] are other criminal frauditers or mouth drooling lens lickers. >> The videos do pretty well. So, who knows? There could be a motive here on why he wanted to pepper spray the guy. What do we know though? But not only that, the officer also noted the way he conducted himself and talked about those incidents. He didn't really talk about those incidents as they were a self-defense incidents. >> Keep your camera off me. Your camera Your camera off is I don't care what you Keep your camera off me. You just messed up my camera. >> Hey man, the pepper spray don't even work. That's the bad part about it. >> It doesn't? >> No. >> Well, that's a shame. I spent a lot of money on it. >> Cuz at least according to the officer, people who normally have to defend themselves with actual self-defense, they don't turn around and taunt the people they're about to have to defend themselves from. But here, apparently in every case, Mazza did. So, the core conclusion of this report is the guy and his group were not simply filming public spaces. They're also following a playbook of positioning themselves in high traffic locations, essentially trying to bait some sort of interaction. So, they're claiming the Costco incident wasn't really a thing that just happened to Richard Mazza here. They're claiming he set all of this up. And because of that, he's currently charged with two felonies, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and felony use of tear gas. And combined, if he's convicted for both counts, those charges may carry a max sentence of 7 years in California state prison. Currently, he was arraigned on April 2nd, 2026, and he was released without having to post a bail. But as a condition of his release, he's required to stay at least 50 yards away from the Costco where the incident happened. So now, the next hearing is set for May 19th in Santa Clara County. But that's not it, because things get worse for the guy, because separate from the criminal case, Rubina's attorney, Andrew Waters, has also filed a civil suit against all four members of the group, seeking $3 million in damages. And that number breaks down at least to $1 million for the injury itself, which, you know, costs a whole lot of pain and suffering and the potential, you know, permanent visual damages from this. Like, this shouldn't have happened. If they weren't trying to bait an interaction from people, this would have never happened. Then they tripled it under the RICO Act, which is the same act used to go after organized crime. So, beyond the money, the lawsuit is also asking for the court to force the group to shut down their YouTube channels and any other social media and refer to the case to the FBI for criminal charges. >> To me, that makes total sense. I mean, these guys found a way to pepper spray people for money. This is monetized violence. It's crazy that the cops in California are just letting this happen and not really stepping in until, like I said, it's too late. Like in this case where there's permanent vision loss. And it's crazy that YouTube is monetizing this garbage. I mean, if you watch one or two videos, you'd be like, "Okay, maybe yeah, they got attacked and now they had to defend themselves." But if you watch a catalog of it, you realize that it's the same thing every single time. They're baiting these people and they found a surefire way to inflict violence on people and to get paid for it. This should not be a thing, but yet it is. And that's the thing with the world. And I tell that to my daughter, sometimes life's not fair. Bad people get away with bad [ __ ] That's just how it is. >> But here's where it gets worse because the very next day, on March 29th, while Moosa was still in custody, Trojan Conrad and Nick Rankin were spotted in downtown Menlo Park where Trojan, the Canadian member of Moosa's group, was allegedly filmed pepper spraying another man in front of an Ace Hardware store. So, this group is just going around baiting interactions and pepper spraying people. They are quite literally burdens to society. They are bottom feeders. Imagine spending your day going around harassing strangers until they finally do something and you immediately pepper spray them. Come on. What's crazy about this is the lawyer was apparently out shopping that day, witnessed all this happen firsthand, and recorded his own video of the confrontation. So, Andrew Waters has since filed a personal lawsuit in addition to the other lawsuit, and he's appealing the denial of the initial request for a restraining order against the group while the case works its way through the courts. So, I mean, this is just insane. But, the argument they're making in both cases is essentially this. Like, what these guys are doing isn't a series of bad decisions. No, this is an organized operation. They're doing this over and over again for profit. And according to the complaints, the group travels around from city to city, does this kind of stuff over and over again, and monetizes it on YouTube. And then, of course, to make things worse, they move to a different city before local law enforcement can build a case. Now, the legal foundation of all this is interesting because filming in public in most cases is legal. That part isn't really in dispute. And Mauss's channel is at least normally built on that right. But, what ended up happening at Costco goes way beyond those rights to film because this is just harassment and attacking people, at least from what I see. But, hey, that's just my opinion. going to be really hard to defend this guy, but regardless, his criminal case is going to court May 19th. So, I guess we'll see what happens then. >> It's going to be really hard to defend this guy, but yet, I'm sure a bunch of lens lickers are going to go to his defense and say that he was just exercising his first amendment right to pepper spray people.
