NEVER BEFORE SEEN Body Cam Footage Of My Unlawful Arrest!
Summary
The transcript depicts Sean Paul Reyes and his arrest by Suffolk County Police Union President Lou Savillo, who charged him with trespassing after he was asked to leave a union building. Reyes argues he was continuously leaving the property, while Savillo claims he did not actually depart despite verbal declarations. After the arrest, Reyes's billboard truck was impounded, and he was held for seven hours before receiving a desk appearance ticket. Reyes frames this as retaliation for his activism, alleging misconduct by a union official who faces no repercussions due to political power.
Why it may matter: This incident exemplifies how First Amendment auditors' confrontations with police can escalate into arrests that may involve claims of retaliation, excessive force (tight handcuffs), and procedural problems. It highlights the role of police union presidents in enforcement decisions and the potential for political power to shield officers, which is central to studies of government transparency, civil liberties, and the balance between public safety and free expression.

You want it? >> Uh I think we already locked it. Yeah, I'm sure it's still on. Benji, you're still on body camera. Can't say anything incriminating. Still on body camera. >> Why do you have to tell me that? Why do you have to tell me your body your body your body camera's still on? Is that like second nature to you guys? You guys say, "Don't say anything wrong. My body >> camera's on. Isn't that the whole purpose of a Something up? >> Yeah. >> Do you need something at headquarters? Show us 32 and one male back to the third. Miles is going to be 75. >> I have to order cable. We have to at least have some sort of investigation to figure out what happened. >> I never stopped leaving the property. >> I told the people that I never stopped leaving to make my way to their vehicle. I'm not for this. No problem at all. You would have just asked him one simple question. Did he stop when he went to go leave? And he would have told you what he would have done or lied or told you no. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. This is why people are waking up here in this country and they're realizing what's going on here. You guys are a good old boy system. It's a shame because I know there's good law enforcement officers out there. I've met them. This is not good. This is what this is. This is water taking. This is a good one here. You tried to violate my rights. This is crazy. It's so unfortunate. We're making known from the body camera footage these officers did no sort of investigation on this case whatsoever. They showed up. They put me in handcuffs where they at least loosened my handcuffs I was already in and then taking me to the precinct. They did no investigation, no independent thought of their own. They just planned to strong arm and spy on me. This is what they're doing to me. It's whoever I don't know if that's their superior but they just do whatever it says. This is a retaliation issue for me writing to file a lawsuit against the Suffolk County Police Department. And the officers unlawfully detained me. What's your guys' names and badge numbers? >> I'm Police Officer 101. >> What was your sector? >> Sector 53 guys. >> 10-4 8795 to Precinct. >> Return 36 of the third mile to 79. >> In apartment 498. >> Yeah, you got 79. Oh, you're already on the phone. >> it. Thanks. >> Yeah. >> I'm just going to He's got his bag right here, too. >> All right, fellow patriots. So, after I arrived to the Suffolk County Police Department's Third Precinct, I was handcuffed to a table where I sat for approximately 7 hours, all to receive a desk appearance ticket, which if you're in law enforcement here in New York, you know it doesn't take 7 hours to generate a desk appearance ticket. This was more retaliation by the Suffolk County Police Department via the police union president, Lou Civello. Remember, if they can do this to me knowing that I have a platform that you all have given me to expose their lies to the world, that I have supporters who have donated to the link in the description to assist me with legal fees, and the $1,000 impound fee for my billboard truck, they will do this to anyone. What's a terrifying thought is how many times do they do this to individuals who don't have a platform, who don't have financial support, and are forced to take a plea deal to save their freedom. What we just watched isn't policing, it's tyranny. Lou Civello lied multiple times on body camera. He perjured himself in a sworn statement, and he will face zero consequences because he's the union president and is one of the most powerful figures in Suffolk County, New York. Now, you might ask yourself, why would a low IQ thug with a badge like Lou Civello be so powerful and influential? It's because of the millions of dollars in donations the police union make to politicians, from the district attorney, the county executive, and legislators. The system is corrupt, and it needs to be broken, or these thugs will continue to amass power and influence over we the people. I promise you I will not take any plea agreements from the prosecution. My attorney, Jacob Uriel and I will fight this to the end, all the way to trial. But, that's what they want. The process is the punishment. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Luis Vilela is going to be coming on the channel, so I can debunk his cop-aganda to his face, because since I peacefully protested with my billboard truck outside of his residence, he has gotten an order of protection ex parte in a secret meeting with the judge and the district attorney. I need you guys to hit the like button and share this video anywhere you can to expose this to the world. I appreciate all of your continued support. It means the world to me. There is so much more corruption and tyranny that is going to be exposed with this department, so stay tuned to the channel. Make sure you subscribe and have notifications turned on so you don't miss what I'm about to expose. It's going to rock the system to its core. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. I can't wait to read them. As always, stay safe. God bless. I'll see you in the next one. Sean Paul Reyes with Long Island on it. Peace.
