          I LIVE AT 2601 BEECH STREET. THIS IS MY PROPERTY,
MA'AM. 
          OKAY. MIGHT I ASK, WHY AM I HERE? BECAUSE I IF YOU GO AND CHECK. 
          THIS IS A STRATEGIC PICTURE. TAKING THAT FENCE THERE WASN'T THERE. 
          THAT HE'S SAYING IS THAT I HAD ALREADY CLEANED MY STUFF. 
          I HAD ALREADY TAKEN. AND THE TIKI BAR THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT,
THAT DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY A TORNADO. 
          AND WHENEVER THE TORNADO DID THAT DAMAGE, I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THAT TIKI BAR. 
          DURING THE MEANTIME, THEY CAME IN AND THEY HAVE NO PICTURES OF MY PROPERTY THE DAY THAT
THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY. 
          ALL THEY HAVE IS SELECTED PICTURES, AND THEY'RE SITTING THERE AND TELLING ME THAT THE
DATES THAT THEY HAVE, THEY SWITCH THE DATES ON YOU LIKE THE DATE THAT THEY SAID THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY ILLEGALLY ENTERED ON MY PROPERTY. 
          AND WHAT THEY HAVE UNDERNEATH THAT TARP, IT'S IN MY FRONT YARD IS WHERE I'M BUILDING THAT
THE FENCE RIGHT THERE TO FIX IT. 
          AND THEY TOOK DOWN MY ROCKS, MY TIKI BAR. THEY TOOK DOWN MY THEY TOOK UP MY DECK. 
          THEY TOOK BUILDING MATERIALS. THEY TOOK MY HAMMER. 
          THEY TOOK MY NAILS. THEY TOOK MY HAMMER THAT MY DADDY GAVE ME. 
          THEY TOOK GRINDERS. THEY TOOK ALL OF THAT STUFF IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          AFTER I'VE DONE EXPLAINED TIME AND AGAIN THAT I'VE UNCOVERED A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION KNOWN
AS THE GOOD OLE BOYS THAT USE THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE TO TO TAKE AND EXTORT MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE BY CHARGING THEM ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS. 
          CUTTING THEIR WAY ON THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELECT CODE ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS, WHICH THEY COME BACK TO TAKE THE PEOPLE'S PROPERTY AND THEN LOOT THE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES, COMING DIRECTLY AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. 
          THERE IS NO. THIS MAN CAME ON MY PROPERTY AFTER I TRIED TO GET A SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO KEEP
THEM OFF OF MY PROPERTY, BECAUSE THEY'RE DIRECTLY LINKED BACK TO WHENEVER THIS STARTED FOR ME BACK IN 2010 BP OIL
SPILL, WHICH GOT ME DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS THE GOOD OLE BOYS. 
          WAIT JUST A SECOND. YES, MA'AM. WE ARE GOING WELL BEYOND. 
          NO, MA'AM. WHEN IT COMES TO SIR. YES, MA'AM. I'M GOING TO FINISH. 
          WE'RE GOING WELL BEYOND WHAT I HAVE AUTHORITY TO DEAL WITH HERE TODAY. 
          WE'RE TALKING NOW ABOUT GULF WATERS AND OIL SPILLS AND STUFF FROM 2010. 
          WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ARE PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT, WITH SPECIFIED DATES STATED ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS. 
          [00:10:03]
YES, MA'AM. WELL, THE DATES THAT THEY GAVE YOU AND THE PICTURES THAT THEY GAVE YOU ARE
SHIFTED UP BECAUSE NEITHER ONE OF THOSE PICTURES THAT HE JUST CALLED THE DATE THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY IS THE CONDITION MY PROPERTY WAS IN. 
          I HAVE I HAVE PICTURES RIGHT HERE. SO YOUR TESTIMONY IS THAT THE PHOTOS DO NOT REFLECT THE
CORRECT DATES ON THE PICTURES. 
          EXACTLY. NOT ONLY THAT. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY THEY USE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO COME UP
AND CUT THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY. 
          THAT FENCE THAT HE SAYS WAS OPEN WAS SECURE,
AND THEY CUT THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY. 
          PRIOR TO THAT, THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY WHEN I HAD ALREADY TRIED TO FILE A FEDERAL I'VE
FILED A FEDERAL SUIT IN GOOD FAITH, BUT HAD ALREADY TRIED TO FILE AN INJUNCTION WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. BECAUSE THE
FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKING PICTURES INSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW AND I DID NOT REPRESENT THE OIL SPILL OR SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 
          SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU GOT TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE CASE. 
          I BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THE OIL SPILL. NO, MA'AM,
I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING ABOUT OIL SPILL. 
          WELL, RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOU GET THE RECORD AND READ IT BACK,
MA'AM, BUT I AM CERTAIN THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY TO YOU. 
          LET ME. YES, MA'AM. GO AHEAD. IT IS MY COURTROOM. 
          ONLY ONE OF US CAN TALK AT A TIME. OKAY. I WILL BE GLAD TO LISTEN TO WHAT IS RELEVANT WITH
REGARD TO THE CASE AND THE SITUATION WE HAVE GOING ON HERE THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT. YOU MENTIONED THE OIL SPILL,
WHICH IS WHEN I SAID TO YOU, SIR, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO THINGS. I HAVE NO CONTROL AND NO AUTHORITY OVER. 
          WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE TODAY IS AFTER THE FACT. 
          I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SAYING THE DATES DON'T REFLECT WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE CORRECT ON THE
PHOTOGRAPHS? WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION. 
          WORK HAS BEEN DONE AND COMPLETED ON THIS PROPERTY ACCORDING TO THE PHOTOS I'M LOOKING AT. 
          REGARDLESS OF THE DATES AND STUFF HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE,
THEN FIXED AND THEN INTO COMPLIANCE. HAVE YOU DONE ANY OF THAT WORK? HAVE YOU DONE ANY OF THAT STUFF? OR IS THIS WITH REGARD TO THE CONTRACTORS THAT CAME ON
THE PROPERTY AND DID THIS WORK FOR YOU? OKAY, MA'AM, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. THEY DESTROYED MY PROPERTY THE FIRST TIME WITH CODE
ENFORCEMENT. 
          I PUT THE STUFF FROM WHERE THEY CRUSHED MY DOG KENNEL ON THE SIDE. 
          OKAY, HANG ON A SECOND. THIS IS WITH CLAUDIA AND GAVIN,
WHICH LINKS BACK TO THE RACKETEERING. 
          OKAY. WHENEVER THEY CAME ON. OKAY, LET ME LET ME SPEAK,
PLEASE. 
          NO. CLARIFY THIS ANSWER FOR ME. OKAY. YOU SAID THE FIRST TIME CODE ENFORCEMENT I'M TALKING
ABOUT WITH THIS CASE. 
          FINISH ASKING THE QUESTION. OKAY. YOU TOLD ME THAT THEY DESTROYED PROPERTY OF YOURS THE
FIRST TIME THEY CAME ON THE PROPERTY. 
          GIVE ME AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHO THEY ARE. AND WHEN THEY CAME ON THE PROPERTY AND WHAT WAS
DESTROYED. 
          OKAY. WHENEVER. I'M NOT SURE OF THE OFFICER'S NAMES,
BUT WE'RE TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS CASE. 
          OKAY. NOW, LET'S GO AHEAD AND BREAK IT DOWN SO I CAN LET YOU. 
          THEY REFERRED. CAN YOU BRING THE PICTURES BACK UP FOR ME? CAN YOU BACK UP THE PICTURES? WHICH PICTURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? OKAY. RIGHT THERE. STOP RIGHT THERE FOR A SECOND. STOP RIGHT THERE FOR A SECOND. YOU SEE
THOSE POLES STICKING UP? YOU SEE THOSE POLES STICKING UP THAT SWEAT EQUITY THEY CUT OUT OF MY PROPERTY. OKAY. BACK UP. OKAY. YOU SEE RIGHT THERE,
THAT WAS MY WORKSTATION FROM WHERE I WAS WORKING ON AND STUFF. 
          THE STUFF THAT WAS UNDERNEATH. THERE WAS ALL TOOLS THAT I WAS USING TO WORK WITH. 
          HENCE THE TERM. THEY TOOK MY HAMMERS, THEY TOOK MY GRINDERS,
AND THEY TOOK MY SAWS. 
          THEY KNEW THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN CONJUNCTION OR OR WHOEVER. 
          THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WAS POINTING THEIR FINGER AND TOLD THEM TO GET IT. YOU KNOW, THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE TAKING SELECTIVE PICTURES AND TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO
GET. 
          THEY GOT THEY GOT ONE TOOL THE FIRST TIME THAT WAS WORTH OVER $10,000. 
          AND THEY'VE NOT ONLY DONE IT TO ME, THEY'VE DONE IT TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. OKAY,
GO AHEAD AND BACK UP. 
          ANOTHER PICTURE FOR ME. OKAY. NOW THIS IS THE SIDE OF MY FENCE RIGHT HERE. 
          NOW, YOU NOTICE HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE FENCE. YOU SEE THAT BIG FENCE BACK THERE? THAT BIG FENCE I JUST HAD PUT UP. THAT WAS WHAT THEM TOOLS WAS THAT YOU SEEN OVER BEHIND
MY TRUCK THAT WAS COVERED UP. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING. I WAS COMING DOWN THAT FENCE. AND AS FAR AS THOSE VINES GO,
THAT WAS ON MY FENCE. 
          THAT WAS MY DANDELIONS. THAT WAS DANDELIONS. BUT THAT WAS MY HONEYSUCKLES. 
          THAT WAS MY MY MUSKY MUSKET ARMS. AND AS FAR AS. 
          OKAY. BACK UP. OKAY. NOW RIGHT THERE. NOW, THAT PICTURE THAT HE SAYS RIGHT THERE. 
          MY TIKI BAR IS COMPLETELY GONE. I HAD SECURED THE TIKI BAR. 
          I HAD TAKEN OUT. I PUT EVERYTHING UP. I USED GOOD LAG BOLTS. 
          I HAVE A MAN WILLING TO TESTIFY THAT HE HELPED ME DO IT. 
          OKAY. AND THEN RIGHT THERE, AS FAR AS THE WAY GOES,
THAT WAY THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, YOU CAN TAKE A PICTURE FROM WHERE THEY TOOK DOWN MY MY LIGHTHOUSE. THAT LIGHTHOUSE IS EXACTLY IN FRONT OF THE TELEPHONE POLE. 
          [00:15:02]
THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO IT IF THEY IF THEY HIT THAT,
IF THEY ANYWHERE NEAR THAT LIGHTHOUSE, THEY'RE T-BONING THE TELEPHONE POLE. AND THEN IF YOU TURN DIRECTLY BACK AROUND,
GO AHEAD AND SWITCH TO ANOTHER PICTURE FOR ME. 
          OKAY. LET'S SEE. NOT THAT ONE. GO AHEAD. SWITCH AGAIN. 
          OKAY. THERE. NOW SEE, THIS IS WHEN THEY CAME ONTO MY PROPERTY. 
          WHENEVER THEY TOOK AND TOOK PICTURES WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WITHOUT MY CONSENT,
AND THEY CUT THEIR WAY. 
          THEY WERE ON MY PROPERTY. THEY USED THEM TO CUT THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY. 
          THAT STUFF THAT YOU SEE RIGHT THERE IS STILL MESSED UP FROM WHERE IT WAS MESSED UP IN THE
PAST. 
          I MEAN, I'M TRYING I'M TRYING TO GET THAT THIS GOOD PLYWOOD THEY TOOK. 
          OKAY. GO AHEAD AND BACK UP AGAIN. OKAY. RIGHT THERE. 
          THAT'S MY SAWHORSE. AND THIS IS SELECTIVE PICTURES. 
          THAT'S THAT'S WHERE IT ALREADY MOVED. ALL THE STUFF THAT THEY HAD TAKEN BEFORE. 
          I'VE GOT THE WOOD STACKED UP, AND I'M THAT'S THAT'S HALFWAY BETWEEN WHERE THEY'RE JUST
THROWING STUFF AROUND. 
          THAT'S. THAT'S NOT THE WAY THE CONDITION OF PROPERTY WAS IN. I HAD MY STUFF ALL STACKED
UP. 
          THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHERE THEY'VE ALREADY RANSACKED EVERYTHING INSIDE MY PROPERTY BECAUSE
I DON'T KEEP MY WOOD IN THAT CONDITION. 
          MY WOOD WAS SPACED SO THAT MOISTURE WOULDN'T GET ON IT,
YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND BACK UP. 
          OKAY. ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S THEM TAKING PICTURES OF MY BUSHES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          AND THE STUFF THAT YOU SEE OVER THERE, THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WHENEVER I. 
          OH YEAH. WELL YOU CAN YOU CAN SEE WHERE I'VE SECURED THE WALL. 
          IF YOU LOOK BACK OVER IN THE CORNER, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE TIKI BAR IS GETTING SECURED,
AND I'VE GOT THE REST OF THE TIKI BAR SITTING ON TOP OF THE WOOD, WHICH I ALREADY HAD CUT. THAT'S THE REST OF THE TIKI BAR THAT YOU SEE IN THE CORNER RIGHT
THERE. 
          THAT'S THE REST OF TIKI BAR. OKAY. GO AGAIN. SWITCH IN ANOTHER PICTURE. 
          OKAY. RIGHT THERE. NOW, WHAT DAY DID THEY SAY THAT IS? WHAT DAY DID THEY CLAIM THAT TO BE? YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE. 
          YEAH. WHAT DAY DID THEY CLAIM THAT TO BE? YOU. 
          WHAT DATE WOULD CODE ENFORCEMENT BELIEVE THAT WAS TAKEN? SEPTEMBER 19TH. OKAY, SO THAT'S THE LAST TIME THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY. 
          THIS IS THE MORNING OF OUR CLEANUP. OKAY. NOW,
NOW, NOW, WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE TAKEN THE STUFF THAT WAS UNDERNEATH THAT THING OVER THERE. THEY'VE TAKEN SOME OF IT, AND THEY'VE THROWN IT OVER THERE AND THEY'VE RANSACKED
EVERYTHING. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TIKI BAR, YOU SEE THAT BIG 4X4 THAT'S GOING UP THROUGH RIGHT THERE. 
          THAT 4X4 IS SECURED WITH LAGS. I'VE GOT A PIECE THAT COMES DOWN BETWEEN THERE AND THAT'S
THE REST OF MY BAR. 
          WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS WHERE THESE PEOPLE HAVE CREATED THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION,
AND THEY'RE ORCHESTRATING THEIR OWN PICTURES. GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT AGAIN. 
          OKAY, NOW THAT'S THAT RIGHT THERE. IF YOU LOOK THAT THAT THAT THE THE BLUE VASE YOU SEE
RIGHT THERE, THAT'S MY LIGHTHOUSE. AND THOSE ARE MY ROCKS RIGHT THERE. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN'T SEE THE TIKI BAR BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN IT DOWN. 
          IF YOU'D HAD THE TIKI BAR UP THERE, YOU'D HAVE SEEN IT WAS PERFECTLY NEAT. 
          AND I HAD A BARRACUDA UP ON TOP OF IT, ALONG WITH A STEERING WHEEL. 
          I'VE GOT PICTURES OF IT. IT LOOKED REALLY COOL AND THEY TOOK IT DOWN. 
          IT WAS SWEAT EQUITY. AND I'VE GOT THE I'VE GOT THE THE TESTIMONY OF THE MAN THAT HELPED ME
PUT IT UP. 
          AND THAT'S ONCE AGAIN, THEM SELECTIVELY TAKING PICTURES AND SUBMITTING IT TO THE QUASI
JUDICIAL. 
          BUT THE BIG THING ABOUT IT IS, IS, SEE, THERE'S NO THERE'S NO FREAKING TIKI BAR THERE. 
          BUT THE THING ABOUT IT IS THEY'RE JUST ORCHESTRATING. AND THAT'S THE WAY THEY'VE BEEN
DOING EVERYBODY. AND NOW I'M FACING THIS LARGE SUM. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO DO ME LIKE THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST,
WHICH IS CHARGE ME AN ABNORMAL, A LARGE AMOUNT, PUT IT ON THE TAXES AND THEN PROCEED TO TRY TO TAKE MY PROPERTY,
WHICH IS WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO OTHER PEOPLE. 
          BUT I'VE BEEN FIGHTING IT. AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER,
ADRIAN PINDAR COMES UP IN THIS, WHICH DIRECTLY LINKS BACK TO THE FEDERAL CASE THAT I FILED IN GOOD FAITH. ADRIAN PINDAR SHOWED UP AND PAID THE EXTORTION MONEY,
WHICH WAS $13,000, WHICH WAS LINKED TO CLAUDIA GAMMON, WHERE THEY CAME ONTO MY PROPERTY ILLEGALLY TAKING PICTURES OVER MY PRIVACY FENCE INSIDE OF
MY BEDROOM WINDOWS. 
          THAT'S AFTER CUTTING THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY TO BEGIN WITH,
WHICH IS LET'S SEE. 
          I'VE LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE ACTUALLY CUT THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY,
AND THE LAST TIME THEY CUT THEIR WAY INSIDE OF A PRIVACY FENCE WAS WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICERS STANDING THERE, WHICH IS THIS DATE RIGHT HERE. 
          AND WHENEVER THEY CUT THEIR WAY ONTO MY PROPERTY,
THEY MESSED UP EVERYTHING THAT I HAD IN ORDER. 
          AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND TOOK PICTURES OF IT AND TELL EVERYBODY THAT IT'S IN A MESS.
ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN ON MY PROPERTY KNOWS I KEEP MY STUFF NEAT. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO PRESENT, SIR? I'M SORRY. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT RIGHT NOW? YES, MA'AM. I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE THAT'S ON THE PHONE. 
          NO. I'M SORRY. UNLESS THEY ARE IN PERSON OR HAVE BEEN SWORN IN,
I CAN'T RECEIVE. 
          BILLY, DON'T MIND BEING SWORN IN OVER THE PHONE. OKAY. 
          WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHO BILLY IS. I DON'T KNOW WHO BILLY IS. 
          AND BILLY'S THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS ON. LET ME FINISH. OKAY. THERE HAS BEEN NO REQUEST TO
APPEAR. 
          [00:20:04]
TELEPHONICALLY. IF YOU WOULD WISH TO BRING A WITNESS,
YOU CAN DO THAT. 
          AND I CAN GET TESTIMONY FROM THEM IN PERSON. BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO EXAMINE THE
PERSON THAT PROVIDES TESTIMONY. 
          MA'AM, THIS GENTLEMAN THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WAS ON THE PHONE THE DAY THAT THEY CAME HERE, AND HE'S ALSO BEEN THERE FOR ALL THE OTHER HEARINGS WITHIN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND IT'S DIRECTLY LINKED BACK TO THE FEDERAL CASE OF RACKETEERING. 
          OKAY. YOU KNOW, THIS DOESN'T DEAL WITH YOUR FEDERAL CASE OF RACKETEERING AT ALL. 
          I HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER YOUR FEDERAL CASE WITH RACKETEERING. 
          NO, MA'AM. CODE ENFORCEMENT. THIS SITUATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. 
          ALL RIGHT, MA'AM, LET'S GO BACK TO THAT PICTURE RIGHT THERE,
THEN, IF YOU DON'T MIND. YES, MA'AM, I HEAR YOU. WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME TODAY? IS EVERYTHING DEALING WITH THE ACTUAL COST OF ABATEMENT? OKAY, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DEAL WITH YOUR NONAPPEARANCE IN JULY. 
          I'M SORRY. WE CAN'T REHASH WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED. 
          YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THE TIKI BAR WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND EVERYTHING? IT'S ALREADY BEEN FOUND TO BE UNFIT. YES, MA'AM. 
          BEFORE IT WAS REMOVED ON THE SEPTEMBER DATE. BUT THAT'S NOT A PICTURE OF THE TIKI BAR OF
THE DAY. 
          THEY CAME ONTO MY PROPERTY. THAT PICTURE RIGHT THERE WAS WHENEVER THEY TOOK. 
          AND I WAS STILL WORKING BEFORE THEY TOOK AND TRIED TO ABATE IT. 
          YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU'RE MINUS THE PICTURES. YOU'RE MINUS THE SWEAT EQUITY THAT I
PUT IN MY PROPERTY IS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU. 
          I HAVE HOURS AND HOURS OF LABOR THAT I FIX THAT STUFF RIGHT THERE WITH. 
          AND THEY DESTROYED ALL THE HOURS OF LABOR. AND ALL YOU'RE SEEING IS THEIR SELECT PICTURES. 
          OKAY. SO AGAIN, WHAT YOU'RE TESTIFYING AND STATING IS THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE DATES ON
THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE THE CORRECT. 
          I KNOW IT'S NOT THE CORRECT DATE. I GOT VIDEOTAPE RIGHT HERE. I CAN PROVE TO YOU. YES,
MA'AM. 
          IS YOUR TESTIMONY THAT THE DATES ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE NOT CORRECT AND THAT THEY DON'T
REFLECT THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THOSE DATES ARE WELL BEYOND ANYTHING I HAVE AUTHORITY OVER
TODAY. 
          OKAY, MA'AM. NOW, NOW, LET'S LET'S STOP AT THAT RIGHT THERE. 
          NOW, YOU SAY THOSE DATES ARE WELL BEYOND THESE DATES. 
          RIGHT? HERE ARE WHAT THEY'RE USING TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION THEY'RE GOING TO FIND ME. AND
THIS IS AN EXACT REPEAT OF WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING TO THE PEOPLE AS WELL AS ME. 
          SO FOR YOU TO SAY THAT THESE DATES AREN'T RELEVANT,
ANYTHING I DO. 
          WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, JUDGE OR THE MAGISTRATE THAT HANDLES THE CASE MAKES WHENEVER,
WHENEVER THEY'RE DISRUPTING THE COURTS AND TO PRESENT FALSE EVIDENCE TO THE COURTS. 
          THAT'S DISRUPTIVE. YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S NOT RIGHT. 
          YOUR ALLEGATION IS THAT IT'S NOT AN ALLEGATION. 
          LET ME FINISH. IT'S MY DECISION. IT'S THE JUDGE'S DECISION. 
          IT'S THE MAGISTRATE'S DECISION WHETHER IT IS ACCURATE OR NOT. 
          YOUR TESTIMONY IS THAT THE DATES ARE NOT ACCURATE. 
          YES, MA'AM. HEARD IT'S PUT ON THE RECORD. UNDERSTOOD. 
          BUT THE PROBLEM IS, WHAT I'M HERE TO ADDRESS TODAY IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF CODE
ENFORCEMENT REGARDING THE AMOUNT TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE, NOT WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS OUT OF COMPLIANCE,
NOT WHETHER OR NOT YOU SHOULD UP THE JULY HEARING AND HAD THE PHOTOGRAPHS PRESENTED. 
          THEN DID YOU PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE THAT AT THAT POINT IN TIME THAT IS NOT FOR DISCUSSION
TODAY? WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US TODAY IS DEALING WITH THE COST OF ABATEMENT,
AND WHETHER THE PROPERTY IS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITED VIOLATIONS. 
          YES, MA'AM. THAT BEING SAID, YOU CANNOT MAKE A DETERMINATION WHENEVER THE THE PHOTOGRAPHS
AIN'T RIGHT AND I'M NOT ALLOWED TO PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE IN MY DEFENSE. 
          AND I'M NOT. AND I CAN MORE THAN PROVE I'VE PRESENTED,
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I PRESENTED I PRESENTED SIGNED AFFIDAVITS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST AND I'VE TURNED A BLIND EYE TO IT. BUT SEE, HERE'S DOES THIS QUASI JUDICIAL SUPERSEDE
SUPERSEDE THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS? MA'AM, I AM NOT HERE TO GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE,
SIR? WELL, MA'AM, WHENEVER THEY CUT THEIR WAY INSIDE MY PRIVACY FENCE. 
          IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT ILLEGAL? WHENEVER THEY TOOK A TOOL THAT WAS WORTH OVER $1,000. 
          IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT ILLEGAL? I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY IS,
AND I. 
          OKAY. WHEN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS DIRECTED WHOEVER,
WHETHER IT BE THE PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE ASKING TO ABATE IT OR WHOEVER, RIGHT. WHENEVER THEY TOOK MY PERSONAL TOOLS. AND I'M SITTING THERE AND THIS MAN RIGHT HERE
WAS A WITNESS TO IT, BECAUSE I GOT IT ON VIDEO. AND I'M TELLING THESE PEOPLE THAT THAT IS MY VALUABLES. 
          IT'S A PERSONAL TOOL. THAT HAMMER BELONGED TO MY DADDY,
AND THEY'RE STILL TOOK IT. 
          AND THEN THEY, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO BACK TO THE THE TRUCK THAT THEY BACKED UP THERE,
YOU KNOW, THAT THAT THE THE THE THE TRAILER. I CAN SHOW YOU WHERE I HAD TO PAY GOOD MONEY,
GOOD MONEY TO GET THAT STUFF BROUGHT IN TO MY HOUSE 
          [00:25:02]
SO THAT I COULD FIX MY HOUSE. YOU KNOW, I HAD TO PAY SOMEBODY. 
          NOW, WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS TORE EVERYTHING UP,
RIGHT? AND NOW THEY'RE USING THE SWEAT EQUITY. IT TOOK THEM,
LIKE, FOUR HOURS TO TAKE APART EVERYTHING THAT I HAD DONE. 
          AND THEY'D DONE IT. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY CUT IT,
RIGHT? YOU SEE, ALL THAT WOOD IS STACKED OVER THERE? EACH ONE OF THOSE PLANKS COSTS MONEY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO BUILD MY HOUSE WITH,
FROM WHERE THEY DESTROYED IT FROM THE START OF ALL THIS, WHICH LED ME TO FINDING OUT ABOUT THE CRIMINAL ACTS TO WHERE THEY'RE TAKING AND EXTORTING
THE PEOPLE, WHICH I JUST FILED A NELSON HEARING IN A CIVIL CASE WHICH IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE
FEDERAL CASE, AND IT GOES BACK TO THEM STEALING THE PROPERTIES RIGHT DOWN TO EXTORTION FROM A LADY WHERE
THEY TOLD HER SHE OWED $42,000 FOR ONE DAY'S LABOR, NOT TO MENTION WHAT THEY DID TO THIS GENTLEMAN RIGHT HERE,
DID TO DOUG JULIO'S HOME, DID TO SHAUNA'S HOME AND ALL THIS. 
          THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT PUT ROOFS ON THEIR HOUSES,
BROUGHT THEIR PROPERTIES IN COMPLIANCE, AND THEY STILL DESTROYED A PERSON'S HOME. 
          A PERSON'S HOME IS THEIR SANCTITY. THESE PEOPLE COME UP AND DESTROY IT WITH PRIDE,
AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND THEY TAKE THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE ABATEMENT AND THEN STEAL THE PROPERTY. AND THEN IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE COUNTY AND
EVERYBODY ELSE. 
          HE'S FAMOUS FOR IT. I'VE GOT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE TESTIFYING AND CRYING ON MY
SHOULDER BECAUSE THIS MAN RIGHT HERE DESTROYED THEIR HOME. 
          A HOME IS THE MOST SACRED PLACE THEY GOT. AND NOW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ON THE STREET,
YOU KNOW, AND NOT TO MENTION THE TOOLS, YOU KNOW, THEY TOOK THEY TOOK MY PERSONAL TOOLS AND THEY GET
TO RUN AMOK. 
          AND THEN THEY PUT ANY TYPE OF PICTURE LIKE THEY WANT. AND PEOPLE ARE NOT AS OR GET A
LAWYER. 
          IT'S WHAT THEY SAY, SUE ME, YOU KNOW. AND THEN IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE,
YOU KNOW, YOU STEALING PEOPLE'S PROPERTY, CUTTING YOUR WAY ONTO THE PROPERTY. THAT GATE WASN'T OPEN LIKE THAT. THEY CUT THEIR WAY ON
THAT GATE. 
          AND THAT PICTURE RIGHT THERE, I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN BECAUSE MY MY GATE
WASN'T LIKE THAT WHENEVER THAT. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT WAS TAKEN BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT AFTER THE TORNADO. 
          YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHAT A TORNADO WOULD DO TO SOMETHING. 
          THESE PEOPLE COME ON MY PROPERTY WHEN I AIN'T THERE AND TAKE PICTURES IF YOU DON'T THINK
THEY WANT. 
          I GOT PICTURES OF THEM TAKING PICTURES INSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW WHERE THEY HAD TO GO
THROUGH THE EXACT SAME GATE, AND THEN THEY USE IT AGAINST ME. YOU KNOW, YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S LAST I HEARD, YOU KNOW, OUR CONSTITUTION,
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, GOVERNMENT AIN'T ALLOWED TO GO ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. AND I'VE ALREADY TRIED TO TELL THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, I WANT THESE PEOPLE OFF MY PROPERTY FOR THE
VALUABLES THEY STOLE IN THE FIRST TIME, YOU KNOW, BACK IN 2010, YOU KNOW, WHICH COME AGAINST MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BACK THEN. 
          SIR, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE RELATED TO WHAT I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEAL WITH TODAY THAT
YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT? BILLY, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU THINK I LEFT OUT? WHAT ABOUT THE STUFF THEY STOLE IN THE SHERIFF WAS PRESENT? YEAH. WHAT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY VALUABLES? ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT? YES,
MA'AM. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IN. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IN. 
          ASK WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TOOLS? AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MY TOOLS BACK? BECAUSE MY TOOLS WAS NOT TRASH AND DEBRIS. YOU KNOW,
MY GRINDER WAS TRASH AND DEBRIS. 
          MY DADDY'S HAMMER WASN'T CRASHING DEBRIS. MY MY LIGHTS FROM MY ROCK GARDEN WASN'T CRASHING
DEBRIS. 
          MY ROCKS FROM MY ROCK. ROCK GARDEN WASN'T TRASH AND DEBRIS,
YOU KNOW, AND MY, MY MY KNIFE MAKING MATERIALS WASN'T CRASHING DEBRIS. 
          MY CROWBARS WASN'T TRASHING DEBRIS. OKAY. HAVE YOU MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO CONTACT OR
COMMUNICATE WITH THE CONTRACTOR WHO DID THE WORK ON YOUR PROPERTY TO CLEAN THEM ONCE AGAIN? WHENEVER THEY CAME ON MY PROPERTY,
I LET THE RECORDS INDICATE I CUSSED THIS MAN FOR EVERYTHING IT'S WORTH BECAUSE HE VIOLATED EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT I HAVE DURING THE MEANTIME,
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE DOING IT. 
          AND I'M TELLING THEM AS I'M CALLING OUT, HEY,
THAT'S MY DADDY'S HAMMER. THAT'S MY, MY, MY CUT WOOD THAT YOU'RE TAKING, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S MY TILE. THEY TOOK THE TILE,
MAN THAT I NEEDED TO FIX FROM WHERE THEY FLOODED MY HOUSE. 
          THEY TOOK MY TILE. OKAY. NOW, WHILE I WAS TAKING CALLING OUT THESE PEOPLE,
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE DOING IT SAYING, SIR, I'M JUST DOING WHAT THIS MAN RIGHT HERE IS TELLING ME TO DO BECAUSE I TOLD HIM,
I SAID, YOU'RE COMING AGAINST EVERYTHING. THAT IS THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS AS WE KNOW
IT. AND THE GUY SAYS, LISTEN, I'M SORRY, HE SAYS, BUT I'M HAVING TO DO WHAT THAT MAN RIGHT THERE IS TELLING ME
TO DO. 
          AND THEN DURING THE MEANTIME, NOW, NOW Y'ALL TRYING TO PASS IT BACK OFF ON THE
CONTRACTORS. 
          IT'S NOT THE CONTRACTORS THAT'S STEALING THE STUFF. 
          IT'S THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE THAT'S STEALING THE STUFF THE CONTRACTORS ARE JUST DOING. 
          AS THEY TOLD THEY BLIND PAWNS OF OPPRESSION,
JUST LIKE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW? BUT THE THING ABOUT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS,
I'VE ALREADY MADE A LINK WHERE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS DIRECTLY PINNED TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT'S TAKING THE PROPERTIES,
YOU KNOW, AND AS THEY HAD THE FRAUD THE OTHER DAY AND THEY SAID THE FRAUD WAS OVER $100,000, WHICH MADE IT A CAPITAL FELONY. IF YOU TAKE ALL THE CODE ENFORCEMENT ON
PROPERTIES THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GUILTY OF SEIZING, IT FALLS WELL OVER $100,000, WHICH MAKES IT A CAPITAL FELONY. 
          OKAY. NOW, THAT BEING SAID, THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE IN HERE. 
          THIS GENTLEMAN RIGHT HERE WITH THE BLACK HAT ON,
I'M ALLOWED. 
          [00:30:03]
I WANT TO CALL AS A WITNESS, BECAUSE HE'S ALSO HAD EXPERIENCES WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT THAT
DIRECTLY LINKS TO THE CRIMINAL ACTS THAT COME AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS, DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CASE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. 
          YES, MA'AM. THIS IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE CASE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW,
BECAUSE THIS MAN RIGHT HERE, WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL AS A WITNESS? THIS GENTLEMAN RIGHT HERE.

          GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I REALLY ONLY CAME HERE TO SEE THE ENTERTAINMENT AND

          YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE. YEAH. THE DUMPSTER. THE HAUL OFF. 
          YOU FILLED THE BACK OF THAT, RIGHT? THAT IS THE DUMPSTER THAT WAS USED BY THE COMPANY THAT
CLEANED YOUR PROPERTY. 
          YES. OKAY, MA'AM. WHENEVER THEY PUT THAT STUFF IN THERE,
I HAD TO PAY SOMEBODY TO USE THE SAME SIZE CONTAINER TO GET THE WOOD THAT I NEEDED TO BUILD, WHAT I HAD TO BUILD WITH. LIKE I SAY,
I CAN MORE THAN PROVE THAT THESE PEOPLE DESTROYED MY STUFF FROM THE START, WHICH IS A REPEATED PATTERN. OKAY. YOU KNOW,
AND THEY'RE TAKING PICTURES AS THEY SEE FIT. 
          YES, SIR. ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT? DO YOU SUPERSEDE THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS? I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION. 
          YOU CAN ASK ME WHATEVER YOU WANT TO. I WILL ANSWER JUST WHAT I WANT TO. 
          YES, MA'AM. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO PRESENT WITH REGARD TO WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH
TODAY? YES, MA'AM. THIS ALL HAS TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          A HARD TIME FOLLOWING WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          YOU'VE BEGUN WITH A CRIMINAL CASE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EXTORTION. 
          YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS. YES,
MA'AM. HERE IN FRONT OF ME TODAY, MAYBE YOU AREN'T CLEAR ABOUT WHAT I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT TODAY. YES, MA'AM. WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IS THE COST OF
ABATEMENT AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD BE ASSESSED AGAINST YOU OR THE PROPERTY. WELL, IF YOU THINK COMING ON A PERSON'S PROPERTY AND FRAMING THEM AND
THEN TAKING AND CONTINUING UP THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION, THAT I CAN MORE THAN PROVE THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. AND IF YOU DON'T THINK IT COMES AGAINST
THE CONSTITUTION FOR THEM TO TAKE PICTURES OVER MY PRIVACY FENCE, CUT THEIR WAY ONTO MY PROPERTY AND MESS EVERYTHING UP AND TAKE PICTURES,
WHICH IF YOU GO AND CHECK. 
          IN THE PAST I MADE DIRECT REFERENCE TO. OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, AND HOW Y'ALL KEEP US INSIDE OF A. YOU TAKE THE PEOPLE,
ISOLATE THEM, KEEP THEM INSIDE OF A ROOM AND THEN TAKING IT AND HAVE YOUR WAY WITH THEM WHEN THEY AIN'T GOT NO WAY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. 
          AND YOU COMPLETELY WALK OVER THE CONSTITUTION IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING. 
          OKAY? WHENEVER A PERSON IS HAS YOU HAVE YOU HAVE A SANCTITY OF HOME. 
          IT'S CALLED A WHAT'S IT CALLED? I WANT YOU TO. 
          CARTILAGE, CARTILAGE, CARTILAGE. I WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS VERY CLEARLY. 
          YES, MA'AM. THE ONLY THING YOU'RE PRESENTING AT ALL WITH REGARD TO EVIDENCE IS WHAT YOU
BELIEVE IS CORRECT OR INCORRECT. 
          WHAT YOU BELIEVE THE DATE SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T BE. 
          THE FACT THAT YOU JUST SAY THEY'RE NOT ACCURATE. 
          WELL, MA'AM, YOU'RE SAYING BELIEVE. NO, I'M GOING TO FINISH. 
          THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO ME ARE THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS. 
          YOUR TESTIMONY, AS FAR AS WHAT YOU BELIEVE, IS EXACTLY THAT WHAT YOU BELIEVE. 
          THE ONLY EVIDENCE I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME DEALS WITH THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY ORDERS
THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ENTERED, NOT JUST MYSELF, BUT ANOTHER MAGISTRATE HAS LOOKED AT THE DATES,
THE VIEWS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, 
          [00:35:05]
SEEN THE PROPERTY CONDITION AND SAID IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE. 
          THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. IT WAS ORDERED PREVIOUSLY ON MULTIPLE TIMES. 
          OKAY, THAT LET ME FINISH THAT. THE PROPERTY IS TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          THESE ARE THE ISSUES AND THAT A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR WAS PERMITTED TO BRING THE PROPERTY
INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          WHAT I AM LOOKING AT IS EXACTLY THAT. OKAY, MA'AM. 
          THAT BEING SAID, YOU JUST NOW TRAPPED ME BECAUSE YOU SIT THERE AND YOU MADE REFERENCES IN
THE PAST OF STUFF THAT YOU SAY I CAN'T TALK ABOUT. 
          OKAY. WHENEVER I SIT HERE AND I TELL YOU ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO. 
          OKAY? BUT YOU JUST NOW SAID IN THE PREVIOUS PART,
I'M NOT GOING. 
          YOU SAID PREVIOUS DECISIONS ABOUT STUFF THAT IS NOT IN FRONT OF ME. 
          OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO PRESENT WITH REGARD TO TODAY'S HEARING? YES. WHETHER OR NOT THE AMOUNT ORDER ENTERED BY A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR WHO CAME ON THE
PROPERTY AND DID WORK SHOULD BE ASSESSED AGAINST YOU. IT'S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DO IT,
MA'AM. 
          BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. MA'AM,
CAN I SPEAK? YOU HAVE TO KNOW. WELL, YOU KEEP TALKING OVER ME. 
          YOU. OVER AND OVER. NO YOU HAVEN'T. KEEP TELLING ME. 
          OF COURSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. SIR. 
          WHAT? I HAVE PRACTICED LAW FOR OVER 23. I CAN'T HELP IT. 
          YOU SHOULD KNOW THE CONSTITUTION THEN I GUARANTEE YOU,
I KNOW THE CONSTITUTION. 
          WELL, TELL ME THE FIRST AMENDMENT. TELL ME THE FOURTH AMENDMENT,
MA'AM. WHAT'S THE FOURTH AMENDMENT? I AM NOT HERE TO GIVE YOU FREE LEGAL ADVICE. 
          I'M NOT TAKING LEGAL ADVICE. I'M TELLING YOU THE LAW THAT YOU'RE BREAKING. I AM GOING TO
FINISH TALKING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          DOMINATE IN FRONT. I'M SORRY. DOMINATE ME. I AM NOT HERE TO DOMINATE. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU CAN GET UP AND LEAVE IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT'S BEING SAID AND
WHAT'S BEING DONE IN THIS COURTROOM. 
          REALLY? YES. YOU MAY. WHY WOULD I DO THAT WHEN I'M HOLDING UP THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
BILL OF RIGHTS AND ALL THE CRIMINAL ACTS, YOU COME AGAINST EVERYBODY. NOBODY'S FORCING YOU IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I PUT MY HAND ON THE BIBLE TO UPHOLD,
WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU'VE DONE. 
          I AM NOT GOING TO TALK OVER YOU. DO WE HAVE A BAILIFF? WHAT FOR? THERE'S A BUTTON ON THE SIDE. HEY,
MA'AM. 
          NO, I AIN'T DONE NOTHING. BILLY THE CALLING THE COPS ON ME. 
          NO, I'M NOT CALLING THE COPS. I'M ASKING YOU TO STOP TALKING OVER ME AND LET'S STAY. 
          WHAT? THE ISSUE IS IN FRONT OF US. YES. HE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN OR HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. 
          I'M HERE FOR SECURITY OF THE COURTHOUSE. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS HAPPENING IN OUR FACILITY. 
          YES, SIR. I'M NOT ASSIGNED TO THIS PROCEEDING. 
          YES, SIR. WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF CONTACT. 
          YES, SIR. I'M NOT CARRYING ON ANY. YES, SIR. I HEAR YOU. 
          LISTEN TO ME REAL QUICK. YES, SIR. YOU EITHER NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAGISTRATE IS
SAYING. 
          AS FAR AS THE DECORUM OF THIS COURTROOM, THAT IF SHE SAYS THAT SHE CANNOT COMPLETE THIS
HEARING WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION, THE WAY YOU'RE ACTING. YES, SIR. THEN FOR THE SECURITY OF THIS,
THIS HEARING PERSONS IN IT, WE WILL REMOVE YOU FROM THE COURT. THANK YOU SIR. IF I MIGHT ADDRESS YOU,
PLEASE. 
          I DON'T WANT TO TAKE. OKAY. YOU DON'T, BUT I'LL. 
          IF I JUST MIGHT ADDRESS YOU PERSONALLY. OKAY. 
          THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF WHERE THEY USED THE COPS TO INTIMIDATE ME AND RUN OVER MY
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. 
          I'M NOT PART OF THIS HEARING, I AM. YES, SIR. 
          I AGREE, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE. OH, BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T TAKE THE TRUTH. 
          I'M HERE FOR THE SECURITY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. 
          WHAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IS, IF SHE'S SAYING SHE CANNOT PERFORM HER FUNCTION AS THE
MAGISTRATE FOR THIS HEARING, AND SHE IS GOING TO ASK, THE BASE OF THE HEARING WILL GO WITHOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE
STOPPING HER FROM DOING WHAT SHE HAS TO DO. 
          THANK YOU SIR. THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE THAT RIGHT UP TO BE IN HERE. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
ASK YOU TO LEAVE. AND IF NOT, THEN I UNDERSTAND, SIR, I'LL TRY. I WILL TRY TO TAKE AND AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND. SHE HAS A HEARING TO HEAR AS A MAGISTRATE. 
          THAT IS HER AUTHORITY. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONDUCT YOURSELF IN A MANNER THAT ALLOWS HER
TO PERFORM THAT, AND ALLOWS YOU TO TRY TO ADDRESS WHATEVER ISSUES YOU HAVE. 
          IF SHE SAYS THAT SHE CANNOT CONDUCT THAT HEARING BECAUSE OF YOUR CONDUCT,
OR OTHER PEOPLE IN HERE ARE IN JEOPARDY, THEN WE WILL. AND SHE ASKED US FOR THAT. WE AGREE WITH YOU. 
          IS THAT A FAIR ASSESSMENT? THANK YOU SIR, I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY. SO AGAIN THIS IS NOT MY VALLEY,
SO TO SPEAK. 
          THANK YOU SIR, BUT WE CANNOT HAVE THIS ANYMORE OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. 
          THE RECORDING CAN ONLY GET ONE OF OUR VOICES AT A TIME. 
          SO WE CAN'T SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER AND THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET OUR RECORDING. 
          WHAT I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS WHAT I FEEL LIKE I'VE SAID OVER AND OVER,
BUT IF YOU'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT I'M SAYING, I WILL CERTAINLY FIND SOME OTHER WAY TO SAY IT. 
          WHAT I HAVE BEFORE ME TODAY TO DISCUSS AND ADDRESS IS WHETHER OR NOT $3,491 SHOULD BE ASSESSED AGAINST THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. 
          [00:40:03]
THAT. LET ME FINISH. YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE ME. 
          YES, MA'AM. IF THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE TO PRESENT WITH REGARD TO THAT,
I WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR THAT. 
          ADDITIONALLY, I'VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. 
          I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE CRIMINAL MATTER. I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE ALL OTHER ELEMENTS,
INCLUDING THE OIL SPILL SITUATION. 
          I WANT TO FIND OUT FROM YOU VERY CLEARLY. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EVIDENCE OR INFORMATION TO
PRESENT? ABOUT $3,491.60. IT WAS ASSESSED OR ORDERED BY THE PREVIOUS WORK. 
          THAT WAS YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM. YOU CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION I JUST ASKED,
BUT I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION UNTIL I ASK THE QUESTION. 
          GO AHEAD SIR. OKAY. I DID NOT KNOW THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE USING AGAINST
ME. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS. I HAVE VIDEOTAPED EVIDENCE AS WELL AS PICTURES,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS COMING IN HERE AND WHAT WAS GOING TO BE USED AGAINST ME. 
          IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN POSTPONE THIS? NO. OKAY. 
          UNTIL I CAN GET THE EVIDENCE THAT I NEED TO TAKE AND PROVE THE POINTS THAT I'M PROVING. 
          KNOW WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JULY OF THE FIRST HEARING OF
2025. 
          THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THAT ORDER WAS ENTERED IN JULY OF 25. 
          WE ARE NOT GOING TO POSTPONE ANY FURTHER. AGAIN,
I'M NOT THE ONLY ITEM DIRECTLY LINKING FROM THAT DATE TO HERE. 
          ITEMS ARE. THAT IS BEFORE ME TODAY TO MAKE ANY DECISION ABOUT IS WHETHER OR NOT THE AMOUNT
I HAVE STATED SHOULD BE ASSESSED AGAINST THE PROPERTY, AND WHETHER THEY DID THE WORK BROUGHT IT INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO PRESENT WITH REGARD TO THAT? WELL, MA'AM, I CAN'T BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS FACING TO BEGIN WITH. 
          I HAVE THE EVIDENCE. I JUST DON'T HAVE IT IN THAT. 
          I'VE GOT VIDEOTAPED EVIDENCE, I'VE GOT PICTURES OF IT. 
          AND LIKE I SAY, IT'S WHEN I GET SIT DOWN AND THEY PUT STUFF IN FRONT OF ME I'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE. 
          AND THEN THEY SHUFFLE UP THE PICTURES. IT'S EXACT REPEAT OF WHERE THEY'RE RIPPING ME OF
EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT I HAD. 
          AND GUESS WHAT? SUE ME. IT'S WHAT THEY SAY. BUT AS YOU SIT HERE RIGHT NOW,
YES. 
          YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EVIDENCE RELATED TO THE $3,400? MA'AM, I HAVE EVIDENCE, I JUST DIDN'T I DON'T HAVE IT IN ORDER BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS FACING, AND I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO NEED IT HERE,

          HANG ON A SECOND. I GOT TO TRY TO FIND IT. I'VE ONLY GOT 900 DIFFERENT. 
          HERE WE GO. HERE'S SOMETHING RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE FIRST LAWYER THEY APPOINTED TO ME. 
          AND THEN HOW ARE WE DOING? IT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THEM. 
          ARE THE MAN OF THE YEAR. BUDDY, YOU JUST GOT HANDED ONE OF THE BIGGEST CASES IN THE UNITED
STATES. 
          I SUFFER FROM A RARE FORM OF DYSLEXIA. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW IT OR NOT,
BUT IN 2010, CLAUDIA GAMMON, 
          [00:45:07]
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, JACKED MY IDENTITY. 
          YES, MA'AM. THIS HAS GOT THE PICTURES. IN JUST A MINUTE. 
          IT'S GOING TO SHOW THE CONDITION OF MY PROPERTY AS SOON AS IT GETS TO WHERE IT'S AT. OKAY. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING PRINTED THAT I CAN PUT IN THE RECORD? HANG ON A SECOND. I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WHAT EVIDENCE OR INFORMATION YOU'RE PRESENTING? YES,
MA'AM. IN JUST A SECOND. THIS VIDEO IS GOING TO SCAN ON MY PROPERTY, AND IT'S GOING TO SHOW MY TIKI BAR THAT THEY TOOK DOWN, AND IT'S GOING TO SHOW MY WOOD STACK THAT THEY
MESSED UP. 
          SO I'M JUST TRYING TO GET TO IT. VIOLATED MY FIRST AMENDMENT. 
          I'M TRYING TO BE AS CLEAR AS I CAN POSSIBLY BE ON THIS $3,491.60 IS THE AMOUNT THAT THE CONTRACTOR. OKAY, THIS IS MY PROPERTY, MA'AM. 
          WATCH THE VIDEO. LISTEN TO ME. I DON'T NEED TO SEE. 
          I'M SORRY. I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I KNOW WHAT I NEED TO GET YOU TO UNDERSTAND. 
          IS THAT WHAT IS HERE TODAY? THE HEARING THAT WE'RE HAVING IS RELATED TO THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY THAT THE CONTRACTOR SAYS IS ASSOCIATED WITH BRINGING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE,
$3,491.60. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE EVIDENCE WISE THAT I NEED TO LOOK AT,
PUT IN THE FILE AND ALLOW CODE ENFORCEMENT TO LOOK AT AS WELL. 
          BEFORE I MAKE A DECISION ABOUT HOW THIS. MA'AM,
I GOT THIS RIGHT HERE WHERE I'M TALKING TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, TRYING TO GET THESE PEOPLE STOPPED FROM COMING ON MY PROPERTY AND REPEATING THE PROCESS. 
          IF YOU'LL SEE JUST A MINUTE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE STUFF THAT THEY'RE CALLING TRASH AND
DEBRIS THAT THEY DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF MY SWEAT EQUITY. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE IT. I COULD DO IT ON A I'VE GOT LIKE 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT
VIDEOTAPES OF IT. 
          BUT LIKE I SAY, I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE. 
          SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO FINISH PLAYING THIS AS SOON AS IT GETS TO THE POINT
WHERE I CAN SEE MY TIKI BAR. 
          I'LL LET YOU SEE MY TIKI BAR, OKAY? BECAUSE THAT'D BE THE ONLY THING. 
          THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DO IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS CASE. 
          IN CASE THE ONLY THING, THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO BE MENTIONED TO THE COURT OR THE
COURT IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE I'M GOING TO TRY TO FAST FORWARD A LITTLE BIT. 
          YES. OKAY. WELL, THE THING ABOUT IT IS, SIR I'VE BEEN SUBJECT TO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL IN 14TH
JUDICIAL. 
          THEY'VE TAKEN EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT I HAVE,
YOU KNOW. 
          AND IT DOES. DIDN'T YOU SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS? ABSOLUTELY. NONE OF THAT MATTERS HERE. TWO WALLS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, THEY COULD HAVE TREATED YOU THE WORST PERSON ON EARTH. 
          THAT'S WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE THE LAW. MY ABILITY TO PRESENT WITNESSES. 
          AND I THINK THE LAST TIME I WENT, THEY DID IN THE PSYCH WARD. 
          I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THEM BECAUSE THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE. 
          ANY OF THAT AGAINST YOU? WELL, THAT'S WHAT THEY PAID FOR MY MONEY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T. I AIN'T NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THAT STUFF. 
          I KNOW IT'S NOT WHAT I'M CHARGED WITH, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO ME. 
          AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS ESTABLISH THE FACT THAT I'M HANDICAPPED,
OKAY? I CAN'T EAT. THEY DEPRIVE ME OF EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO LIVE. 
          AND THEY PROCEEDED TO KILL HER. HANG ON A SECOND. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO HANG ON. WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ALMOST AN HOUR,
AND I'M. 
          YES, MA'AM. IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT I WAS GOING TO BE FACED WITH. YES,
MA'AM. 
          OKAY, WELL. YOU'RE HERE. YOU HAVE THE NOTICE. 
          THE SAME AS ANYONE ELSE GETS WHEN THEY COME BEFORE A HEARING. 
          I AM GOING TO MAKE A DECISION AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE RESPONDENT IS ORDERED TO PAY THE COSTS,
ABATING THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,491.60 PLUS STATUTORY INTEREST UPON RECORDING OF THE FINAL ORDER. I'M TALKING. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A PHONE GOING WITH SOMEBODY ON THE OTHER
END. 
          I NEED THEM TO STOP TALKING OR HANG UP YOUR PHONE. 
          OKAY. UPON A RECORDING OF THE FINAL ORDER IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BAY COUNTY,
FLORIDA, THE COST LEVIED AGAINST THE RESPONDENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND ON WHICH THE VIOLATION EXISTS AND AGAINST ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT. 
          THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY ASSESS THE COST OF ABATING THE VIOLATION AGAINST THE
PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ACT IN CHAPTER 21 OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE. THAT CONCLUDES MY ORDER. 
          THAT WILL CONCLUDE TODAY'S HEARING ON CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          CASE 20250604. PROPERTY ADDRESS WAS 2601 BEACH DRIVE. 
          [00:50:05]
YES, MA'AM. CAN I ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION? NO,
SIR. 
          THE HEARING IS OVER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN. 
          WHAT DO I DO IF I WANT TO APPEAL? YOU'LL. I AGAIN,
NOT HERE TO GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY FOLLOW WHATEVER REGULATIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR APPEALING ANYTHING. OKAY, BILLY,
YOU UP WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT. WE ARE MOVING ON NOW TO LETTER C ON THE AGENDA. 
          IT'S CODE ENFORCEMENT. CASE 20250468. THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 1139 FIFTH STREET,
PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. ITEM D IS HEAR,
NOT SEE. 
          OH, I'M SO SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. WE'LL SKIP OVER TO D. 
          MY APOLOGIES. IT'S CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE 20250564. 
          PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 1119 FOURTH STREET IN SOUTHPORT. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, YOU MAGISTRATE COURT JUSTICE,
BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. I HAVE SUBMITTED MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT FOR THE RECORD. 
          MY NOTICES ARE ATTACHED AS WELL AS MY PHOTOGRAPHS. 
          THIS IS A FINAL HEARING TO IMPOSE A LIEN FOR COST OF ABATEMENT AND FINES FOR
NONCOMPLIANCE. 
          A COMPLIANCE HEARING WAS HEARD BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON AUGUST 14TH,
2025. 
          THE MAGISTRATE FOUND THE RESPONDENT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE FIRST HEARING ORDER HELD ON
JULY THE 10TH, 2025. THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THIS HEARING. 
          PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY ARE INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT A AND ARE CONTAINED IN
THE CASE FILE. 
          THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN PRIOR TO THE COMPLIANCE HEARING. 
          THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE ADDRESS 1119 FOURTH STREET. 
          YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. 
          AROUND THE CURVE OF THE HOUSE YOU SEE MORE JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY. 
          THE MAGISTRATE DIRECTED THE STAFF TO ABATE THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF
ENFORCEMENT, TO CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED, AND UPON ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VIOLATORS. 
          ANY FINES AND COSTS OF ABATEMENT WOULD BE IMPOSED AT A FINAL HEARING. 
          A COPY OF THIS ORDER IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE
FILE. 
          ON AUGUST THE 12TH, A NOTICE OF INTENT WAS SENT CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY
OWNER, STATING THAT WORK WOULD BEGIN ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER THE 15TH,
2025. 
          ON AUGUST THE 27TH PRE-BID INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE ADDRESS 1119 FOURTH STREET. 
          YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ITEMS, THE JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY ALONG THE EAST
SIDE OF THE HOUSE. 
          THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WHERE A LOT OF THE ITEMS WERE ACTUALLY LOCATED. 
          THE JUNK, HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY. 
          SOME MORE ITEMS. JUNK, HOUSEHOLD TRASH OR STORAGE OF DEBRIS. 
          SOME JUNK AND TRASH ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY LINE. 
          THIS PHOTOGRAPH YOUR MAGISTRATE HAS TAKEN ON THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY. 
          THERE IS A COUNTY OWNED RIGHT OF WAY. SOME OF THE JUNK AND TRASH FROM 1119 FOURTH STREET
WAS LOCATED ON THE COUNTY, MAINTAINED RIGHT AWAY IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. MORE MORE PHOTOGRAPHS DURING THE PRE-BID OF THE
JUNK IN THE TRASH AROUND THE BACK OF THE HOUSE ON AUGUST. EXCUSE ME. ON OCTOBER THE 14TH I CONDUCTED ANOTHER RE INSPECTION. 
          YES. THANK YOU. IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE,
BUT THE PROPERTY WAS STILL IN VIOLATION. 
          SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NOTED HERE. THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE HERE. SOME MORE JUNK AND TRASH. 
          SOME JUNK AND TRASH AROUND THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. ACTUALLY.
HERE. BEHIND THE HOUSE. 
          THE PROPERTY WAS CLEANED BY A COMPANY CONTRACTED BY THE COUNTY OUT OF COST OF $1,999,
AND UPON INSPECTION ON OCTOBER THE 15TH, 2025, THE PROPERTY WAS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. 
          THERE'S THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE WITH THE ITEMS REMOVED. 
          THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY BEHIND THE HOUSE. ANOTHER SHOT OF THE PROPERTY BEHIND THE HOUSE
AND DOWN THE RIGHT AWAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. ON OCTOBER 31ST,
THE NOTICE OF FINAL HEARING WAS SENT CERTIFIED IN REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER USING THE ADDRESS 1119 FOURTH STREET, SOUTHPORT, FLORIDA. 
          THE CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED TO THE RESPONDENT ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER,
2025. 
          THE REGULAR NOTICE HAS NOT RETURNED AS OF THIS DATE. 
          ON DECEMBER THE 17TH, 2025, A COPY OF THE NOTICE WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY,
AND ON THE 18TH OF DECEMBER, A COPY OF THE NOTICE WAS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER. THAT CONCLUDES MY
TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME. 
          ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT AT THIS TIME? AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION? COME ON UP. IF YOU'LL GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD,
PLEASE. 
          [00:55:03]
CHRISTIAN PRESCOTT AND I LIVE AT 1119 FOURTH STREET. 
          OKAY, MR. PRESCOTT, TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND IS GOING ON WITH
THE PROPERTY. 
          A LOT OF THE DEBRIS AND STUFF THAT THE PICTURES WAS ACCUMULATED OVER A LOT OF YEARS,
AND I RECENTLY HAD MY FAMILY MOVE INTO THE HOUSE, AND THAT'S BEEN PRETTY STRESSFUL. 
          AND I'M THE ONLY ONE IN MY HOUSE THAT WORKS RIGHT NOW,
BUT. 
          MR.. TIM JUSTICE, HE I'D TALK TO HIM A LITTLE BIT,
BUT ALL OF THE ALL OF THE INTERACTIONS WERE MAINLY BETWEEN HIM AND MY MOM. SO A LOT OF THE INFORMATION, LIKE THE DATES,
THAT'S WHY I MISSED THE FIRST HEARING. 
          ALL THAT WAS KIND OF NEVER REALLY GOT TO ME,
SO IT MADE IT REALLY MESSY DEALING WITH ALL OF THAT. 
          I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN THAT. 
          THAT I DID WHAT I COULD WITH THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD,
WHICH WASN'T MUCH. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO LOVE FAMILY, RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. I'M NOT A MAGISTRATE. YES. THE. I THINK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS
THAT HE DID SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK, BUT JUST DIDN'T WASN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE IT,
SO WE WOULD NOT BE WOULD WOULDN'T OBJECT TO A REDUCTION IN FINES. HEARD THAT. OKAY. DOES CODE ENFORCEMENT'S ORIGINAL ORDER? DO YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU WANT TO PRESENT,
OR DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST GO AHEAD AND PRESENT AN ORDER? YEAH. OKAY. PARTS OF THE ABATEMENT. OKAY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE? WE'VE GOT BOTH A COST OF ABATEMENT, WHICH MEANS SOMEBODY CAME IN. 
          FINISH UP. KEEP CRACKING ON THAT MIC. SORRY IF IT CRACKS IN YOUR EARS. 
          SO THE COST OF ABATEMENT IS SOMEBODY COMING IN AND GETTING EVERYTHING FIXED UP AND
FINISHING THE STUFF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GET DONE SO WE CAN GET THAT BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. THE OTHER IS THE ACTUAL FINE. THE FINE THAT IS ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR THROUGH
CODE ENFORCEMENT IS $700. THE COST OF ABATEMENT IS THE COST OF THE THIRD PARTY DID AT $1,999. 
          COST OF ABATEMENT. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF
WIGGLE ROOM WITH THAT. 
          SO EVERYBODY ELSE ISN'T PAID THE TAX DOLLARS TO FIX WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE WITH REGARD TO
THE FINE. 
          YOU DID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATES YOU COMING IN AND TRYING TO GET AS MUCH DONE
AS POSSIBLE. 
          THEY'VE ASKED FOR $700. FINE. I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT DOWN TO 250. 
          THAT'S LESS THAN HALF. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO IT. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT THE FINE WILL GET ASSESSED DIFFERENTLY FROM THE ACTUAL COST OF
ABATEMENT. 
          SO THE FINE YOU CAN DEAL DIRECTLY WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT TO GET TAKEN CARE OF. 
          THE ACTUAL ABATEMENT COST WILL GO THROUGH YOUR TAXES IF YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF THAT BY
YOUR OWN. 
          OKAY, OKAY. I ALWAYS RECOMMEND STAY IN TOUCH WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT SO THAT YOU CAN. 
          IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION ABOUT HOW YOU GET PAYMENT DONE OR WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE,
THEY CAN HELP POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME,
SIR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. 
          AND THAT WILL CONCLUDE TODAY'S HEARING ON CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE 20250564 PROPERTY
ADDRESSES 1119 FOURTH STREET. ALL RIGHT. MOVING BACK TO LETTER A,
CORRECT. 
          YES. OKAY. FOR THE PHONE CALL, WE HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE 20251873 PROPERTY ADDRESSES

FLORIDA, 32409.

          CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY. YES, MA'AM, I CAN. PERFECT. 
          WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS I WILL HEAR FIRST FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          JUST GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY. 
          AND THEN IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO IT,
FEEL FREE AT THAT TIME TO TELL ME WHATEVER I NEED TO KNOW. 
          BY ALL MEANS. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS TECHNOLOGY THING TO BE REALLY GREAT AND WORK FOR
EVERYBODY WITH THIS TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION. 
          IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME. YOU CAN'T HEAR ME OR THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TALKING. 
          DON'T EVER HESITATE TO TELL US. WE'LL FIND SOME BETTER WAY TO MAKE SURE WE COMMUNICATE
WELL. 
          OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          IF YOU'LL GO AHEAD, PLEASE. THANK YOU. JENNIFER. 
          THIS IS TIM. CAN YOU HEAR ME? I CAN, THANK YOU. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. YOUR MAGISTRATE, TIM JUSTICE,
BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS A NONCOMPLIANCE HEARING FOR 7831 GASTON AVENUE. 
          I HAVE SUBMITTED MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT FOR THE RECORD,
ALONG WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND NOTICES ARE ATTACHED. 
          THIS CASE WENT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON THE 20TH OF NOVEMBER,
2025, AND WAS FOUND IN VIOLATION OF BAY COUNTY CODE 17 TWO,
IN THE FORM OF JUNK, TRASH, UNSCREENED USE, PERSONAL PROPERTY AND IN VIOLATION OF BAY COUNTY CODE 17 TWO,
IN THE FORM OF YARD DEBRIS AND OVERGROWTH. 
          THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THE HEARING,
AND PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE PRESENTED AT THE FIRST HEARING OR THE
COMPLIANCE HEARING. YOU CAN SEE THE OVERGROWTH HERE ON THE FIRST SIDE OF GADSDEN. 
          THE MAGISTRATE ORDERED THAT THE RESPONDENT WOULD HAVE FIVE DAYS TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO
COMPLIANCE, OR AN INITIAL FINE OF $400, AND A DAILY FINE OF $100 WOULD BE IMPOSED FOR 25 DAYS OR WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT
INTO COMPLIANCE, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST
REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED, AND UPON ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY BROUGHT BY VIOLATORS. 
          A COPY OF THAT ORDER IS ATTACHED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE
FILE. 
          ON NOVEMBER THE 26TH, A RE INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. 
          THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION. THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FRONT OF 7831 GADSDEN. 
          YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE JUNK IN THE FRONT YARD IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH ALONG THE EDGE OF THE
HOUSE. 
          I WAS TRYING TO GET MY LITTLE PARTNER RIGHT THERE. 
          RIGHT HERE. YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. I'M SORRY. 
          IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN SEE THE PHOTOS TO OR. I DON'T KNOW. 
          ON A TELEPHONE THAT THERE'S ANY WAY TO DO IT. 
          BUT I'M LOOKING AT. SO, YOU KNOW, JENNIFER IS. 
          ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE PROPERTY. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN FROM THE ORIGINAL
HEARINGS FROM EARLY ON, BUT THEY'RE IN YOUR FILE. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW. 
          I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I'M NOT VERY GOOD WITH TECHNOLOGY. 
          I'M USUALLY THE ONE THAT WHEN MY COMPUTER DOESN'T DO WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO,
I CLOSE THAT SUCKER UP AND I CALL IT AND TELL THEM TO COME BRING ME ANOTHER ONE. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT TO YOU ON A TELEPHONE,
BUT BY ALL MEANS, THEY'RE IN YOUR FILE, AND IT'S JUST PICTURES OF WHAT I'M SEEING ARE JUST THE PHOTOS OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE
PROPERTY AND THE ITEMS THAT ARE OUT IN THE YARD AND STUFF. 
          OKAY, THIS IS THE AREA CLOSE TO FIRST AVENUE,
JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE MOBILE HOME. 
          YOU CAN SEE SOME OVERGROWTH AND SOME JUNK STORED THERE,
VERY CLOSE TO THE PRIVACY FENCE. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST AVENUE SIDE. AGAIN. YOU SEE THE OVERGROWTH WITH SOME JUNK. 
          WHAT APPEARS TO BE SOME JUNK ON THE BOAT TRAILER,
I BELIEVE. 
          THIS IS THE ALONG THE TRAILER. THIS IS OKAY. GOT IT. 
          IT WASN'T A BOAT TRAILER, A TRAILER, BUT NOT A BOAT TRAILER. 
          GOT IT? YES, MA'AM. THIS IS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE GADSDEN AVENUE SIDE. 
          JUST A LITTLE BIT OF JUNK. ON THE GADSDEN AVENUE SIDE OF THEIR PROPERTY. 
          ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GADSDEN AVENUE SIDE. 
          EITHER A BURN PIT OR SOMETHING. REMAINING THERE WITH SOME JUNK AND TRASH LOCATED INSIDE OF
IT. 
          BLESS YOU. ON DECEMBER THE 22ND, 2025, ANOTHER INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED. 
          THE PROPERTY REMAINED WAS WAS FOUND TO REMAIN IN VIOLATION AGAIN. 
          THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE MAIN HOUSE. 7830 OR EXCUSE ME,
7831. 
          GASTON. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF JUNK IN THE FRONT YARD. 
          THEY ARE COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN. SO YOU DO SEE SOME COOLERS STORED ABOUT BY THAT BOAT? 
          [01:05:04]
A LITTLE BIT OF JUNK ON THE GADSDEN AVENUE SIDE REMAINING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY IN BETWEEN
THE FENCE AND THE ROAD. 
          A LITTLE BIT OF MORE JUNK ON FURTHER DOWN ON GASTON AVENUE SIDE. 
          THIS IS BACK TOWARD THE FIRST AVENUE SIDE AT THE ACTUAL INTERSECTION OF GADSDEN AND FIRST. 
          YOU SEE SOME OVERGROWTH AND SOME JUNK BEING STORED CLOSE TO THE PRIVACY FENCE ON THE
INSIDE OF THE INSIDE OF THE TREE. 
          AND THEN YOU SEE THE OVERGROWTH HERE WITH THAT TRAILER AND THE ITEM THAT'S ON THE TRAILER. 
          AND SOME OVERGROWTH ON THIS. SLIDE 17. THE OVERGROWTH ON THE IN BETWEEN,
LIKE MINE AND GLENN'S HOUSE. 
          WHO'S TO SAY THAT? WHERE THE WHERE THE TREE FELL DOWN. 
          LIKE WHO? WHOSE IS THAT? YOU KNOW, USUALLY WHAT'S LOOKED AT. 
          SO YOU KNOW AND I'M NOT I DON'T HAVE THE PROPERTY LINES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME TO LOOK
AT, BUT NORMALLY IT'S WHERE THE ROOT OF THE TREE IS. 
          IS IT ON YOUR PROPERTY LINE? IS ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY LINE. 
          THAT'S NORMALLY HOW THE LAW LOOKS AT IT. IS WHERE IS THE ROOT OF THE SOURCE COMING FROM? OKAY. I THINK IT'S IN THE MIDDLE. OKAY. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,
AFTER I SUBMITTED MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT, JENNIFER GODWIN TEXTED ME. SHE HAS A NEW CELL NUMBER. 
          HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. OH,
GOSH. 
          SO. AND SHE TEXTED ME OF THE PROGRESS THAT THEY HAD MADE SINCE MY LAST INSPECTION. 
          MAY I COME SHOW YOU? SURE. PLEASE APPROACH. JENNIFER. 
          WHAT HE'S BRINGING. I'M SORRY. I'M CALLING YOU JENNIFER. 
          MISS GODWIN. HE'S BRINGING ME IS JUST SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE UPDATED PICTURES OF THE
PROPERTY. 
          OKAY. YOU CAN SCROLL. ON DOWN TO THE LEFT. OKAY. 
          IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOME OF THE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE ALONG
THE GADSDEN SIDE. 
          AND LATER ON, SHE SENT AN UPDATED PHOTOGRAPH. 
          OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. AND THERE'S THAT. GOT IT. 
          NOT A BOAT TRAILER, WHATEVER. THAT OTHER THING. 
          THAT'S. IT'S NOT A BOAT TRAILER, BUT IT'S ANOTHER TRAILER THINGY. 
          GOT IT. AND A LARGE COMMERCIAL COOLER ON THE BACK OF IT. 
          OKAY. I CONDUCTED A FORMAL RE-INSPECTION TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A COMPLIANCE. 
          OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT AT THIS TIME? NO. OKAY. MISS GOODWIN, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE PICTURES. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SEEING THE SAME THINGS I GET A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT, BUT I SAW PICTURES FROM ALL THE WAY BACK WHEN THIS BEGAN. 
          AND THEN UPDATED PICTURES THAT WERE JUST TAKEN AND SENT TO MR. JUSTICE YESTERDAY. SO WE'VE GOT SOME UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          TELL ME WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING WITH THE PROPERTY. 
          OKAY. WELL, WE HAVE A 50 BY 150 YARD AND WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF THAT'S TO START. 
          BUT WE USE EVERYTHING IN OUR YARD. IT'S IT USUALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT SEASON IT IS,
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT THERE. 
          LIKE MID-JULY TO NOVEMBER. WE'RE GOING TO SEE BERRIES. 
          BERRY BUSHES AND BERRIES. STALKS BECAUSE WE PICKED PALMETTO BERRIES. 
          WE HAD A BUNCH OF THOSE OUT THERE THIS YEAR THAT WAS PART OF THIS STUFF HERE. 
          BECAUSE WE SHAKE THE BERRIES OFF, WE PUT THE STALKS,
AND THEN WE BURN THE STALKS LATER. 
          BUT I HAD PUT SOME IN THE FIRE PIT AND LIT IT,
AND THEN I REALIZED THERE WAS A BURN BAN, SO I COULDN'T BURN THEM AT THE TIME. 
          SO I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE BURN BAN TO BE LIFTED BEFORE I COULD GO AHEAD AND GET RID OF
THOSE. 
          THEN OCTOBER 1ST YOU HAVE OYSTER SEASON COMING IN,
WHICH MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE OYSTER BASKETS AND THE FLOWERS IN THE YARD, AND IT'S NOT THE SAME EVERY DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE SAME STUFF,
BUT IT'S USED EVERY DAY. 
          IT'S LIKE WE GO OUT, WE COME BACK AND WE HAVE THE SAME STUFF AGAIN. 
          SO IT'S USED EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE JUST LEAVING IT STORED THERE,
BUT LIKE WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE'LL THROW THE OYSTER BASKETS OUT AND THEN TRY TO CLEAN THE BOAT OR WHATEVER,
AND THEN HE GOES OUT AGAIN. 
          BUT THAT'S THE STORY ON OYSTERS. I DID PUT ALL THE COOLERS IN THE LITTLE BOAT IN THE FRONT
YARD, AND WE MOVED ALL THE BIG STUFF TO THE BACK, BEHIND THE FENCE AS MUCH AS WE COULD. 
          THE FOUR WHEELER IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE TIRE FELL OFF. 
          THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THAT. MY SON AND MY HUSBAND ARE AND RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO NO
TRANSPORTATION AT ALL TO GO ANYWHERE, TO TAKE ANYTHING. ANYWHERE OR NOTHING. WE'RE LOOKING FOR A VEHICLE NOW,
ACTUALLY. 
          ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK,
BUT WE ARE FIXING THE THE BMC IN THE FRONT YARD. 
          [01:10:05]
WE HAVE FOUND ANOTHER TRUCK THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE TO FIX THE ONE THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO HE'S GOING TO BE WORKING ON THAT. LIKE HE'S GOING TO GET IT RIGHT NOW TO GO GET IT. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT FIXED AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD SOON. 
          AND THE CAR IS TUCKED IN THE CARPORT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. 
          THAT'S AS FAR AS THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WOULD DO IT. HE WAS A REAL NICE FELLA. 
          SO I FEEL LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE SARCASM IN THERE. 
          NO, MAYBE A LITTLE. OKAY. BUT EVERYTHING AGAINST THE FENCE. 
          ON THE GADSDEN ROAD, WE MOVED, LIKE, THE THE BIG 55 GALLON DRUM. 
          WE PUT THAT ON THE THE BERRY TRAILER. THAT IS BY THE RIGHT BY THE BIG TREE. 
          OKAY. THE FIRE PIT THAT IS THERE. IT WAS LEFT AFTER THE LAST CLEANUP THAT YOU GUYS DID. 
          SO WE DIDN'T MOVE. WE DON'T HAVE THE MEANS OF MOVING IT OTHER THAN SHOVEL ANYWAYS,
AND I'M HALF DISABLED. 
          I CAN'T DO IT ANYWAYS. BUT ALL THIS LEFT OUT THERE NOW HAS BEEN LEFT BY THOSE CLEANING
CREW. 
          ANYWAY, SO I FIGURED THAT SHOULD BE FINE THE WAY IT IS. 
          IT'S STACKED NEATLY AND IT'S NOT LIKE A BIG EYESORE ANYMORE,
BUT. 
          OKAY, WE TRIED TO MAKE IT AS NEAT AS WE CAN. FOR WHAT? STILL BE USING IT. OKAY. YEAH, BECAUSE I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU,
MISS GOODWIN. 
          I'M LOOKING AT THE PICTURES OF EVEN WHEN IT WAS IN THE NOT AS CLEANED UP CONDITION. AND I'LL BE HONEST, UP FRONT, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT IS THERE,
BUT IT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS IT OBVIOUSLY COULD BE. IN OTHER WORDS,
IT'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT I UNDERSTAND. 
          YOU'VE GOT DISABILITY ISSUES, BUT MAYBE THE OTHER PEOPLE CAN GET SOME OF THAT CLEANED UP
FOR YOU OUT OF THAT PROPERTY AREA SO THAT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT IS MORE TIDIED OR PROTECTED AND COVERED SHELTERS. 
          ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE TABLE OR WHERE ARE YOU TALKING? I WAS LOOKING BACK FROM DECEMBER, THE PICTURES OF THE FRONT OF THE LIVING. 
          THAT'S WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF COOLERS OUT THERE IN THE TABLE,
IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          YEAH, THERE WERE COOLERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A TRAILER OF SORTS WITH STUFF STACKED ON
TOP OF IT. 
          SOME OTHER LITTLE. I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT THE LITTLE ORANGE AND YELLOW BEANBAG LOOKING
THINGS MAY HAVE BEEN THAT WERE KIND OF SCATTERED AROUND. 
          SO THERE MAY BE A LOT OF ORGANIZATION OR THAT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE,
THOUGH, IS IT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S THE WORD, BUT MYSTIFYING. 
          DON'T LET IT LOOK SO MESSY KIND OF THING THAT MAY HELP WITH SOME OF THE ISSUE. 
          HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO CODE ENFORCEMENT,
OR LOOK AT ANY OF THE PHOTOS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, OR WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MOVE SOME OF THE STUFF AROUND SO IT DOESN'T APPEAR LIKE THERE'S A
PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          WELL, I'VE TALKED TO TIM A LOT, BUT HE SAID PUT EVERYTHING THAT I COULD BEHIND THE FENCE
AND WE DID. 
          WE EVEN MOVED THE BATHTUB THAT WAS OVER BY THE LITTLE GARDEN CENTER. 
          I HAVE A LITTLE GARDEN STAND AND I HAD A BATHTUB IN FRONT OF IT. 
          WE PUT IT BEHIND THE FENCE AND WE HAVE A TREE STAND THAT'S RIGHT BY THE SECOND TREE THAT
GOES TO THE SIDE YARD. 
          OKAY. THERE'S THE YELLOW BOAT IS UP FRONT. WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PARK THE STUFF. 
          OKAY? I DON'T WANT A BOAT IN MY FRONT YARD, BUT WHERE ELSE AM I GOING TO PUT IT? OKAY, WE'RE ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT MAYBE SELLING THE YELLOW BOAT. I DON'T KNOW,
BUT RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY. ANY OTHER INFO YOU NEED TO GIVE ME BEFORE I FIND OUT FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT WHAT
THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS ON THE PROPERTY? OKAY. LET'S SEE. SO I HAVE OUT FRONT RIGHT NOW I HAVE THE THE BLACK OUTDOOR METAL TABLE
AND IT'S GOT OYSTER SHELLS ON TOP BECAUSE I DO OYSTER SHELLS CRAFTS. SO I HAVE TO CLEAN THEM AND LET THEM DRY. 
          AND THEN I PAINT THEM AND DO ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. SO I MAKE WIND CHIMES AND ALL KINDS OF
STUFF WITH THEM. SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE OYSTER SHELLS ON THAT TABLE, AND I HAVE A STAINLESS, TWO TIER STAINLESS TABLE,
AND HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THE WEED EATER THERE. 
          HE'S TRYING TO GET THE WEED EATER FIXED SO HE COULD,
LIKE, WEED, EAT SOME OF THE STUFF, BUT I PULLED UP A LOT OF IT BY HAND. 
          SEEING. WE'VE GOT THE TRAILER. THE BURIED TRAILER IS NEATLY STACKED. 
          IT HAS, LIKE, THE VAT FOR THE BERRIES ON IT AND THE 55 GALLON DRUM ON THE BACK,
BUT IT'S IT'S ALL TOGETHER. 
          [01:15:02]
AND I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PICTURES THAT I SENT HIM. 
          BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO OYSTER BASKETS AROUND. 
          THEY'VE HAD THE BAY CLOSED FOR SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH FOR RED TIDE,
SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK AT ALL. 
          OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT, LET ME SEE WHAT CODE ENFORCEMENT TELLS ME AS FAR AS WHAT THEY NEED TO
HAVE CLARIFIED AND FIXED UP ON THE PROPERTY. AND BEFORE I MAKE A DECISION. 
          OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE THE WAY I THINK NOW,
I THINK IS PRETTY MUCH IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT HE HAS TOLD ME TO TAKE CARE OF. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WHAT I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND,
SINCE WE HAVE PHOTOS THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO INCLUDE, THAT APPEARS THAT THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS. 
          AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE IT'S ORGANIZED AND JUST NEEDS SOME SCREENING. 
          I, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S MY THOUGHT IS ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT THAT SHE CAN'T SEE THESE
PHOTOS. 
          LET MR. JUSTICE GET WITH HER AND JUST CONTINUE THIS UNTIL YOUR NEXT COMPLIANCE HEARING,
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE ONCE THEY GET TOGETHER, THE THE SCREENING OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND STUFF WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. 
          I LOVE WHEN WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE THAT WAS EXACTLY WHERE MY BRAIN WAS GOING. 
          SO, MISS GOODWIN. WHAT WE'RE THINKING AND WHAT WAS POPPING OUT OF MY HEAD WAS MAYBE
THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH PROGRESS MADE SO FAR, MAYBE JUST BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE PICTURES,
TALK WITH MR. JUSTICE WHILE YOU'VE GOT THE PICTURES RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU,
HELPS FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE NEED TO JUST SCREEN WHAT NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED, WHAT NEEDS TO BE PUT WHERE AND SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL CONDITION IS RIGHT NOW. 
          BECAUSE IT MAY BE THAT A LOT OF THIS STUFF HAS BEEN MOVED OR CHANGED AROUND IN A WAY THAT
IT'S NOT AN ISSUE. 
          OKAY. OKAY. SO MY NEXT TIME THAT I HAVE A HEARING WOULD BE FEBRUARY 3RD. 
          SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS PUT THIS ON HOLD BASICALLY,
AND THEN COME BACK TO JUST GIVE ME AN UPDATE OR FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO ON THAT FEBRUARY 13TH HEARING TIMEFRAME. 
          OKAY. OKAY, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WHAT I ALWAYS RECOMMEND,
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP ALREADY WITH MR. JUSTICE. STAY IN TOUCH WITH HIM. FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET
THIS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE HEARING DATE. 
          OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. MAGISTRATE. YES, MA'AM. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT? 9 A.M. OR 1 P.M.. I AM INDIFFERENT EITHER WAY. 
          TELL ME WHAT WORKS BETTER ON THE SCHEDULE FOR YOU GUYS. 
          LET'S DO 1:00 SINCE WE HAVE LESS ON THE SCHEDULE IN THE AFTERNOON. 
          SO IF YOU AND MR. JUSTICE AREN'T ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING FIXED UP,
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO ME ON FEBRUARY 13TH AT 1:00 AND LET ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT, OKAY? OKAY. 
          SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS GODWIN. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD DAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. 
          BYE BYE. BYE BYE BYE. MAYBE. MAYBE NOT. I JUST PUSH BUTTONS. I'M TELLING YOU, I'M NOT THE TECHNOLOGY FAN OVER HERE. 
          SO. ALL RIGHT. THE ONLY ONE WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT ON THE AGENDA WOULD BE THE LETTER C. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE 2025 0468. 
          PROPERTY ADDRESS 1139 FIFTH STREET. I THINK I'VE GOT IT RIGHT. 
          YOU DID? THANK YOU. PERFECT. GOOD AFTERNOON. YOU,
MAGISTRATE TIM JUSTICE, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          THIS IS A FINAL HEARING TO IMPOSE A LIEN FOR THE COST OF THE ABATEMENT AND THE FINES FOR
NONCOMPLIANCE. 
          I HAVE SUBMITTED MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT FOR THE RECORD. MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND NOTICES ARE
ALSO ATTACHED. 
          A COMPLIANCE HEARING WAS HEARD BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON JULY THE 17TH,
2025. 
          THE MAGISTRATE FOUND THE RESPONDENT HAD FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE FIRST ORDER HELD ON JUNE
THE 12TH, 2025. THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THE HEARING. 
          PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY ARE INCLUDED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT A AND CONTAINED IN THE
CASE FILE. 
          AND THIS IS ON SLIDE THREE. THIS IS BASICALLY LOOKING BACK AT 1139 FIFTH STREET. 
          AT THE TIME OF THE HEARING, THERE WAS A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORED ON A VACANT LOT WITH A
BUNCH OF JUNK. 
          YOU COULD SEE THE JUNK IN THE RIGHT OF WAY IN PHOTOGRAPH SIX. 
          THE MAGISTRATE DIRECTED THE STAFF TO ABATE THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF
ENFORCEMENT TO CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED, AND UPON ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY ON FILE OWNED BY THE VIOLATORS. 
          THE MAGISTRATE WILL ADDRESS THE FINES AND COSTS AT THE FINAL HEARING,
AND A COPY OF THIS ORDER IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B ON THE 17TH OF JULY 
          [01:20:08]
2025, A NOTICE OF INTENT WAS SENT, CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER,
STATING THAT WORK WOULD BEGIN ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER THE 8TH, 2025. 
          ON THE 27TH OF AUGUST 2025. A PRE-BID INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. 
          THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE PRE-BID LOOKING BACK AT 1139 FIFTH STREET. 
          YOU HAD SOME ITEMS ON A TRAILER THAT SOMEBODY WAS TRYING TO REMOVE. 
          THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE HAD BEEN REMOVED, BUT THERE WERE STILL A LOT OF JUNK AND TRASH
STREWN ABOUT THE PROPERTY. 
          AND A WASHING MACHINE HAD GOTTEN AT IT AT SOME POINT DURING MY LAST INSPECTION IN PRE-BID. 
          THE PROPERTY WAS CLEANED BY A COMPANY CONTRACTED BY THE COUNTY AT THE COST OF $1,162.60. 
          UPON INSPECTION ON THE 15TH OF OCTOBER, THE PROPERTY WAS FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE,
AND THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE PROPERTY AS IT SITS TODAY. 
          ON OCTOBER THE 17TH, THE NOTICE OF FINAL HEARING WAS SENT CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO
THE PROPERTY OWNER USING THE ADDRESS. 
          11734 JASMINE STREET FOUNTAIN, FLORIDA. ACCORDING TO THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S
DATABASE, THE CERTIFIED NOTICE WAS DELIVERED TO THE RESPONDENT ON THE 24TH OF OCTOBER. 
          THE REGULAR MAIL NOTICE IS NOT RETURNED AS OF THIS DATE. 
          DECEMBER THE 17TH, 2025. A COPY OF THE NOTICE IS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY. 
          DECEMBER THE 18TH, 2025 A COPY OF THE NOTICE WAS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT
CENTER. 
          THAT CONCLUDES MY TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME. IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY
IN QUESTION? WHILE NO ONE IS PRESENT TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION,
PROPER NOTICE OF TODAY'S HEARING WAS PROVIDED. 
          THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT HAVE A RECOMMENDATION WITH REGARD TO THIS PROPERTY. 
          YES, MA'AM. IT IS CODE ENFORCEMENT'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE MAGISTRATE DETERMINE ONE. 
          THE RESPONDENT IS ORDERED TO PAY THE COST OF ABATING THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS
OF ENFORCEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,162.60 PLUS STATUTORY INTEREST. 
          TWO THE MAGISTRATE IMPOSED THE FINE OF $1,550 PLUS STATUTORY INTEREST,
AND THREE THAT UPON RECORDING OF THIS FINAL ORDER IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BAY COUNTY, FLORIDA, THE COST LEVIED AGAINST THE RESPONDENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND
ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXIST, AND AGAINST ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENTS. 
          THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY ASSESS THE COST OF ABATING THE VIOLATION AGAINST THE
PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT ACT AND CHAPTER 21 OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE. 
          THIS CONCLUDES OUR RECOMMENDATION. ALL RIGHT. 
          PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT. I VIEWED PHOTOS ON OCTOBER 15TH,
2025, FINDING THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITED VIOLATIONS. 
          AT THIS TIME, I'LL ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF CODE ENFORCEMENT WITH REGARD TO THIS
PROPERTY. 
          THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S HEARING ON CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          CASE 20250468 PROPERTY 1139 FIFTH STREET. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I'VE MISSED ON THE AGENDA? NO. ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT YOU NEED? YES. IN REFERENCE TO THE HEARINGS THIS MORNING. 
          WE HAD A PROPERTY THAT WITH THE FRAUDULENT. YES SALE. 
          WE DID DO A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH. AND. IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROPERTY. 
          YES, WAS HE ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED IT, AND THAT'S HE'S BEEN CONVICTED ON IT,
I BELIEVE. 
          BUT THIS, MR. BRACKEN, WHAT HE DID IS HE HE DID A DEED AGREEMENT. 
          AGREEMENT FOR DEED. OKAY, SO WITH MISS SUNDAY AND SAYING THAT SHE HE WOULD RELEASE THE
DEED WHEN SHE PAID THE $23,000 AND A LEASE TO OWN TYPE. 
          RIGHT. HE TOOK THAT. AND THE PROPERTY APPRAISER THEN MADE HER THE PROPERTY OWNER. 
          OKAY. AND WITH A WITH A DEED AGREEMENT AND NOT A DEED. 
          SO SHE HASN'T NECESSARILY COMPLETED PAYMENT,
SO HE HASN'T RELEASED THE DEED COMPLETELY TO HER. 
          RIGHT. SO MY THOUGHT IS, IS THAT WE NEED WE NEED TO NOTICE,
NOT MR. BRACKEN, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW HE WAS HE FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED THE PROPERTY,
BUT THE PERSON THAT HE FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED IT FROM, WHICH IS BRIAN MCMAHON. WAS IT BRIAN MCMAHON OWNED THE PROPERTY? AND KEVIN BRACKETT BASICALLY STOLE THAT PROPERTY BY FORGING THE DEED. 
          GOT IT IN HIS NAME. THAT'S HOW HE GOT HIS NAME. 
          [01:25:02]
AND THEN WHAT HE DID WAS THIS. AGREEMENT FOR DEED,
WHICH APPARENTLY WE RAN INTO THIS WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BECAUSE HE DID THIS ON ANOTHER PROPERTY AND HE KIND OF SHOWED UP IN OUR LOBBY AND SAYS,
YOU NEVER NOTIFIED ME ON PROPERTY OWNER. 
          AND WE SAID, WELL, THE PROPERTY THE PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS SO AND SO RIGHT. 
          AND BASICALLY SO AND SO WASN'T THE PROPERTY OWNER BECAUSE IT WAS A AN AGREEMENT FOR DEED. 
          AND THE PROPERTY APPRAISER SAYS, WELL, NO, SHE DOESN'T REALLY OWN IT,
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SAYING SHE OWNS IT. 
          SHE DOESN'T OWN IT. HE DOES. AND WE SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED HIM. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT I AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE THEY THAT'S HOW THEY LIST THE PROPERTY AND THE
PROPERTY APPRAISER AS THAT PERSON BEING THE OWNER AND NOT. 
          BUT YEAH. LONG STORY SHORT, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS. 
          HE'S DONE WITH THIS. HE'S DONE THIS WITH SEVERAL PROPERTIES. 
          YEAH. WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR DEED. I DON'T KNOW IF BEVERLY. 
          THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE, I CERTAINLY WOULD TALK TO THE COUNTY'S LEGAL COUNSEL AND
SEE WHAT THEY RECOMMEND. 
          BUT I WOULD SAY OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION,
MAYBE YOU NEED TO CITE EACH ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE MY ONLY CONCERN IS SHE HAS NO CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FIRST PERSON. 
          HER CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP THAT GIVES HER SOME OWNERSHIP IS WITH THE ONE WHO
FRAUDULENTLY GOT THE PROPERTY IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF IT. 
          SO HE'S GOT A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OF THEM,
BUT SHE TECHNICALLY DOESN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A OVER HERE, THE FIRST ONE WHO OWNED THE PROPERTY ORIGINALLY,
SO I DON'T KNOW. 
          OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, IF SEE, I WOULD JUST CITE ALL OF THEM OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE
OF CAUTION. 
          OBVIOUSLY, IF ONE HAPPENS TO BE IN JAIL AND ISN'T THERE BECAUSE THEY'VE PREVIOUSLY DONE
THIS. 
          THEY STILL HAVE. I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING A TELEPHONE CALL FROM THE JAILHOUSE WHEN
WE HAVE A HEARING OR NOTIFYING HIM, BUT I CERTAINLY THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THERE'S NO CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP. 
          IF YOU HAVE A, B AND MRS SUNDAY A C, SHE DOESN'T HAVE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A CONTRACTUAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH A AT ALL. 
          SO IF YOU ONLY NOTIFY A AND C THEN B GETS LEFT OUT OF THE MIX. 
          SO OKAY SO NOTIFY IF I WOULD NOTIFY ALL THREE JUST OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, EVEN IF IT'S JUST VIA TELEPHONE OR REGULAR MAIL OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT, TO AT LEAST GET SOME COMMUNICATION STARTED AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND IS ONE THING
WHAT REALLY MAY HAVE GONE ON IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU MAY FIND OUT, IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS SHOWING. 
          SO I THINK WE HAVE TIME TO NOTICE EVERYONE. FOR IF WE DO RIGHT THE NEXT HEARING WE
CONTINUED UNTIL THE 13TH. 
          WE CONTINUE UNTIL FEBRUARY 13TH. BUT I THINK YEAH,
RIGHT. 
          YEAH. YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER INFO TODAY. WELL,
WE HAD HER INFO. 
          IT'S JUST THE OTHER. THE OTHER TWO WE CAN FIND OUT WHERE MR. BRACKEN, WHAT PRISON HE'S IN. BUT THE QUESTION WOULD BE THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL. 
          YEAH, I CAN SEE IF HE'S STILL INCARCERATED. THEN WE HAVE TO FIND BRIAN OR BRIAN
INCARCERATED TO. 
          GREAT QUESTION. WELL, LOOK, IF FOR SOME REASON EVERYBODY CAN'T BE NOTICED BY THE FEBRUARY
13TH DATE AND YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE MOVING IT FORWARD WOULD BE IDEAL AT THAT POINT IN TIME. 
          DON'T HESITATE. JUST GIVE ME AN UPDATE AND SAY,
HEY, WE'RE TRYING TO GET GOOD SERVICE ON ALL OF THEM. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IT ON HOLD UNTIL MARCH,
OR JUST UPDATE ME ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY. 
          I KNOW THAT SHE'S GOT HER HANDS TIED WITH OWNERSHIP INTERESTS,
SO. 
          OKAY. LET ME APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF YOU FOR LOSING MY PATIENCE BEFORE I TRY REALLY HARD TO
KEEP MY PATIENCE. 
          BUT I DO RECOGNIZE THAT THE POOR RECORDING DEVICE CAN ONLY GET ONE OF OUR VOICES. 
          AND I'VE TRIED REALLY HARD TO BE CLEAR AND CONCISE AND UNDERSTOOD. 
          BUT WHEN SOMEBODY IS TALKING OVER ME CONSTANTLY AND I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T MAKE ANY IMPACT ON
THEM AT ALL, IT GETS FRUSTRATING, SO I APOLOGIZE. ALL RIGHT,
I WILL GO AHEAD AND CALL TODAY'S MEETING TO CLOSE AT TWO 2002 31.
