00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
anybody ever get justice if the system is constantly broken and not enforcing the state

00:06.000 --> 00:07.000
laws?

00:07.000 --> 00:14.000
So, I think that there is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the laws and how the laws

00:14.000 --> 00:19.000
are interpreted and how the courts have interpreted the laws.

00:19.000 --> 00:21.000
I know it can be frustrating.

00:21.000 --> 00:22.000
Well, it's not frustrating.

00:22.000 --> 00:23.000
Hold on.

00:23.000 --> 00:24.000
Hold on.

00:24.000 --> 00:26.000
This has been going on for 14 years and involves five children.

00:26.000 --> 00:28.000
I'm just down to my last child.

00:28.000 --> 00:34.000
The advice that I'm going off of is based on the judge, Judge Arnold, in Williamson County,

00:34.000 --> 00:38.000
said that I need to get this information if I want to come back.

00:38.000 --> 00:41.000
So, that's coming from a...

00:41.000 --> 00:45.000
He's a district court judge down in Williamson County.

00:45.000 --> 00:47.000
Court number three.

00:51.000 --> 00:53.000
It is.

00:55.000 --> 00:57.000
I get that.

00:57.000 --> 01:03.000
And he said that if I wanted to have it escalated, that I need to reference Texas Penal Code

01:03.000 --> 01:06.000
25.03 in the reports.

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
And you don't have to follow up.

01:08.000 --> 01:11.000
If you guys choose not to enforce the law, that's your choice.

01:11.000 --> 01:16.000
I'm just asking that you make a note that I brought it up to your attention and you

01:16.000 --> 01:18.000
include it in the report.

01:27.000 --> 01:33.000
Because I'm going to write this as an FDR and I'm not going to write it as a criminal

01:33.000 --> 01:39.000
report under the penal code you are referencing because that law is used for non-custodial

01:39.000 --> 01:40.000
issues.

01:40.000 --> 01:45.000
You both, you and your ex, both have custody over your child.

01:45.000 --> 01:50.000
If it was a non-custodial parent that was interfering with child custody, it would be

01:50.000 --> 01:52.000
a completely different story.

01:52.000 --> 01:53.000
Okay.

01:53.000 --> 01:56.000
So, if I informed you that my ex-wife is out of town and that she's currently at the house

01:56.000 --> 02:00.000
with my ex-wife's new husband, is it a criminal against him?

02:01.000 --> 02:02.000
Of course.

02:02.000 --> 02:03.000
Okay.

02:06.000 --> 02:08.000
I'm not frustrated at all.

02:08.000 --> 02:11.000
I'm getting conflicting information.

02:11.000 --> 02:16.000
One of them is in a courtroom and the second one is sitting on the side of the highway

02:16.000 --> 02:19.000
on Texas 31 talking to somebody on the phone.

02:19.000 --> 02:22.000
So, you have to understand from my point of view the professionalism and the difference

02:22.000 --> 02:24.000
between the two sources.

02:24.000 --> 02:28.000
I'm kind of going with the judge that's been handling the case for the last five years.

02:28.000 --> 02:29.000
Yes, sir.

02:29.000 --> 02:30.000
I understand.

02:30.000 --> 02:34.000
I've taken countless of these reports and you're not the first person.

02:34.000 --> 02:35.000
Oh, I know.

02:35.000 --> 02:37.000
I know all the statistics in Smith County.

02:37.000 --> 02:40.000
Can I get your full name and your badge number just so I know who I'm talking to?

02:40.000 --> 02:41.000
Yes, sir.

02:41.000 --> 02:43.000
It's Officer Drossman 440.

02:43.000 --> 02:44.000
It will be in the report.

02:44.000 --> 02:45.000
Okay.

02:45.000 --> 02:50.000
And just for full transparency, all my calls are recorded so this conversation is recorded,

02:50.000 --> 02:51.000
okay?

02:51.000 --> 02:52.000
Yes, sir.

02:52.000 --> 02:53.000
It is recorded on my body cam.

02:53.000 --> 02:54.000
Awesome.

02:54.000 --> 02:57.000
When can I get the report?

02:57.000 --> 03:00.000
I will have it submitted tonight.

03:00.000 --> 03:05.000
It won't go through our records until Monday so I would try maybe Tuesday.

03:05.000 --> 03:06.000
Okay.

03:06.000 --> 03:10.000
And then second question, your records department, I need to come up and get new copies.

03:10.000 --> 03:14.000
We've got a hearing set for the 22nd and I need to get a copy of every report.

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
You said you only see one from last year.

03:18.000 --> 03:23.000
That's just the one when I clicked on call history or when I typed in your name.

03:23.000 --> 03:24.000
That's just what popped up.

03:24.000 --> 03:26.000
So I don't know.

03:26.000 --> 03:28.000
It looks super deep into it.

03:28.000 --> 03:31.000
That's just what popped up when I typed in your name.

03:31.000 --> 03:32.000
Okay.

03:32.000 --> 03:35.000
And then I guess one other general procedural thing.

03:35.000 --> 03:38.000
It seems like you guys, did the jurisdiction line change?

03:38.000 --> 03:41.000
Because it seems like at one point in time the PD didn't talk to me.

03:41.000 --> 03:46.000
They made me go to the sheriffs and then the sheriff sent me to the constable.

03:46.000 --> 03:54.000
I've had constable, sheriffs, and PD for various cases over the last probably two years now.

03:54.000 --> 03:59.000
It depends on where the originating call is put in at.

03:59.000 --> 04:04.000
So this call was put in based off of the school's address.

04:04.000 --> 04:07.000
Yeah, they've all been the school address.

04:08.000 --> 04:13.000
Last year I also took the same call for the same address.

04:13.000 --> 04:16.000
So I don't know why it would have been sent elsewhere.

04:16.000 --> 04:22.000
But I can't definitively say why it would have gone to a different person or another.

04:38.000 --> 04:41.000
You'd have to go to each separate location.

04:55.000 --> 04:59.000
My report will be. I don't know how long things take to get your record.

04:59.000 --> 05:02.000
But literally it's only a couple days.

05:07.000 --> 05:10.000
I'm sure you deal with a lot of hotheads and stuff.

05:10.000 --> 05:13.000
I'm fine, I'm just getting conflicting information.

05:22.000 --> 05:24.000
You want to hear something crazy?

05:24.000 --> 05:29.000
So when we got our divorce I had custody of all my kids, including my stepkids.

05:29.000 --> 05:31.000
That's how ugly it was.

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
Got all the way down to the last kid.

05:33.000 --> 05:38.000
I think I was domestic violence and they moved my kid under temporary orders.

05:38.000 --> 05:44.000
My child is now at risk of even graduating high school in less than three years.

05:44.000 --> 05:49.000
But she was full straight A's and gifted and talented classes until all this shit happened.

05:49.000 --> 05:55.000
And then now it's like every time my ex gets mad or needs money, somehow my daughter's pissed at me.

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000
It's just sad.

06:03.000 --> 06:08.000
It became very apparent to me which parent was sincere and which wasn't.

06:08.000 --> 06:11.000
I truly believe she will understand.

06:33.000 --> 06:36.000
My stock options are now worth about $23 million.

06:36.000 --> 06:43.000
And so she's trying to pay me as a violent person and taking custody of the kids so she can get a piece of it.

06:43.000 --> 06:46.000
But life goes on.

06:50.000 --> 06:56.000
Now just make sure the report is exhaustive as much as you can so that I have evidence whenever I go to court.

06:56.000 --> 06:59.000
I appreciate you and good luck.

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
You too. Bye.
