A traffic stop over a Star Wars Lego set worth two hundred thousand dollars. By the time it was over, it had become a multi-day saga involving two arrests, a dislocated shoulder claim, a defamation lawsuit, and a police department publishing twenty-six minutes of public statement just to keep up. Benjamin Schneider — known online as Reckless Ben — was making videos about a dispute between a customer and a Bricks & Minifigs franchise when he was pulled over by American Fork Police on March 8, 2026. What followed was a second stop two days later, a search warrant executed on the home where he was staying, a three-hour police interview, and charges including stalking and targeted residential picketing. Weeks later, the department released body camera footage of the interactions. Days after that, unredacted footage reportedly leaked online. Bricks & Minifigs filed a civil lawsuit accusing Schneider of harassment and extortion. Schneider published a frame-by-frame rebuttal that hit 1.8 million views in a single day. This is the full body-worn camera footage from both traffic stops, the search, the arrest, the picketing, and the interview — pulled directly from the official release and the material that circulated afterward. ⚠️ Benjamin Schneider is presumed innocent of any charges not yet resolved in a court of law. Schneider has publicly accused officers of misconduct and excessive force; the department disputes his account. Bricks & Minifigs has filed a civil lawsuit against Schneider alleging defamation, harassment, and extortion. All claims in this video are presented as claims made by the parties involved, not as established fact. 📁 Chapters: 0:00 – Cold open 0:22 – Disclaimer 0:54 – Who Is Reckless Ben 1:23 – The First Stop 2:57 – The Search 4:31 – The Second Stop 6:01 – The Warrant 6:23 – The Arrest 8:27 – The Picketing 9:31 – The Interview Room 11:31 – Booking 11:51 – The Release 12:08 – The Leak 12:28 – The Lawsuit 12:41 – The Rebuttal 12:58 – What Happened Next 13:28 – Outro 🎥 Footage: American Fork Police Department, officially released and subsequently circulated online.
