If you happened to see Rick Sanchez's biased and fabricated broadcast of this encounter, you should know that he left out very important facts in order to slant the story to his opinion and publicly smear me. His producer, Janelle Griffin, was also very upset that I decided to not do the show. and started screaming at me over the phone, threatening to make me look terrible, which Rick succeeded at doing by severely cutting the footage. But let's not forget that this is the same Rick Sanchez that struck a man with his vehicle in 1990, and like a spineless coward, left the scene. Rick's hit and run victim later died from injuries that were caused by the accident. According to Sanchez's attorney, the alcohol in Sanchez's system at the time of the accident was due to Sanchez going home to calm his nerves with a couple of drinks. Sure Rick.

Important facts that Rick Sanchez left out of his Bias Broadcast:

-Gylfie lied by stating MTA has a policy against photography. Photography is allowed on the Metro.
-Gylfie threatened to submit my name to the TLO.
-Gylfie threatened to disrupt the rest of my life by submitting my name to the FBI's "hit list".
-Gylfie made inaccurate claims that the London bombings were planted and that the terrorists took photos beforehand. None of which is true. The attack was conducted by suicide bombers, bombs weren't planted, and the attackers only did a trial run--which did not include taking photos.
-Gylfie did not just do a physical pat down, but went into my pocket and emptied the contents on the ground, violating Terry Stop procedures.

Sanchez also renamed Officer Bayes "unidentified man", and questioned if I ever heard of the London and Madrid bombings.

Yes, I have Rick. Neither attack was carried out by using cameras. However, cell phones and bags/ruck sacks were used. So why aren't those items being criminalized?

Stupid idiot cop keep taking your orders like a bitch. You can't detain someone for taking legal photos you idiot. It's not a crime therefore you have no suspicion of a crime. I hope u sued and got paid because this was clear infringements of your rights not to mention. Multiple threats from the officer.

Public records show that Deputy Gylfie kept spending his mommys money. Now she's being sued by Capital One

[fratdawgg23]

Well, to be fair, if Ofcr Gylfie would make some anti-terrorist videos, then The Terrorists would watch them and think, "The American Devils are too pitiful and stupid to bother with. Also, they don't have camel races here so I'm going home."

Terrorism solved.

Order his sarge out to the scene, make it difficult for him. Say no questions, you never relent on your right to remain silent when and where you deem necessary. Ask him his badge number, make him ante up what he has to do. Dial 911 on your phone if you can, state officer misconduct, etc., if you do. Don't honor his questions with answers, you do not have to prove anything to him. His threat to put you on a hit list is, by itself, grounds for complaint. That was unprofessional & unbecoming. BULL

[Alan Swinney]

oh and how much did that xray camera cost you? you know.. the one that tells you how thick the walls are. It must have cost a small fortune.

[Alan Swinney]

This cop is so ignorant of the law, that it's really not even funny..  What a douche bag. This video has over 100,000 views too so I know that this cop looks at these comments regularly. Hey mr. douche bag... You are a horrible police officer. You should really brush up on the law before you try to enforce it. Dumb ass...
