Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism. There are actually that many words as subtitles in the video, I didn't leave out the hearing impaired. And a few hundred words are not necessary when six words at the top of the screen pretty much make it clear to most people. Maybe is not big enough, will consider making it bigger.
Just so you know, captions don't appear to be enabled for your video.

#12Why would a prosecutor risk his own career and jail time to forge documents?
But ya, scummy behavior.

Good catch, thanks! Fixing (or trying to fix) that now.
Re: How ^NOT to Forge a Search Warrant
#14Interesting title, useless content. Video seems to be just a collection of document screenshots. Faking search warrants is a serious issue, but the compiler of this collection would have a lot more impact by adding a few hundred words to explain the point of the site instead of leaving it as a puzzle for the reader. Is this an attack on bad prosecutors in general? Is the website author the victim of prosecutorial har…

#15In case anyone else is confused, apparently this comes from a defendant in a wire fraud case, [name redacted], as per the gofundme page [0] The case apparently found the couple guilty and charges were held against them, and I believe some jail time also [1] [2]. My post's purpose isn't to affirm or deny the claim in the video, but to add the context I was missing for when the video got to the end and changed its tone…

Standard 3-1.2 Functions and Duties of the Prosecutor
>(b) The primary duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice within the bounds of the law, not merely to convict. The prosecutor serves the public interest and should act with integrity and balanced judgment to increase public safety both by pursuing appropriate criminal charges of appropriate severity, and by exercising discretion to not pursue criminal charges in appropriate circumstances. The prosecutor should seek to protect the innocent and convict the guilty, consider the interests of victims and witnesses, and respect the constitutional and legal rights of all persons, including suspects and defendants.
I get that everyone laughs at normative standards nowadays, and the concept of 'civic duty' is apparently dying out, but there's your standard right there. If you're forging warrants, you are abdicating the responsibilities of your station.

Thanks for the context. Was the GoFundMe campaign accessible when you linked it? I caught your comment at "3 minutes ago" and it can no longer be found. Edit: Link was fixed!
And interesting, yes, the gofundme was live when I watched the video on the site (link is on the site).
I think it's just maybe how GoFundMe handle's the links?
Works as normal I suppose for you.

Guess I'll have to make one minor change in iMovie and re-upload 2GB. I hope they don't pull this again.
Re: How ^NOT to Forge a Search Warrant
#19This whole thing seems like a guilty person using accusations of prosecutorial misconduct to distract from their hopeless position in an FBI case.

In the meantime you'll get reelected again and again for being 'tough on crime'.
The incentives are misaligned for an optimal outcome.
