About this audiobook

On December 19th, 2020, at 7:00 AM, Gabe set up his booth for a typical Saturday at the largest flea market in Polk County, Florida. By 9:00 AM, his life shifted from private citizen to internet infamy as sheriff’s agents stormed his booth with search and arrest warrants. In this memoir, he recounts a felony arrest for reselling alleged jailbroken streaming devices, sparking a media frenzy and a potential five-year sentence, with police presuming guilt before a judge. He details a three-month law enforcement operation, the raid, and what happens to a human being under that amount of confusion and pressure. Over six months, billion-dollar influencers behind the raids are exposed, a first-of-its-kind Firestick task force is dissected, and a jury pool is tainted by high-ranking officials. This narrative impacts streamers, those upholding constitutional protections and ownership rights, revealing how mega-powerful institutions instill fear in “common folk.”

Luis is a self-published author who shares a one-of-a-kind story in Jailbroken: A True Story of Corporate Overreach, Police Abuse of Power, and Modern Technology, a nonfiction retelling of a life-altering experience. Inappropriately charged with a 3rd-degree felony and thrust into internet infamy, Luis reveals what took place, based on research vs. semantics. He offers insights into the events before, during, and after the encounter with the ugly side of the justice system. Luis lives in Central Florida, where he and his wife, Maria, raise their two boys. His commitments away from his immediate family include advocating for everyday Americans to educate themselves on their constitutional rights, their right to repair, and their right to own, and ensuring that the “little guy,” no matter how insignificant he may feel, knows that they CAN make their voices heard, regardless of the influence and power of their detractors.View all by Luis G.
