A True Story of Corporate Overreach, Police Abuse of Power, and Modern TechnologyBy Luis G. Vazquez
Length3h 32m
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.”
