A cash strapped Jose “Chille” DeCastro pleaded with his audience on Thursday to help him financially by buying his products using a promo code as he said he was struggling with costs related to his nine active lawsuits and was preparing to file at least one more lawsuit against the State of California “by Tuesday” of next week.
DeCastro announced a discount code for his website, offering a 25% discount off of all his products, as he desperately needed help raising at least $500.00 to serve “five police officers” and then needed more money to file his lawsuit against the State of California.
The inventor of the Jock Sock is threatening to sue California over a ticket he received “five or six months ago” for using his cell phone while driving. He has repeatedly said that he would not accept the ticket as he received it for looking at a map while he was driving.
While not claiming to be handicapped, he has previously explained that he simply cannot see the map on his phone when the phone is tethered to his dashboard. He needs to have the phone in front of his face to read the screen, and he sees no danger of driving while holding his phone.
DeCastro also has made it clear that he feels that his minivan, an older model Honda Odyssey, has “self-driving” features that allow him to take his eyes off the road in traffic in order to interact with his chat while livestreaming from his car.
The diminutive YouTuber has famously livestreamed while driving over the years, as he claims it helps him focus during longer trips. He often has to put on his glasses, which makes it harder to see the road, while reading and reacting to posts in the side chat of his streams.
DeCastro has had at lead one ticket for using his phone while driving overturned after challenging it in court. While the circumstances surrounding his latest ticket are unclear, he has stated that he does not believe in most traffic laws and has spoken out against any punishment for driving while impaired offenses.
On his latest livestream, DeCastro criticized police for arresting a 15-year-old boy for illegally evading police while riding an electronic motorcycle. California’s current age to legally drive is 16 years old, and the boy routinely performed stunts while riding the motorcycle and hiding from police in easily accessible storm drains.
DeCastro appealed to his fans to use common sense as the boy was clearly wearing a helmet and that when he was a child, helmets were not required and he did more dangerous things on motorcycles without suffering legal problems or physical harm.
The failed Power Ranger has also announced that he would one day run for Governor of an unnamed state and would significantly transform all driving related laws. He reaffirmed his position on marijuana usage on Thursday, again claiming that believed it could not impair a driver on the level of alcohol, and pledged complete legalization of the drug when he gained office.
DeCastro’s funding had been limited for most of the month of May as his main YouTube channel received a second content strike and was suspended for two weeks after a video was flagged for containing nudity or sexual content.
The YouTuber then received a direct hate speech warning on Monday for making racially charged comments about Jewish people on his channel. As a result of the warning, which said his channel would be terminated if it was flagged for hate speech a second time, DeCastro has begun to speak in coded language in order to express his feelings about those of the Jewish faith and Israel in general.
He also expressed frustration as he had 100 units on hand of his Fifth Amendment Auto Plaque product on hand that he needed to sell to fund ongoing lawsuits. If his number is true, it is a significant success for the YouTuber, after previously claiming to have had 500 units on hand after the initial print run. The Auto Plaque replaces DeCastro’s “indestructible” Trifold product.
While DeCastro’s Auto Plaque has apparently been a success, the launch of his PDF based Constitutional HQ board game has not been as successful. DeCastro’s own website claims that he has sold two copies of the full game since its long-delayed launch last month.
Fans had been waiting for nearly two years for the release of the product, which was designed to teach DeCastro’s views on the history of the Constitution and laws in America and the lengthy delay and requirement to print out nearly 1,000 flash cards may have hampered sales of the product.
DeCastro’s pleas for funding went largely unanswered and none of his viewers donated to his related GoFundMe campaigns.
The campaign for James “James Freeman” Springer took in another $45.00 for Friday, bringing its total to $70,653.00 in under a month of activity.
Angle “Kansas City Accountability” Moses placed second with $40.00 in new donations to his Justice for Unlawful Arrest in Ohio fund.
No other campaigns that we follow saw donations for Friday.
We will continue to monitor DeCastro’s pledge to file his new lawsuit and bring you details on the suit as soon as it is released to the public.
