The week started with another pair of livestreams by Jose “Chille” DeCastro, following some bold claims over the weekend, new footage of a man being violently extracted from his vehicle by police, and, of course, a vague threat of legal action that resulted in the filing of a subpoena for Google to provide the user information of YouTuber Irish Demon.
DeCastro’s Monday live stream started with the announcement that he had finished trademarking and patenting his board game and that he would show it off “today,” continuing a promise he had made the night before on his previous livestream.
Instead of following through with the promise, DeCastro began playing anti-police videos, focusing on a case from Jacksonville, Florida, in February of this year. That video featured a black man being pulled out of his car and beaten by police, again, offered without context.
According to Jacksonville’s FirstCoast NBC News affiliate, the incident happened on February 19, 2025, and was posted on Instagram over the weekend by an account using the name 904will.
That person’s post claimed that he was pulled over in February for not using his headlights during inclement conditions, despite conditions being clear. When he refused to get out of the car, police smashed his window and dragged him from the vehicle. He said he suffered a chipped tooth and concussion in the incident.
Video accompanying the post shows the incident, which is what DeCastro was playing on his livestream. Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s department released a statement that the department has launched an internal investigation into the incident.
DeCastro, at one point, stopped and exclaimed that the man should have had his trifold product and followed his strict policies, procedures and protocols during the encounter with police.
The diminutive YouTuber made it clear that he would have given the man a copy of his trifold for free, if he had only asked (or been aware of DeCastro’s presence on YouTube). Telling his fans that his trifold saves lives and it implied that what happened the man’s fault for trying to interact with police and not using his proven method.
DeCastro rewound the video several times, proclaimed the police were at fault, then used his “J.D.” character to make a prink call to the Jacksonville Sheriiff’s Department to make a complaint about the situation.
Tuesday saw DeCastro return to the subject, this time armed with damning new video from the police bodycams of the incident, which didn’t quite match his narrative.
In the new video, which started a minute or so before the Instagram video, the driver opens his door and explains that his window won’t open on the passenger side. The sky can be seen and is clouded over but it isn’t raining yet, which would typically activate automatic running lights in most cars.
When the officer approaches and asks for the man’s license, registration and proof of insurance, the man refuses, demands a supervisor and then closes and locks his driver side door.
Unlike the Instagram video, which is continuous and gives a condensed version of the incident, the officer’s body camera shows that he asked the driver to step out of the vehicle multiple times and waited for backup before ultimately breaking the window to extract the driver from the car.
Before the extraction, the driver cracked open the passenger side window and briefly engaged with a second police officer. That officer explained that the conditions called for headlights to be used by law and that the man needed to identify himself.
DeCastro’s attitude changed between Monday and Tuesday. Now the man has done everything wrong in the situation. Instead of the approach that the police randomly attacked the man, the man now did everything wrong because he didn’t follow the “DeCastro Technique.”
While enraged when the Jacksonville Sheriff announced that there were no pending charges against the officers and they were cleared of wrongdoing, DeCastro seemed more focused on selling trifolds than the man’s actual plight.
After being briefly distracted by news that an officer involved in the death of Breonna Taylor raid received 33 months in prison, DeCastro returned to the report of the Jacksonville driver. He noted that police found marijuana on the man along with a large knife hidden on the driver’s side of the car.
As he wrapped up the livestream, DeCastro indicated that he had “big news” in the next few days and that there would be very real consequences for people who crossed him, resulting in action through legal means.

Hours before DeCastro went live, a new PACER listing was filed indicating that DeCastro, through that Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq., had filed a subpoena against Google for information on the Irish Demon YouTube channel. That subpoena would later be granted by the clerk of the court that was assigned to the case.
While neither DeCastro nor Newman have made a public statement about the subpoena request, both the request and DeCastro’s statement accompanying the lawsuit indicate that it involves a single case of copyright infringement by Irish Demon’s channel.
The statement by DeCastro includes a forward of the copyright complaint, dated January 24, 2023, and requests the takedown of a single allegedly infringing video. The takedown indicated that DeCastro had an active lawsuit against Google at the time he filed the complaint, which was indeed during the time that DeCastro had an active lawsuit against Kate Peter, Josh Abrams and YouTube/Google in 2023.
DeCastro’s 2023 lawsuit would eventually be dismissed as he was found to have failed to make a valid complaint against any of the defendants in the lawsuit.
Irish Demon’s video at the center of the complaint remains available for viewing on the YouTube platform.
