Albuquerque, NM — Daniel A. Mitchem is no Dewitte. On February 8, 2020, officers of the Albuquerque Police Department Auto Theft Unit had deployed a City-owned white Chevy Tahoe as a bait car. The operation was active in the area of 810 Copper Avenue NW, and the Tahoe was being electronically monitored with audio and video recording devices as well as GPS.
An APD detective who was present in an undercover capacity was walking toward the bait car when he was approached by a male wearing a red flannel shirt, blue jacket, and black jean pants. The detective stated that the male subject “took a step backwards while pushing his jacket away from the right side of his hip and placed his right hand on a camouflage firearm that was secured in his waistband area.”
According to the detective, the male subject identified himself as a member of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department. In turn, the detective identified himself as a member of the Albuquerque Police Department. The male responded out of protocol: he immediately hopped into the bait car and fled the scene at high speed. Clever.
Detectives from APD’s Auto Theft Unit located the vehicle in the area of 13th Street SW and Rio Avenue SW, where they observed the male subject outside of the vehicle attempting to conceal something near the area of the vehicle’s spare tire.
The male subject saw the detectives, got back into the vehicle, and drove off once again at a high rate of speed. Detectives were ultimately able to contact and detain the male as he pulled up to the front of a residence on the 800 block of Pacific Avenue SW. It was there that detectives identified their subject as Daniel A. Mitchem and observed that his belt was undone on its right side, and that the belt itself was out of Mitchem’s pant loops. Mitchem was advised of his Miranda rights and agreed to speak with the police.
During the field interview that followed, Mitchem mostly-admitted to having identified himself as a Sheriff’s Deputy, and he freely admitted to being a felon, claiming ignorance that the gun was real. Mitchem told detectives that he had disposed of the firearm underneath the white Tahoe in the area of its rear bumper, and the gun was promptly recovered. The Springfield 9mm with a magazine containing 13 live rounds was far from fake.
A criminal history query of Daniel A. Mitchem found that he had three previous felony cases that had resulted in convictions, including aggravated 2nd degree murder, aggravated armed robbery, tampering with evidence, escape from a penitentiary, and conspiracy to bring contraband into a prison. All in New Mexico.
On March 10, 2020 a Grand Jury delivered a federal indictment of Daniel A. Mitchem for one count of 18:922(g)(1) Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition, and one count of 18:922(j) Possession of a Stolen Firearm. Mitchem is currently in custody pending trial, which is now set for June 15, 2020.

Fake Cop Arrested After He made a Traffic Stop, Police Discover Handcuffs, machete, and bullet proof best in trunk.
On July 7, 2024, at approximately 2135 hours, a Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) officer, while on uniform land patrol in a marked patrol truck, observed an incident on St. John’s Parkway just south of Hartford Avenue in St. John’s County, Florida. The officer witnessed two vehicles traveling southbound on the opposite side of the road, with the rear vehicle activating lights resembling emergency patrol lights to conduct what appeared to be a traffic stop on the leading vehicle.
The officer performed a U-turn and approached the scene to assist, only to discover the rear vehicle was a marked security vehicle belonging to “Godly Security Agency,” a 2015 black Ford Taurus previously registered as a police vehicle. The vehicle bore markings indicating it was a “Patrol Unit,” with officer insignia on the sides and activated LED white and green emergency lights.
As the officer approached, the vehicle initially stopped by the security vehicle drove away. The officer identified the individual in the security vehicle as the defendant, later confirmed through a Florida driver’s license. The defendant was dressed in khaki BDU shorts and a dark polo shirt displaying a badge insignia on the chest and rank stripes on the sleeves. He was openly carrying a loaded Glock 19 (gen 5) pistol on his right hip. The defendant claimed he conducted the stop to check on the vehicle’s driver, citing a strong mechanical odor and the presence of hazard lights.
The officer informed the defendant that conducting such a welfare traffic stop violated the driver’s civil rights. During the interaction, the defendant admitted to routinely performing similar stops. His loaded firearm was seized, and his identification was obtained. The defendant was detained and placed in the patrol truck pending further investigation for impersonating a police officer. Deputies from the St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper arrived to assist with the investigation. The defendant was read his Miranda rights and agreed to speak further, confirming his actions and stating he was “on duty” that evening, despite the location not being part of his assigned jurisdiction.
A search of the defendant’s vehicle revealed additional items, including a gun belt with a baton, pepper spray, two full magazines, an empty plate carrier labeled “K9 Officer,” a bulletproof vest, a machete, two pairs of handcuffs, a vehicle dash camera, and a body-worn camera that had been recording during the investigation. Both cameras were seized for evidence.
The following items were logged into evidence at the St. John’s County facility (locker #6):
• Body-worn camera (BWC)
• Firearm with ammunition and magazine
• Dash camera
Search warrants may be sought to access the recording devices upon direction from the State Attorney’s Office. The defendant’s vehicle was towed by Allan’s Towing but not seized.
The defendant was transported to the St. John’s County Jail without incident. His handcuffs were double-locked and checked for proper fit. The patrol truck was inspected before and after transport with no findings. The defendant was charged with the following violations under Florida State Statutes:
• F.S. 843.08: Impersonating an Officer
• F.S. 790.053(1): Open Carry of a Firearm or Electric Weapon/DeviceDonny Rapture,POLICE WATCH,cops,bodycam,body camera,police,news law&crime network,code blue cam,police interaction,police officer,crime documentaries,crime documentary,dui,police activity,police videos,POLICE INSIDER,police insider uncut,first amendment audit,1st amendment audit,inside edition,corrupt cops caught on camera,cop,live pd,a&e,law and crime network,crime,law enforcement,donut operator,FWC,Fish And Wildlife,Hunting,Fishing.

On May 31, 2020, at 7:25 p.m., John Wesley Mobley attended a Black Lives Matter protest in Orlando, Florida. According to an undercover officer with the Orlando Police Department, Mr. Mobley got out of his car to roust protestors who were blocking his way. He did so by displaying a U.S. Marshal badge and by asking them if they wanted to “get arrested” or “go to jail.”
Just over an hour later, Mr. Mobley was spotted by the same undercover officer—wearing what appeared to be a firearm. The undercover officer, a sergeant, called for marked units to contact Mr. Mobley. She was “thinking that Mobley wanted to seek out revenge against the protestors.” The firearm was identical to a Glock; in reality it was a BB gun.
In short order, Mr. Mobley was surrounded by uniformed Orlando Police officers, mainly on bicycles. What followed was captured on the body worn camera video shown here. By the end, it appears that Mr. Mosley has peed his pants.
On February 19, 2009, John Wesley Mobley was investigated by the Orange County Sherriff’s Office for an incident in which he used his gold Ford pick-up truck to block another vehicle. Mobley got out of his truck, stated he was an off duty police officer, and accused the other driver of driving recklessly. Mobley was wearing a black hat with the words “Deputy Sheriff” on it in gold letters.
On February 26, 2009, Two Windermere Police Officers were conducting radar enforcement when a gold Ford pick-up truck sped past them. The officers pursued the truck, but discontinued following him after he observed a permanent tag on the back of the truck that stated, “Sheriff.” Later, the same gold truck pulled up behind the officers on the side of the road and Mobley got out of his vehicle and approached the officers. Mobley was wearing a hat that said “Deputy Sheriff” on it in gold letters.
Mobley claimed to be a deputy sheriff for about three years, said he was in the tactical anti-crime (TAC) unit, and gave them the name of a real deputy sheriff who Mobley falsely claimed to be. Mobley claimed to have been moved into the TAC unit due to his prior experience as an Army Ranger.
After Mobley provided additional false details about his involvement in the TAC unit, one of the officers left to conduct a traffic stop. Mobley then pulled his truck around the officer and acted as though he was providing backup for the officer.
On this same day, a corporal for the OCSO driving an unmarked vehicle observed Mobley driving in his truck wearing the same hat that said “Deputy Sheriff” on it and the “Sheriff” tag on the back of the truck. While the vehicles were stopped next to each other, the corporal asked Mobley where he worked and he replied “Sector 5 Narcotics,” and Mobley claimed the truck was a sheriff vehicle. The corporal pulled Mobley over and Mobley drove away from him until he lost him.
After additional investigation, Mobley was arrested on March 12, 2009, and his gold pick-up truck was searched. Inside the truck law enforcement found multiple shirts with the emblems of various sheriffs’ offices, a black wallet with a metal insignia on it that said “State of Florida Law Enforcement,” and the previously mentioned hat with “Deputy Sheriff” written in gold letters.
As Mobley was being driven to the jail, he initiated conversation with the corporal and told him that he was previously arrested for breaking into an OCSO vehicle and stealing the red and blue lights inside. Mobley explained that he stole the Sheriff’s tag from an unmarked car in College Park.
The mother of an autistic child reported that on July 29, 2016, and August 3, 2016, Mobley came to her residence and told her that he was a Gainesville Police Officer. Mobley was walking with a German Shepard which he claimed was a police K-9. The autistic child was apparently riding his go-cart in the street and Mobley threatened to take him to jail because he was not paying attention.
On August 6, 2016, Gainesville Police were called to a Publix in reference to a suspicious person carrying a gun. A witness saw Mobley pull back a rain coat and exposed a handgun holster on his hip. Two officers encountered Mobley inside of the Publix and he voluntarily gave up the gun on his hip. The gun was a black metal Airsoft pellet gun. Mobley was also wearing a police style belt, an expandable black baton, a set of Peerless handcuffs, a flashlight, a can of tear gas or pepper spray, and a black shirt bearing the word “Police.”
After checking Mobley’s criminal history, Officer John O’Ferrell questioned Mobley in the back of his police car. That recording, with periods of silence truncated in the audio, follows the 2020 body cam video.
On March 24, 2021, Mobley pleaded guilty to Impersonating a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison… and remanded to the custody of U.S. Marshals.

The 5’5″, 500 Pound JB Pritzker, most likely the fattest Governor in the Nation has his eye on running for the Way office of the President of the United States in 2028. The obese two term Governor has not announced he will run a third term Governor of Illinois in 2026. A far left liberal, JB Pritzker feels like he is a great leader. Unfortunately, the short obese Pritzker has dug himself into a bit of a pickle as Governor of Illinois that is not is and will come back to bite him in his obese fat oversized liberal socialist ass: The grossly obese JB Pritzker spent billions of Illinois taxpayer money to harbor, shelter, provide legal counsel, feed, educate, protect, and provide health care benefits to illegal migrants who were never vetted. By doing so, JB PRITZKER has left the taxpayers of Illinois with a budget deficit of $3 billion dollars.

Watch now to understand what’s unfolding and how it could impact your financial future.
