If you deal fentanyl and it results in someone dying,
I'm going to charge you with homicide.
In Lee County, Florida, you deal poison, we're hunting you down.
Oh my God, holy...
All of these bins, fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl.
Inside we've got 254 pills contained.
In two bags here.
This is Sheriff Marcino, the most OP sheriff in all of Florida,
using social media to intimidate criminals from committing crimes
and to let the good people of Lee County,
Florida, know the cops have their back.
We're bringing on the heat and cleaning the streets.
Welcome to Operation Summer Sizzler.
We're bringing on the heat and cleaning the streets.
After visiting countless soft-on-crime cities,
plagued with cops who have their hands tied,
and DAs who let criminals out the next day,
what does a county that spends $250 million per year look like?
And does it work?
A defenseless dog had its mouth duct-taped closed,
its paws duct-taped together.
This oxygen stealer was a person of interest,
but if I could, I would duct-tape his mouth shut and his legs together.
First door of Lee County. Many more to come.
I met up with Sheriff Marcino himself to figure out why they spend
so much money, where it goes, and if it keeps people more safe.
Oh, this is your office.
We will have law and order.
Oh, look at this. We will have law and order. That's your mantra.
Yes, we will. That's right.
That's seemingly a rare mantra these days.
Now, why is this important?
This is the Marcino Mansion right here.
I don't want to have to call people to get what's going on.
So as you walk over, first and foremost, okay, calls for service.
Today, we're up to 972 calls.
Yesterday, 1,689.
This week, 4,289.
This month, 50,284.
This year.
261,879 calls.
Okay.
You can see we're running.
We're running hard.
But, but now you come over here.
It shows all the precincts, 4th precinct, 5th precinct, 7th precinct.
300 plus cameras in Department of Transportation.
I know what's going on right now, any place in this county.
Aviation, if they're up, whoever's working,
I can click on their camera right now
and I can watch their interaction.
Can I see it?
Live Google.
This is a big, big deal.
And I'm going to show you live Google
So I'm going to show you right now.
I can tell you where everybody is, what they're doing,
and then I can also bring up, you know,
any intersection I want in the county right now.
So you're bringing up live CCTV cameras right now?
I'm bringing up live cameras.
Wow.
You have eyes and ears everywhere.
Everywhere.
But I can go to any intersection and pull it up right now.
So if there's a crash, if someone says we're in a pursuit,
whatever it might be, it shows
me right now.
Plus...
It shows me every single person working.
The stars are where my deputies are.
It tells me what they're doing,
what they're on, what calls for service.
It's important for me to have my finger on the pulse constantly.
Is the traffic stop right here?
So this is Deputy Austin, and right now I can see his body worn camera,
so it's as if we're on scene.
We got this county locked down.
This can't be cheap, but I imagine...
Crime isn't cheap either.
Does this save money overall
by preventing people from doing crazy stuff?
A couple things, right?
First, what's the cost of life?
Is it a dollar?
Is it $3 million?
What's the cost of a life?
For me, there's no cost to protect lives.
Secondly, utilizing grants, utilizing drug money, forfeiture money,
and plus utilizing our general fund and our budget.
When you take drugs and guns off the streets,
the crime rate goes down and the quality of life goes up.
And Lee County is really, I mean, leading the way.
In fact, Sheriff Marcino claims that in 2020 when he was
He took Lee County from the sixth most unsafe city in America to the
third safest county in the nation when it comes to violent crime.
While I can neither confirm nor deny that statistic,
here's a graph of the violent crime in Lee County since 2020.
At the very least, increased police presence with more boots
on the ground and Sheriff Marcino's social media conquest has seemed
to communicate to criminals that if you commit a crime in Lee County,
they will find and they will arrest you, which should deter them
from acting a fool and committing crimes in Lee County.
In addition to overall presence,
Presence in the community, Lee County is taking innovative measures
when it comes to incorporating
new technology like this robot dog, Robby.
This thing is amazing.
It's replacing what could be a police officer going into the scene.
His name is Robby in our agency, Robby the Robot Dog,
and we use Robby for a lot of different
scenarios throughout our agency.
This thing looks like it could hunt me down and murder me.
This dog is fun.
This dog is a Boston Dynamics dog.
Over 10 cameras on this dog.
There's a PTZ camera on top with a thermal. There's two-way
mic so we can talk.
Oh, so you can negotiate with people holding hostages? Yes sir, yeah.
This dog can open doors, it can go upstairs,
you know, provides that real-time information
with all those cameras so we can clear residents
and then go back to the command post and say okay
it is safe for for us to go in or we kind
of know what we're working with when we go inside
inside that structure.
So this is our indoor drone.
And what we use, we use that in conjunction with Robby.
I'm happy.
So as the ultimate tag team walking inside of a house,
the drone is right over top of it so we can make sure Robby's
in a safe environment. Wow.
Robby is replacing what would be a police officer
going into a line of fire, potentially. Correct.
OK, and the drone can say there's an obstacle, the drone can go.
obviously over that obstacle through a window up
a second story if we need to get there fast and
that's what we use that drone for so this drone
is going to be up at 400 feet so we're going to
have a much wider angle
and picture to provide that information to not only our boots on the
ground to our real-time intelligence center inside
of our headquarters we're going to be on the scene
for a long period of time or just a response we're going
to utilize this drone response vehicle um
inside here we have four monitors all the drones we deploy
in our agency we're able to live stream
Also, I uploaded an extended
version of this video to my Patreon
weeks ago, along with uncensored
early access to all my videos before they go up on YouTube,
and exclusive DLC content
that YouTube won't let me upload.
If you want to support our boots-on-the-ground
independent journalism that is not by
Thank you
for your
support
and back
to Florida. We go. Oh my God!
This is amazing. I mean, it's quick enough.
Let's say I had someone, I'm holding them hostage.
What can this dog do? It's going to come
into the scene and give me eyes and ears?
It's going to give you eyes and ears. Exactly.
So we kind of know what we're working with
and what resources we need to bring into that environment.
How much does dog cost?
A lot. You know, where a lot of these it's used from forfeiture funds.
So bad money turned good.
So not the taxpayers, it's the actual criminals who bought this for us.
Smart.
So this is the gripper.
He's going to open it up.
Could it clasp someone's hand,
for instance, and take them into custody?
Yeah, that's true.
There was nobody there.
It just grabbed my arm.
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh.
What just happened?
That's him talking.
But to all the baddies out there...
The technology is getting pretty insane right now.
It is.
It seems like there's no chance
to be a career criminal in the next 20 years.
No, not at all.
So we have a 360 degree angle if we want
to see what's going on in the back of it, we can.
As well as in complete darkness to see if, um, body heat of a subject.
So this thing can operate in the night?
It can.
Okay.
So even if you try to hide in complete darkness, Robbie will find you.
So in the back of it you've got a screen TV.
Look at this.
We've got the awning, we've got the big screen,
so on a scene where we're at an area for a long
period of time, this is almost
our command post where everybody's seeing what's going on inside
the house or in the air. This is just a nice feature.
In what scenario are you guys out here
watching this happen play out?
Yeah, recently we had a bank robbery and we had multiple units from
different agencies as well. They wanted to see what
was going on, you know, having this drone
Drone Response Vehicle, the DRV.
This is our Black Hornet.
Stealth drone.
What?
It's a little helicopter, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
We are the first law enforcement agency
to purchase this in the country.
This is typically for military purposes,
but now they opened it up to law enforcement.
And we'll utilize this if we need to be more stealth mode.
Just to get into very small spaces,
like I mentioned, an attic or over a rooftop to see
what's going on on top of the roof.
So this can maneuver.
In very, very tight spaces where the bigger drones cannot, so.
Is there a world where they could just explode at some point
and just be used as like mobile detonation units?
It's like, look at that little antenna.
It's a great observation. This thing is extremely quiet right now.
Little tablet in hand.
This looks like a delicate procedure right now.
Can I push him?
Yeah.
You bad dog. Don't poop on the floor.
Ugh, you bad dog.
Don't on the ground, you piece of crap dog.
You're a bad dog.
You're a bad dog.
You're a bad dog. She left you at the pound.
All right. Yeah, it's resilient. Do we think these
dogs are going to get faster, stronger?
As time advances, the technology is just getting better
and better. So they are getting faster.
They're getting more durable. This one, you know, you can
move it left and right and it's not going to fall over.
It kind of corrects itself. That's Robbie.
This dog will catch you if you're acting like a villain.
Don't try acting like a thug in Lee County, a sheriff would say.
Yet as someone who just got arrested and taken to jail for jaywalking
and asking too many questions about a serial killer in Austin, Texas,
insane tech like these tiny nimble drones and robot dogs
beg the question of how powerful the police should be
and if all law enforcement can wield this power properly.
While at the same time, acknowledging the upside of a world
where criminals are less likely to commit crimes
and more likely to get caught if they do.
I met back up with Sheriff Marcino to understand
his vision for policing the future
and why he thinks this emphasis on technology
is a massive benefit to the residents of Lee County.
Sheriff, what are we going to see today?
This is headquarters, you know what,
and this is an important day for us.
First of all, great residents in Lee County.
We love it. We have law and order, unlike other places.
People come here for a reason, not just palm trees and beaches.
Proud to say our violent crime is down
and crime rate is down the lowest it's ever been.
And you know what? We're not apologizing for keeping people safe.
Okay, sure.
What are some strategies you're using to keep Lee County safe out here?
Working smarter and harder.
Utilizing the latest and greatest technology.
By the way, while we're talking here,
technology is going to change, right?
Sure.
Staying up to date with it.
Making certain that our residents know that we have all the tools.
Worst case scenario?
It's a best-case scenario to keep them safe.
And people understand, you commit a crime in Lee County,
we will find you using the latest and greatest technology,
and we will hunt you down, and you will go
to jail and be charged accordingly.
So that's why people come to Florida.
Why do they leave my hometown in New York?
I'm a New Yorker. You can hear from the accent.
They leave because there's no law and order.
People complain, and they attack me, right?
Oh, Republican sheriff. I'm the sheriff of the people.
Okay.
Okay, it doesn't matter.
What age, ethnicity, who you are, where you come from.
When you call 9-1-1, we don't say, okay, sir, are you a Republican?
Are you white, Italian, African-American, Asian?
No, we don't say any of that.
We say, ma'am or sir, what's your problem?
I'm the sheriff of the people.
Sheriff, if I want to deal some fentanyl to some people under a bridge,
what would you and your deputies do to me?
If you deal in Lee County, Florida.
You are 100% going to be hunted down.
You're going to be charged to the fullest extent of the law,
and I'm taking everything from you.
Cars, houses, money, anything you have is going to be a forfeiture.
Also, the most important thing is,
if you deal fentanyl and it results in someone dying,
okay, the drug homicide investigations team.
I'm going to charge you with homicide.
In Lee County, Florida, you deal poison.
We're hunting you down.
I can show you right now what plane is flying over.
Speed, altitude, direction of travel, where they're going.
Okay, everything right here is...
The flight comes up, it tells you everything.
It tells you what the plane is, where it's going.
And as the U.S. has had more school shootings than
all other major industrialized nations combined,
Sheriff Marcino believes his high-tech surveillance
and increased police presence on campus can help prevent them.
Every school...
It's being monitored as we speak.
Let's say a school shooter walks into a school right now.
Could you guys prevent that and see it before it even happens?
The cameras are there.
If a shooter walks in, okay, I can tell you right now,
our school resource officers, we have one in every school,
we have two in high schools,
and if they have a capacity of 1,500 kids or more,
two SROs.
If someone thinks they're going to go into our schools
and kill our children
or kill our teachers,
we will meet them outside
and we will kill them immediately.
We're not waiting one second, and again, people will attack me on that.
From here, this works, and our analysts are amazing here.
They work simultaneously with STET, our School Threat Enforcement Team.
Whoa.
Well, what does that mean?
Well, that means that every threat that comes through,
we get between 5 and 50 threats a week.
Now, the vast majority of them do not rise to probable cause,
okay, but we don't wait one second.
We look into every single threat.
We look into the household, the parents.
We look at everything. Are there firearms in that house?
We need to make sure if someone says they're going
to shoot a school up,
well, if they have firearms at home,
they have the ability possibly to do that.
We also help them on the mental health counseling side.
So we have mental health counselors that go out right now
in STET, in the school threat enforcement team,
and we're helping kids right now.
We're watching over 550 kids in real time.
In real time, if they made a threat, what it is,
where they go to school, and then we're
working with their parents and guardians to help them.
The vast majority turn it around.
If they do a threat and it reaches probable cause, we will arrest.
We prefer not to.
So education and awareness is number one, last results enforcement.
Proud to tell you, Lee County Sheriff's Office, number one.
In the state, on how we protect our children, number one.
Right now, just for school threats.
This is the busiest unit in the entire agency.
We get between 5 and 50 threats a week.
That's a lot.
What does that tell you?
It tells me that society's gone in the wrong direction, right?
Years ago, people pushed each other
on the playground, someone got a black eye,
you put a stake on your eye, they were best friends.
Today, we're getting real threats.
We're going to shoot the school.
We're going to kill this one.
Weapons on school grounds.
Well, where did they learn this, right?
As you're responding to the call, you see,
it tells you exactly where to go, what to do.
You're going to hear one shooter, you know, black and white shirt on,
you know, in the cafeteria, which is, you know, H6.
You're going to know exactly where it is because remember,
you might not know the location, J10.
K9, K10, but you know the grid.
And if someone is responding
from a different area, they know the grid too.
So anyone responding, we can stage, EMS, fire, all by grid.
So it's a quick, immediate,
almost foolproof program that gets us to that point to save lives.
So good.
In addition to increased school monitoring, Sheriff Marcino has
a zero-tolerance approach to the presence of fentanyl,
the leading cause of death for Americans 18 through 45.
I've seen some big drug busts you guys have had.
How common is that, and what tactics
are you guys using to take down these drug baddies?
First and foremost, double the size of the narcotics unit.
And why is that?
Not just because I ask.
Because we all know that people rob, kill, and steal for drugs.
We also know that people overdose on drugs.
So holding them accountable.
The people that deal the poison, charge them with homicide.
The DEA does a great job.
We work close with them.
Okay, you take the drug dealer off the street.
You incarcerate them.
When they come out...
A lot of the times they're doing the same thing again.
But drug dealers talk more than you and I are talking right here.
And they say, and we know through conversations,
stay out of Lee County, Florida.
Our men are everywhere.
We're not playing games.
And when you take drugs off the streets, especially big ones,
you're saving lives.
People aren't overdosing on them.
Fentanyl kills.
And it's coming right through our borders.
We know that cartel members, terrorists,
Drug dealers are coming through our borders.
We can't control the world, but we are going to control Lee County.
So drug dealers are not welcomed here?
Not welcome. Matter of fact, the only place they are welcomed is jail.
And we'll put them in jail. We'll gladly give them a matching pair of
jumpsuits and slides and they can go do their thing
and they can stay at the Marcino Motel.
Where do these drugs end up? Let me
introduce you to the evidence chamber.
So this is our drug room.
Oh, it smells loud in here. We have weed in here or what?
We've got everything in here.
Fentanyl, we always store in double bags
and we seal it with tape
and it's stored in containers as well.
So we've got a lot of packaging
in between us and the fentanyl.
Strong smell of weed in here.
And you're not concerned going into this raw, no gloves?
No, I'm not.
I trust that we have everything labeled properly.
Suspected fentanyl.
So, ooh, that's kind of scary.
Gets my heart racing a little bit.
So inside we've got a bag of fentanyl
contained in two bags here.
Now the person that packaged it,
They should worry about...
The exposure.
All of these bins.
Look at this.
Fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl.
Those stickers are scary.
When we store everything in here,
we've got over-the-counter Tylenol in here.
Over-the-counter Sudafed
because people use Sudafed to make methamphetamine.
Do we have any meth in here? What is this?
Suspected fentanyl, suspected fentanyl,
suspected fentanyl. This is the culmination of...
These are all active cases right now.
Do you guys dispose of the fentanyl after the case is resolved?
We take it to an undisclosed location
and it completely gets destroyed. It gets burned
and then all of the particulate from the burning,
the smoke and everything,
that gets scrubbed so nothing goes into the atmosphere.
In this case in particular,
This one is cocaine. A little pill. A little rock.
This one's a little marijuana. Just a little
little joint. All right. And here's some fentanyl pills.
Okay. Some blues. So the thing
about fentanyl is it comes in all different forms.
We've sent some marijuana off to the lab to be
tested because we have to verify what it is.
And they come back that it's got traces of fentanyl in
it. How recent is that? It happens almost weekly
that we send it off to the lab and we get it back.
There's fentanyl everywhere.
The dealer might not be selling it to you on purpose, but unbeknownst
to them, it's there and unbeknownst to you.
And here in Lee County, if someone were to die due
They would go to jail for murder.
Yes.
Don't deal drugs.
Not in Lee County.
Yeah.
Woo.
Whoa, look at this.
Look at all those pills.
Can we see it?
This is all fentanyl?
Wow.
They look just like little mints.
We're looking at a bag full of Altoid-like fentanyl pills
that look like the average mint you'd pop in your mouth.
254 pills right there.
And the common metric, you see this touted often,
is this is enough to kill at least 254 people.
Sure.
Seriously.
Scary stuff, man.
Whoever handled these to get them into evidence,
major balls, major respect.
Two milligrams is a lethal dose of fentanyl.
And these are 0.5 grams.
There's 1,000 milligrams per gram.
And right here, I have 300 grams of fentanyl.
Has crime gone down since you've become sheriff?
It has.
You know, it was nothing for us to have three
or four felony pursuits going on at one time.
All right.
I got to brag, and I will tell you this.
Not on me.
I'm going to brag to the great residents of this county
because you are so great.
You support us.
And that's the reason we're able to do our job.
When you have a cohesive team with like-minded people
that want safety, security, law and order,
and the Governor DeSantis, of course,
stands behind law enforcement,
gives us all the tools we need to do our job.
He sets the tone at the highest level.
That's why we have a great state.
That's why people are leaving California.
They're leaving New York.
They don't want, people are urinating and defecating
in the public while people are walking to work.
Poor people just trying to enjoy
their day get punched in the face for no reason.
Okay, well, that doesn't happen here,
and it's not going to happen here.
And luckily for pets, Sheriff Marcino loves animals almost
as much as he hates criminals.
We protect animals to the fullest extent here.
If someone makes an allegation of abuse or neglect, full force,
the Animal Cruelty Task Force, detectives assigned to just that,
they go out, and if probable cause exists...
We arrest them.
And most importantly, we have an abuse registry now.
If they're convicted, again, thanks to our county commissioners,
I wanted them to go on a registry.
It's like a sexual predator registry.
They go on a registry for five years.
They can't own an animal, and everybody knows who they are.
I like that.
And now I'm working with legislators to make that statewide.
And let's put them out there and shame them
and make certain they can't have another animal,
you know, for five years.
Sheriff, what if I broke into your house
when you were on vacation and moved in and presented
a fake lease to a sheriff out here, to a deputy?
I can tell you this.
We don't have those issues, and why?
Tell me why.
Because we're not going to tolerate them.
My home is my sanctuary.
Nobody is going to come break into someone's house
and claim what's not their property.
You're out of there.
It'd be over before it starts.
Sheriff, I know you're a busy man.
If there are any criminals out there plotting
anything right now, what would you say to them?
My message to the criminals is very safe,
and it's absolutely 100% true.
Don't come to Lee County, Florida.
Don't come to Florida.
We have great sheriffs.
and law enforcement officers throughout
the entire state led by our great governor Ron DeSantis.
Ron DeSantis wants law and order.
Our senators, our state attorneys everywhere want law and order.
So if you want to live life and love life with sunshine and palm trees,
if you come to the state
of Florida, we love you, we love everybody.
Drug dealers, people that want to commit crime,
And for any criminals trying to run and barricade themselves indoors,
Lee County's explosives unit will find a way in.
Alright, imagine a crazy maniac is inside a building,
he's holding five babies hostage,
he says he's going to kill himself and everyone inside.
The cops and SWAT need to get in ASAP.
Bombs on the wall, they're getting in.
In 3, 2, 1...
Oh my god, holy sh...
That caught me off guard.
Damn, that was crazy.
That was like fireworks.
The bomb has blown off.
The crazed maniac is shocked.
He didn't expect the SWAT to come in,
much less blow off the wall.
He's spooked right now.
His ears are ringing.
His head's spinning.
The dude has no clue.
He just lost his left testicle
because something flew straight into his chest.
The kids are shockwaved on the ground.
The kids are deaf for life.
That was crazy.
Look at how far this thing flew.
Look at how far that thing flew.
That's crazy.
Wow, that thing launched off.
So it's someone inside the crazy maniac
who kidnapped the five babies.
Is he disoriented?
Yeah, okay.
It's a very good distraction technique
as well as a hasty end.
And then, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup.
Grab the kids, get out.
Yeah.
If need be.
If need be.
All right, good to know.
There's a bomb for you.
Lee County built different, man.
They don't play around.
That was awesome.
All right.
Number two?
Alright, your turn.
Oh, hell yeah, alright.
We're doing another one!
Should I take out the safeties first?
Make sure you watch.
You want me to watch just for like immersion purposes?
A man catches his wife having sex with another man.
The man is now going to kill himself, the man, and his wife.
He won't leave the building. He has a gun to her head.
SWAT team says, get down now.
He says, no, I'm gonna kill all of us.
SWAT team, little does he know,
the bomb's about to penetrate a hole in the wall
for the SWAT and the cops to enter.
Before he even realizes it, the safety's been released.
The pin is gone.
Ready?
And in three...
Three, two, one, oh my god, the man is half dead,
the SWAT team enters the building, and
the infidel are on the ground, bawling,
the husband's now dead, that was the father of
his three kids, they're dead,
that's a small price to pay for their infidelity, Lee County
Police Department taking down once again another baddie.
Lee County, man, they do not mess around.
Do not kidnap someone.
Good work, guys.
That was a beautiful explosion.
You guys are masters at your craft.
While the villains may be caught with the dogs and babies rescued,
you might be wondering what they do with all
the remaining evidence left behind.
We're here in the evidence room, and I'm here with Lieutenant Pannoni.
What do we have in here?
We have over 140,000 items.
Basically, this is the county's evidence handling facility.
We have everything in here from drugs, guns, money, wheelchairs,
anything that's related to a criminal case.
We're going to be storing it here in this building.
We're talking pop, pop, pop, fentanyl, everything, everything.
Uh, we've got guns, we've got crossbows, we've got everything, yeah.
And what is its purpose in here?
Storage until the case goes to trial.
Once the case goes to court, we send the evidence to court,
and the prosecutors utilize that to help prove the case,
and then we're able to dispose of it after the case has been resolved.
Everything. As you can see, we got a wheelbarrow.
If I use that to ram into someone and kill them, that'd end up here?
That would end up here, even if you used it just to...
Transport some stolen items.
That's a fruit of a crime, so we're gonna take it.
We have things as small as a single piece of paper,
whether it's a stolen check or a checkbook,
all the way up to vehicles.
We have cars stored on the other side of this room
that we'll go see.
There's a trampoline all the way over there.
There's a trampoline all the way over there, yeah.
So the fishing poles are great
because we take those when they're stolen.
If we can't figure out who the owner is
or the owner doesn't want it back,
then we donate those to the Sheriff's Youth Organization
and they take the kids out.
Fishing in the summer, now that school's out.
Money counter? Okay, I like that one.
A spare tire off of a car.
Okay.
Is that a PS2 right there?
That's retro.
All right.
Blood covered.
It's got a biohazard sticker on it.
Ooh, okay.
We try to keep all the bios contained.
So I've hung out with some gangsters, if you will,
and oftentimes they'll give me their guns to take a look at.
I touched that. Am I running the risk
of maybe compromising myself legally?
Every time you touch something, you leave a piece of yourself behind.
So your DNA is being left behind.
Your fingerprints are being left behind.
Even by us walking through this room,
we're constantly shedding dead skin
and dead skin contains DNA.
So we have a guitar right here.
Some tactical bags, Michael Jordan bag, circular saws.
We got everything in the book out here.
Everything one can imagine.
Safes blown open.
That's kind of awesome.
we're coming into the weapons room is that what
this is yeah so this is our gun room
we got swords too yeah every cardboard box has one gun
in it every blue bin that you see
has multiple boxes and bags in it how long did it take
to procure all these weapons
we have we have guns dating back to the 1970s
in here these are still open cases still open
cases yeah cold case homicides we destroy hundreds of guns every year
because we don't want
Criminal enterprise guns going back out on the street.
Makes sense.
So you have people out here flexing
that they are armed and they're not.
A lot of people think...
I mean, this is kind of a dead giveaway though, I guess, right?
It might be a dead giveaway,
but we legitimately have a gun in that room.
A real live functioning firearm that has an orange tip painted on it.
Because somebody thought if I paint an orange tip on it,
nobody's going to know it's real.
Okay, fair.
It's safe to assume anything could be a weapon, obviously.
This is a toy.
It's plastic.
It looks like a toy, but anybody can paint anything.
Whoa.
Okay, we got...
Vehicles in here. Are these stolen from villains? What's going on here?
All different walks of life with these cars.
Some of them are stolen vehicles. Some of them
are getaway vehicles used in bank robberies.
We got homicide vehicles where people have died in
these cars. We have these vehicles for any number of criminal reasons,
and we're storing them until
they're no longer needed for the criminal aspect.
Do you have people, like detectives,
come in here and take additional photos and study?
We have an entire crime scene unit.
That's all the crime scene unit does.
They're dedicated to assisting the detectives with their investigation.
Taking the photos, processing for fingerprints,
doing bullet holes, doing bullet trajectory
to figure out where did these bullets come from.
This is from a homicide right here.
This is from a double homicide, yeah.
You guys took this car that's been shot how many times do we know?
There are at least 60 bullet holes in this car.
And the soda's still in there.
This is almost, it's almost frozen in time a little bit
once you guys retrieve it.
So has the murderer been caught?
We're not going to talk about that one.
Okay, my bad.
Right, and we can do so much more here
in our controlled environment than out on the street.
The stickers say, if it says B, it's blood.
If it says T, it's trajectory.
So T is for bullet hole, B is for blood.
In addition to the vehicle seized from crime scenes,
the Lee County's car collection of their own
rivals that of Jay Leno and Whistling Diesel.
They're amphibious.
I've seen all of you guys' toys on the land.
What are some of the cool toys and gadgets
you guys have here in the water?
We just got two new jet skis
that we used this last weekend.
Okay.
And they help a lot with enforcement.
And with the support of Sheriff Carmine Marcino,
that helps out a lot with him providing us
with those additional assets.
Okay.
Like this boat, for instance,
it's 33 feet, has a full cabin,
protects us from the weather,
has 900 horsepower, get us up to 60.
plus miles an hour. Get us around the county
as quick as possible to respond to those search and
rescue calls as needed. Can we see this boat go maximum speed?
Yeah we can do that and we'll try
to do it here in a few minutes. Maybe we can race the drone.
Yeah we'll see who wins. Okay all right
let's give it a rip and see if our DJI drone can keep up.
We're witnessing a traffic stop in real
time. We got some folks speeding a little too fast right now.
How fast were they going? It's a slow
speed minimum weight you can use on full plane.
We about to give them a speeding ticket or what?
Ah, we'll see.
I said we spare them if I have any influence,
but we do need to give them a little slap on the wrist here.
I'm not the judge, jury, or executioner, but...
How you guys doing?
Woof, woof, woof, woof.
He's gonna make, he's gonna be the judge, jury, and executioner.
A lot of their job seems to be prevention and reduction of potential
speeding accidents or bullshit that may happen on water or what?
A lot of it's, uh...
Information and then also awareness
to make sure people are really, really well informed.
Hey, how you doing? I'm here with Nick Fernandez.
Nick, where are you from, man? Miami, Florida.
You're enjoying the waters today. I love Cape Coral.
So unfortunately, we stopped you two days after
your birthday for allegedly speeding.
What are your thoughts on the Lee County Sheriff Department?
Lee County, honestly, they're very polite.
Approach me with much respect.
I've been pulled over before in the water in Miami, Florida.
It's a much, much better experience here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It took me a while to find my license, but I did it.
So I couldn't, I can't say anything bad about them.
I've had nothing but good experiences.
Wow.
Lee County, hard, but reasonable.
I like that.
Thanks guys.
They were educated.
He saw that there was a difference in how
the other vessels around him were behaving.
And that's why he started to slow down.
He's like, there must be an issue here.
We're still having this problem because of the past hurricane,
but the signage is not all the way up yet.
So we have definitely have grace with that.
And we just want to make sure he understood his boating laws.
Today was just a verbal warning.
Everybody understood everything.
And now we're boating safe.
But if you push that line, you will get clapped.
Just like me a couple days ago.
