COURT CASE SUMMARY

State of Nevada (LVMPD) v. Jose DeCastro

On April 17, Mr. DeCastro filed a Federal Lawsuit in retaliation for this arrest.
DeCastro v. Las Vegas Metro. PD et al

On March 15, 2023, Jose Maria DeCastro was charged with Obstructing a Public Officer and Resisting a Public Officer when, while broadcasting live on his Delete Lawz YouTube channel, he recorded himself interfering with a Las Vegas Metro Police Department traffic stop. His information briefly appeared on the Clark County Inmate Lookup website. Based on a video posted by Mr. DeCastro a short time after the arrest appeared on the court website, and the fact that his jail information was removed within a few hours, his time in jail was relatively short.

On Tuesday, March 19, 2024, Jose DeCastro was found Guilty on both counts. He was sentenced to 90-days on each, with the sentences to run consectutively. He appealed to theNevada Eighth Judicial District Court. In the meantime, Mr. DeCastro filed a motion for bail and release pending his appeal. On April 1, 2024, Judge Zimmerman DENIED the motion. He then filed a motion for bail and release to the Eighth Judical District Court, which was denied on April 9, 2024.

On July 10, 2024, DeCastro's appeal to the Nevada Eighth Judicial District Count was heard. Judge Levitt granted his appeal and reversed his conviction, allowing him to be released from the Clark County Detention Center around July 11, 2024 after serving approximately 130 days of his sentence.

Our Mission

To present the facts about a controversial social media personality and self-proclaimed 'constitutional legal scholar' who may be misinforming and harming the public with commentary that can be viewed as anti-law enforcement, anti-free speech. His reaction to negative or opposing viewpoints often leads to charges of harassment or other legal action, the exposing of critics personal information, and copyright strikes on videos used under the Fair Use doctrine. With the vast number of document locations, our goal is to become a single resource for viewing all the publicly available material.

They are public records. ThePublicDocuments.com obtains these files from Internet sites, or directly from the parties listed above. If information appears to be inaccurate or incomplete, contact the person, organization, agency, or corporation responsible for originally releasing the information to the public.
