LEGAL ISSUES UPDATE AND SCRAP METAL RUN 

Continue being the stand-up man that you are. I don't fix cars, but enjoy your calm demeanor when watch working on your truck or cars (my family always shared an abundance of 4 letter words when they worked on cars). Congrats on finding a way to help our environment and your wallet. Keep up the good work.

Glad to hear the DA Had way more sense than the cop who wrote the tickets. Congrats on the Win !

Yes. Weird Beard, think a second channel on scraping would prove useful. When that happened. I told you to fight it. Glad of the outcome. Thank you for sharing! 💯👍👊

Mike, the plywood, if in good condition can be value added. People who do pottery need small, (18" 12"), roughly, pieces to work on. You would need to seal them though, so the water doesn't affect them. You could get quite a few out of a large sheet. 😊 You did the right thing there Mike. Congrats on beating the rap. Some 'Tackleberry's' let stuff go to their heads and want to bust everybody. I do a bit of scrappin' myself, so I would like to see more videos on this. Trouble is, I end up coming home with more stuff than I took to get rid of. 😁

Thanks WB sure glad you got out of trouble.

207th! Happy HUMPDAY MIKE! Take it to THE MAN! Beat those tickets. Would love to see more scrapping videos. Some of the things people find is mind blowing. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

Interesting and informative video for sure! I am as bad as you at saving stuff, good piece of metal, wood, etc. I pick up free or almost free flat screen Tv's and get them going again and sell them. But mostly have kept family and friends supplied with nice working Televisions going on ten years now and at 73 years old it keeps me busy doing something. So happy you got that mess taken care of. You da man!

You’re an honest dude - you were treated accordingly by the person with a damned brain and common sense. Great stuff Beard! glad to see you’re out of all that hot water.

Mike, Glad you stuck it out and prevailed! FYI: I mentioned your showing the CWMs calendar in a comment to Scott and he said he really enjoyed watching you do projects. So as you already know you have a solid friend in Alberta! All the best!

Awesome! So happy to hear all that mess is in the rearview Mike! Glad they were cool and dropped all that nonsense.

Glad everything worked out for you. I support anything that keeps you making the project videos.

Solid content! Some people look down upon scrappers until they see how much they make daily. It is an excellent side hustle. Thanks WB... always good to view your uploads.

I hope things get cleared up. As you know, you are actually saving the dumpster owners money--they aren't gonna scrap, they are gonna pay by the ton!

Hi Weird Beard. I'm relieved that your legal woes are behind you. As far as I'm concerned, you're too nice a guy to have to put up with that stuff. As a long time viewer, I'm happy that things worked out well for you. 😂😂

I love the scraping videos. I would watch anything you upload. I am a diehard fan of this channel.

A written agreement is always a good idea. Glad you won.

Great video..scrapping is interesting content and you are doing a service keeping that stuff out of the landfills. Love your channel, keep up the good work because we all learn from you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I put a loft in my garage and used free plywood for the floor! Nice find, Beard!

Congrats, very cool you stood up for your self. God is good. By the way love the scrapin and that old truck behind you has the coolest grill.

Weird Beard (Mike) All 🇺🇸 American. A hard working man who provides. Keep up the great RU-vid content whatever it may be, I personally enjoy a everyday guy getting things done. Thanx!

Glad it worked out for you. I think if they throw it away, it far game. Thats just my thoughts. Looking forward to more dumpster diving!!!!

Just like the videos you do when you go to the pick a part. I enjoy those and the videos you do on scrapping.

Glad you could get the charges dropped Mike, as the cops were out of line from the start. It's awesome that business and construction company was willing to help, hopefully a big weight off your mind 🙂 Interesting to see how you go about the scrapping, my brother has done a bit here and there and its definitely something we plan to do more of 👍

Mike, I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time now it seems man. Really like how you went to the auctions to check out the cars then win them and fixed them up for sale. Your new scraping videos are just as good! You always had great content and I’m Glad to see your back! See ya on the flip side brother! 😉

I’d be happy to follow your scrapping adventures Why Not ! Your helping the Environment and more ! 👍

Yep, bring on the scrapping vids! Congrats on getting the legal stuff sorted too.

Hey Beard I will start and call You lighting, Bud You never hit the same place twice! LOL LOL

Weird Beard - Glad to hear your charges and scrapping dilemma has been resolved. Keep doing what you've been doing. I love your videos - all your videos... Are you still flipping cars? Would love to see a car flipping video - it's been a quick minute since the last one... Take Care... Glad you didn't have to pay any fines - the DA had a heart and conscious...

I love scraping videos thanks 👍

When I first got married back in the early seventies my wife and I were pretty short on cash for furniture for our apartment. We used to cruise the streets on large trash pick up days and scavenge for dressers, tables, large pieces of wood, etc. Usually the furniture just needed some glue and screws to be repaired and some paint or stain.to make it nice and usable. It's amazing what people throw away!

I'm definitely interested in your scrap videos. I'm glad everything worked out for you with your charges. Keep these videos coming Mike.

First time watching , loved the dumpster diving for scrap .scrap video,s are the best .Lisa .NewZealand

Yeah! Thats just crazy! All involved should be all for saving the enviroment! But some cities do have ordinances on dumpster diving witch sucks Ive been in dumpsters when property owners rolled up on me some company recycle materials themself! Glad it all worked out! Take care my friend!

I've done a lot of dumpster diving. Can't tell how many good items I've found over the years that I could use one way or the other. Apartment complexes are one of my favorites because people just toss out even new stuff so they don't have to move it.

Good to hear that you got the charges dropped, to me it makes as much sense to fine someone for scrapping (as long as they aren’t stealing) as it would for arresting someone for sweeping the sidewalk or picking up trash. keep on scrapping, it helps the environment.

I dig the scrapping videos. Id watch them all!

Good deal on the legal issues!! Definitely would enjoy some scraping videos!

Yep please show more of the scrapping videos! And more car flips like you used to show

a second channel , Awesome . would like to see more of the 72 Plymouth 👍

I'm glad it worked out for you. I have a thought... Would it be worth your time and effort to talk to the various construction companies in your area, and get a written permanent agreement from them stating that you are allowed to remove scrap from dumpsters at any and all of their work sites? That way all you would have to do is show the letter to the cops the next time they stop you at a dumpster -- which you know they will do because that cop had his ego hurt.

I got excited seeing that plywood. That stuff has gotten pricey.

Oh it's great to find out you went through this unscathed and got to keep your money in your pocket I know here in Rochester, New York we have all kind of scrappers with old junkie pickups and they pile those things up high because that's the only income and the authorities around here. Don't bother them at all unless there are posted signs which I've seen before but very rare

Good on you the only time i have had a problem with dumpster divers is when they pull stuff out and dont put it back

This is such a common story of common sense. When is the government going to get common sense?! Glad you came out okay!

With all the extra wood, you should build a shelter for the blue and white car in your shop, I think you need that extra bay for all your projects.

Congrats on the legal issues! I'm so glad they worked out in your favor!

It would be fun to see you turn that scrap into a go-kart or something. Maybe a small dump trailer. A wind turbine from those fins? Just tossing out ideas but I understand it's just for the scrap.

Yes I am really interested in the scraping video its cool keep on doing it. Thanks for the update and congratulations man glad that's over.😉

So glad it all worked out for you little brother. Great video. Keep doing what you are doing

Happy that things worked out Sweet.😀

Great to hear the D.A was sensible with you, I guess that Cop was just having a bad day? and Yes I personally would like to see a second channel for scrapping etc.

It is crazy the amount and quality of stuff we throw away in America. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Big win for the bearded warrior, congrats. 👍

Second scrap channel, letttttttssssss gooooooo!

Glad you came out of this okay WB might have to add another W for Wild Weird Beard the way you unloaded your scrap from the back of your P/U .......Take Care Guy !

My father in-law scrapped after he retired and did rather well, the good thing is recycling. Good for you 👍

Nice one WB. Just wear a hi-viz jacket and you'll probably never get disturbed by anyone 😄

Just an interesting dude ! I prefer the build videos but you and your daughter are entertaining regardless of what you are doing

glad everything worked out for you. I like the scrapping videos since i do that myself

Years ago, I got pulled over by a cop. I was pushing a rusted out grocery cart with my laundry. Cart only had three wheels left. Sure enough, he accused me of stealing the cart (someone had left it in my front yard). Cop asked: "Do you have a bill of sale for that cart?" He just liked busting a broke college student doing his laundry.

Dang strait I would take the sheets of wood. You know what building materiel goes for. I with you brother

Most judges would dismiss the driving without a license if you show in court you renewed it.

This is cool Mike and entertaining! What about hot water tanks and old betteries ?? How about car scrapping some cat converters are worth coin ! Be cool to see csr scrapping and seeing old junky cars can be entertaining too Mike. Keep it up mike

Glad you beat that charge. You were actually saving the construction company money as they pay by either weight or volume to dispose of the materials. As far as talking smack to the officer, your 1st amendment right allows you to cuss or call them an idiot or MF. They just have to take it. (not that it's a good idea to do so) There are cases where certain construction waste has value and they could have already agreed to sell it. That's where permission comes in. You're a good man and keep doing what you do!

🗿💨 this looks like evidence thats there's value being wasted.. Good luck and🙏🙏 on your case. I've recycled all my life, nothing wrong with being resourceful 👍 thanks for sharing

The scrappin' stuff is cool... If you have plenty of content then i say def. do a 2nd channel for it... I'm sure you will get alot of people that would be more into that than the car stuff so you might as well take advantage of both platforms... Glad you was able to prove them wrong on the charges and got that cleared up for yourself... Keep on sharing your content and we will keep on checkin' it out...

A few years ago I got caught dumpster diving. by security. It turns out that whatever is in the dumpster belongs to who ever owns the dumpster. The security guard was nice and let me off the hook and all it cost me was a pickup load of railroad ties.

Like said in the first ticket video ..." Never Surrender"👍

I was always of the understanding that once you put anything in the trash outside on the curb or in a dumpster it becomes public

I built a complete 3 axis CNC machine from industrial scrap stages, drives, controls, and power supply. About $30k in parts. A scrap computer running LinuxCNC (free) drives it all.

Glad it seems to be working out for you,

I love scrapping. Even if it's just at my house. It gets addictive.

Some cleanup/demo crews use roll offs and scrap themselves so you gotta be careful but when it's mixed you're probably ok.

Glad you beat the crappy charges.

Great video dude. Love all your videos no matter what you are doing keep up the great work

Kinda surprised that you don't pull the reflector grids out of those lights. Most I've seen are aluminum. Good luck with your court date!

When you talk SHT that's how they're going to treat you like SHT. My cops friends tell me that don't lose your kool. Cuz when you start speaking FRENCH tickets to SIX FLAGS over Tx. start flying & remember your on candy camera. ( Candy to them cuz they keep your money ) Bueno sir all is well be standing by for the next video stay safe & Golden.

Are you pulling the ballast resistors out of the florescent lights they pay pretty good by themselves!!! A lot more then shred!!

Being honest, working hard and doing what others won't do to make a buck is good.

Back in 2002 when I was a Electrician we replaced 2x4 Parabolic Fluresent Fixtures like you had in a whole School!, Those things were heavy!, We had 3 big roll off Dumpsters on the job and filled them at least 3 times with those things!, Don't know how many there were but it was a bunch!

I would like to see more scrapping videos I live in Newalla Oklahoma and do a lot of scrapping myself and I use Al’s recycling to

I used to watch a channel where dude would dumpster dive behind GameStop. Would be interested in any treasures you may find.

Hope they dropped the obstruction charge as well! Congratulation WB.

love the videos love the content! keep them coming. kick ass and take names/get permistion!!!

Good Ya Mike great to see you got a good DA who let you get the permission statement from the construction Co. That cop I think over stepped the mark as scrappers are doing us all a service man you put some work in for the money you make as long as your heads above water that's all that matters. You and yours be well catch you on the next one.

Were the diffusers aluminum in the one style of light fixture?

had a friend that built his house for 3,800 dollars , it was 3,800 for the foundation and the rest of the house was free from 10 years of dumpster diving construction sites , the entire house free and it was not a junk home it was a luxury home

Glad you were able to get out of that mess. But, at least you know now. A second scrapping channel would be great!

The only issue is that someone is paying for that roll-off and they are hoping to get money back for scrap. You in essence are stealing if you don’t have permission to clear out that dumpster. Still admire your work on the vehicles. Stick to that and make your money that way you have talent that aa lot of people dont. 👍🏁

No video of "grand theft scrap "- you missed an academy award.

Good to hear from you brotha

Good to hear you came out okay with all that nonsense, and i think it would be good to have a second channel for scrapping and other odd jobs

go for it 2nd channel on scrapping fantastic idea

Would it work to keep some of the flat sheet steel for body panel repair

In my state the fines say you need to pay it up front to contest the ticket. But If you contact the court they will let you contest it without paying it in full. So basically the tickets make it sound like it's going to be hard to fight it if you don't have the money ahead of time. I just wonder how many people don't fight them because of it being on the tickets. The tickets make it seem like you are guilty until proven innocent.

When you get that stuff out of a dumpster it's fair game to anyone to get and nobody can not say nothing or do nothing

I live on assistance and am on Paine killers opiates so my memory is poor so I can still count on one hand that I have been charged driving with a expired license I know how you feel .

A general principle of law is that if it's outside in the trash it is abandoned. Cops use this to search trash without a warrant.

So my friend Mike is a #badass, sometimes police just need to help the city collect $$$ Been a victim of this before.

Man you did good on the lumber haul. Them fence panels are up there now like $50 a piece or more. Good score! It all adds up in the end. 😉✌
