American fork doxxed my social security number
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
The speaker is extremely angry at the American Fork Police Department and two individuals he names: Josh Johnson and “Aman” (also referred to as Aman McN). He claims the police department released or “doxxed” his personal information—specifically his first and last name and his Social Security number—by posting it online in connection with body-cam footage and/or related coverage.
He argues that this was reckless and possibly illegal, and that it has caused permanent harm because the information is now archived and cannot realistically be removed.
Claims About the Police Narrative and Other Individuals
The speaker says the police narrative is false. He describes Josh Johnson and Aman as chronic liars, arguing they accuse others mainly because they were “caught.”
Defense of Brian
A major focus is the speaker’s defense of Brian (referred to as “Brian Mancel”). The speaker calls him the “sweetest/nicest guy” and insists that police (and/or their sources) wrongly claim Brian threatened the complainants.
Body-Cam Footage Interpretation
He states he has reviewed the “unredacted” police body-cam footage, including moments where officers allegedly cover parts of their cameras while deciding what charges to file. He believes these segments show inconsistencies that support his claims.
Detention/Arrest and Phone Search Dispute
A central theme is the speaker’s belief that he was wrongfully detained/arrested after his phone was taken, which he claims was locked or being managed in a way that should not have triggered a search without a warrant.
He maintains:
- There was no warrant and no probable cause.
- Officers searched his phone anyway.
- He tried to assert his rights (including referencing Miranda).
- The interrogation/treatment was irrational given what he says he was actually charged with: “locking my phone.”
- He was under stress and was filming content for a YouTuber, and he believes the situation escalated into legal trouble despite being non-criminal in his view.
Personal and Ongoing Consequences
He emphasizes consequences beyond the arrest, including:
- Loss of work
- Financial strain (including bond and cash-advance/fee burdens)
- Ongoing retaliation-like stress at his job schedule
He also repeats a claim of being targeted while asserting that the publicity has had an unexpected effect: he says it was “good” for Brian because fundraising via a GoFundMe allegedly raised enough money for Brian to be “made whole.” He calls this ironic, arguing that efforts to stop or discredit him instead increased attention.
Criticism of Media Coverage
The speaker criticizes how media framed the story:
- An article, he claims, focused on a joking line about having a high IQ, treating it as evidence of wrongdoing rather than recognizing it as satire.
- He calls the coverage incompetent.
- He suggests the police department may be protecting wrongdoing by others.
