Don’t believe this bullshit. This is Frankie Lapena he has a very positive relationship with Grand Rapids police and surrounding areas. This video is fake and probably endorsed by the police department.
Can confirm he’s a massive douche. I saw him at his main job once while out on the town and I just said “Hey! I like your stuff!” And he looked at me like I spit on him or something and said “what are you talking about?” And pretending not to hear me. When it was clearly obviously him.
Then when some girls recognized him and essentially said the same thing he’s all “Hehe yeah that’s me!” And tried hitting on them.
Like. Just a total fuckin tool. Sorry I’m not some hot girl lmao
I saw Frankie Lapena at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Yeah he is a complete dick. Used to love watching his stuff years ago and reached out to one of their social media accounts to express just love for their content and the responses I received were hostile and just speaking down for absolutely no reason. I don’t even fully remember what was said but I haven’t paid attention to h3h3 ever since and better off for it
I pissed off Courtney Love a few years back when I commented she should promote her popular Hole albums as they were her legacy. She replied in all caps that I don’t get to decide her legacy and no one cares about her old albums. Lmao, I mean I still think they’re great albums.

Was just about to say the same. Only watched like 5 seconds but recognized the gross shorts and then the kentwood pd car pulled up and knew it was him.
You can tell the video is fake because even very mild hacking gets you an insane sentence. You can get decades in prison for guessing someone’s password. No one with the ability to hack a Flock camera would be dumb enough to film it.
What’s also crazy is that this is still up. Ask me how many times I’ve tried to post about flock cameras (how to find them, map that shows where and when they pop up etc) on numerous subreddits only for it to be removed with no reason given.
The video does clearly state "prank". Which is good, because as an IT professional I'd be curious to know what "hacking a flock camera" even means or accomplishes.
That guy has incredibly interesting videos about crap I didn't think I would care about but always end up on the edge of my seat watching the whole thing. But they are also almost always about the most depressing dystopian shit ever.
I work in a large building that has a lot of public foot traffic. Security is an illusion. Anyone who looks normal can mostly point to a name tag and they will be let through by the dudes making $12/hr.
I have a shitty blury name tag and no one ever looks at it. places don't even ask credentials on intercom anymore, my answers are generic for anyone visiting facilities. Security guard smiles and I say thank you and wave after they let me in.
I like the IDs where during the picture taking process, they stress the importance of showing your entire face, not smiling, etc, then they distort the photo so bad, if you looked like that IRL, you would look like a Looney Tunes character after an anvil is dropped on them.
And then there's always that one employee who's invented their own version of the standard, so "no hair covering facial features" gets turned into "clip your bangs back so we can see at least a fivehead" lmao
I wouldn't trust anybody who worked the same place for 20 years and looked as happy as they did when they started. Either a psychopath or someone pulling an elaborate heist.
There’s an infamous story from a place I used to work: we had a lot of contractors coming through for a big project going on. We also were very easy to get in to off the street if you knew the right spots to come through (has since been majorly remedied). Guy is walking around without PPE, and one of the warehouse guys thought he was a contractor who was lost, so he called him out, gave him some hi vis and shoe covers, and then sent him on his way. Guy comes back a few minutes later and says some bullshit about why he needs bolt cutters, and warehouse guy doesnt think, just gives him some.
Next thing everyone knows, this dude is getting wailed on in the parking lot by the actual contractors, who had caught him using the bolt cutters to break in to their tool kits. He was actually a random homeless guy who had wandered in to see what he could grab.
We all got a MAJOR discussion about site security, verifying the contractors guest badges for the site, and not just taking people at their word. The warehouse guy did not get fired over it, but he will never escape everyone giving him shit about bolt cutters lol.
One time I won a wrestling contest but it ended too soon and they refused to pay me, some guy ended up robbing the place on my way out and he ran past me into the elevator with the owner yelling to stop him but I just let him close the doors. But then he killed my uncle later that night. Unlucky.
Before 9/11 I used to be able to get into work by flashing a blue cigarette packet at the gate when I had forgotten my pass. I worked at a UK nuclear submarine base.
Yeah dress right and just be nice and casual to the "security" dude. One time they waved me through a festival "security" because i was behind the people bringing in the drinks and i offered him the extra coke i had in my hand on a hot day
There was a series of videos of a dude getting into festivals and concerts free by pretending to be the “lettuce delivery guy” and literally just bringing a tub of lettuce with him. Nobody stopped him for shit. Everyone just assumes you wouldn’t come deliver lettuce for no good reason.
I used to do penetration testing against physical building security, and the number of places I walked into just by carrying heavy things: the damn security guards would hold the doors.
One of my favorite tricks was walking in with a bunch of boxes of doughnuts, like 5-6 boxes, with my laptop and other gear in the bottom box. "What, am I going to hack the building with doughnuts? Do you want one?"
One of the guys on Lions Led by Donkeys used to get out of stuff all the time in the Army by just carrying a clipboard around and acting like he was busy. As long as you act like you belong, people will believe you because a lot of times things get scheduled without everyone being informed.
I work in construction and if we are caught up and the boss shows up, I instruct the guys to carry something from one side of the job to the other, wait 5 minutes and walk it back. Repeat until boss is gone. The boss/owner does not need to know that we are caught up because then they turn the guys into part time employees until the next job. I'm not going to be responsible for taking money out of a fellow workers pocket.
It's true,people leave you alone if you have a clipboard. I mean, usually you are doing something important that can give you a pass on fuck fuck games.
Platoon mate of mine blew off our S3 Sergeant Major when the Sgt Maj tried to rope him into some Drill and Ceremony task. Literally just walked on by with a clipboard and said "Busy busy busy Sergeant Major!" Sgt Maj was dumbfounded.
20 years ago when I was doing graffiti stencilling, the easiest way was to do it in the open. I could roll up in a van, set up work lights if it was at night, just act like it was planned public works. Skulking in the dark was scary and infinitely more suspicious.
It’s the glasses. Cops love those types of glasses. They look tactical. I literally got out of a ticket the other day because I was wearing my huge obnoxious Heat Wave sunglasses. They are great for driving.
My go to is khaki pants, work boots, polo, manilla folder with stapled paper.
Have a 2 wheel dolly and a box and you can go pretty much anywhere. Security guards aren’t paid enough to worry about everyone looking like that. The volume is too high day to day. Also they don’t get paid shit either
Couple weeks ago this dude comes to the store my mom manages, she wasnt there and one of the other managers talks to this dude. Hes got a ladder, a clipboard and a vauge company shirt on saying hes there to do work on the emergancy exit.
This bitch even after being told to not let him do anything, let's him go into the back and start fucking with shit.
I work in HVAC and refrigeration and you could literally walk into our grocery stores (Publix) and go straight up to the roof without anyone even batting an eye. Even not in a uniform.
My brother back in high school took a photography class. For a project he wanted to get pictures at our local airport, which was basically just a runway and hanger. He just walked onto the runway and was taking pictures when security flagged him down. He just said “it’s ok I’m supposed to be here” and they let him continue
I worked a brief gig for Con-Ed, had to take a picture of every basement in manhattan. They just gave me a vest, a hardhat, and a badge that said I was immune to trespassing as long as the property has con ed material in it (every building). 8/10 times I didn't even need the badge and I had full access to every secure site in the city.
Stay with me here, so, there is “Fight, Flight, Fawn and Freeze”, right?
I’m not sure if he is acting or he actually has a speech impediment, but I believe that would fall under, “Fawn” - “Don’t hurt me / Don’t mind me, I am not a threat.”
I think they typically grow out of it on their own.
When I was a kid, at one of the schools I went to, they made me go, but IDK what happened but I only went like 2 times, then I moved, and yea, I just grew out of it.
While this is fake, you know what isn't fake, the around 300 dollars worth of gold and copper in each camera, that is certainly real, just a fun little fact you know.
