Serial Police Impersonator Forgets His Body Cam Is On

On October 30, 2019 Corporal John Ramsey of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office initiated a traffic stop on a black and white tow truck for speeding. During the stop it was determined that Jeremy Dewitte was the operator and had several outstanding warrants for impersonating a law enforcement officer and illegally recording a person's phone conversation without their knowledge. The warrants were a direct result of body camera video seized from Mr. Dewitte in association with his arrest on September 7, 2019 (footage on this channel).

Dewitte was transported back to the Sheriff's office where he was interviewed by Corporal Ramsey. During the interview Dewitte stated that he maintains videos at his office for the purpose of dealing with complaints from motorists while performing escorts. With that information in hand, on October 31, 2019 a warrant was obtained to collect evidence from Dewitte's place of business.

The original footage underlying this video was found on the desktop of a Metro State computer, in a folder titled “Jay's cool stuff.” In the original video, the funeral escort ends around the 20 minute mark. But Jeremy's body cam recording doesn't. Watch what it caught.

Enjoy.
