A documentary from 2000 when the Clearwater Police were working their off duty hours for Scientology. I was working with a group opposed to Scientology. This video exposed what I believed to be a bias against us.
TRhe Clearwater Police department should be under FEDERAL INVESTIGATION and prosecuted if necessary for showing clear bias. The POLICE who participate in this should be thrown in jail.
Most of Scientology's leadership should be in jail.
Did you see the 60 minute Australian documentary where they showed that the Clearwater Police Department vehicles were stalking journalists on behalf of Scientology. When I saw that episode air I paused the video and called the Clearwater Police Department to report the vehicle ever since then I have been unable to find the vehicle and I feel like they took the video down because I reported it to the Clearwater Police Department which is corrupted
and were still dealing with it 9 years later
Scientology is connected to the Federal government. Getting a human rights lawyer to fight this organization connected to our government is the best course of action.
This is one of the best videos on UA-cam today. These people are so sinister it's unbelievable. As a judge in Britain once said " . . sinister, evil and corrupt."
seems like you need to change the rules of, "No off duty work will be allowed". If the cops want to work for scientology...let them...but they wont work for the city...period
this is a terrible Miscavige of justice. :p
+Michael McGrath Miscavige of justice...awesome.
LMAO omg I love that kind of humor I know its cheesy but I live for it.
Mickey Knox L. O. To the fukn L!!!
An excellent documentary on a shoestring budget. Very, very impressive.
Five stars.
Have you seen the South Park Scientology Episode?
It exposes Scientology completely and dealt a death blow by proving that it is founded on the belief in parasitic aliens who fly old 1960 DC-8 planes and are ruled by the demon Galactic Emperor Xenu, Hubbard himself is inadvertantly narrating.
HA HA HA!
South Park just seemed to touch on the one Zenu story, some e-meter stuff, and Stan being L Ron reincarnate. South Park never said anything about all the abuse of critics, the corruption of police and legal system, the prison camp, murders, spying and tracking people, and many more ridiculous seeming things, than a space ship story.
Your getting the information from South Park!? Wha----
Tom cruise is there in Florida right now using children as slaves to remodel his penthouse as long as these hollywood elites are there it's like Tom Cruise John Travolta Kirstie Alley Catherine Bell the abuse is going to continue. Don't you know that these hollywood elites believe that they are better than everyone else ?
@@ninamartinez2239 When you say "hollywood elites" I immediately think you're one of the whacko Q-Anons that think there is mass satanic rituals being performed and shit. I DO agree with what you said here, 100% but just telling you that that phrase has kind of been co-opted by the American Taliban aka Y'all-Qaeda. In closing, Fuck Scientology. :)
@@johnybalohnythank you.
And America let this happens to its citizens. I wonder why.
it's what america is based on , lies and control ..
Money
I'm so glad this cult is losing members by the dozens. Though Slappy Miscavige will tell the opposite.
Its been 16 years since this was posted and still this behavior by the Clearwater Police continues????? WTF
Just love Leah, Mike, A&E, & all ex-scientologist for bringing the truth to the World and saving families!!!!
Great job, Mike. You are a brave man who has all my respect, to be sure. Very impressive to see how long you have dedicated yourself to this task. Not only our culture, our country, but cultures everywhere need more brave men like you.
Here,here
Man, you’re committed! Much respect and thanks
much respect to you guys.. i would have gone to jail that night, throwing them blows.
Nice job here, Mark... I am surprised it hasn't gotten more media play, especially in the current media environment...
I don't know where you are with Knowledge Report at this point (tearing hair out? :-/ ), I remember you raising post prod funds while back.. ant help there, but drop me a line, would you?
This was pretty damning, clear and effective. Nice job.
It is sickening what happened to the LMPT... and what happened to her of course...
I thought Scientology was supposed to change the world., make it a better place. Love their disrespectful language and confrontational demeanor. Looks like they are part of the problem of hate. They should take lessons from the Amish who really do ignore people bothering them and just walk away.
Thanks Mark for continuing the fight against these poor excuses of human beings. I mean the Clearwater Police force too.
We need more people like you exposing this cult!
this sounds like an awesome place to raise a family. such a good wholesome community with a great police department. ill truly get to find out what it was like to be a normal citizen in germany when adolph was around.
Absolutely outrageous that this police force is not under investigation. Is it still happening in 2013?This video is a superb example of Scientology's true brutal nature.
Mark , I applaud your work and dedication in keeping the world informed. The internet and their fascist tactics will eventually bring this cult down.
Take a look at Scientology's "Fair Game" policy: Founder of Scientology, Ron Hubbard wrote that church enemies can ''be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.''
Clearwater Florida is a cesspool of corruption the governor of Florida needs to bring down the state police, the states attorney general, and state investigators down in Clearwater to clean up the corruption....The governor has the power to fire police, police chiefs and other city officials......
This just made my skin crawl!
This is why I avoid Clearwater like the Plague. It's a shame too because as a lifelong Floridian we used to love to go to Clearwater and enjoy the beautiful town and beaches there. But If the Clearwater Police want to take the side of Criminals then I guess they don't want anyone else to visit their town. I will be glad to oblige them and take my tourist dollars elsewhere.
Woah this is a brilliant documentary!
5 stars from me again.
Why is the FBI not checking on these people?
First amendment because of their tax exempt status. If you want to destroy Scientology, you have to get rid of their tax exempt status.
This is really scary, sick situation.
It's awesome work!
Did the situation with police get better?
I hope it does.
Damn, Mr. Bunker, you are a better man than I. I would not have the courage to allow these clowns to "confront" me "peacefully" (according to the Police Department's definition of what "peaceful confrontation"). I am very sure that I simply would not have the courage to remain sufficiently "peaceful" with people like the guy who stuck his face "into" your camera. Literally "into" your camera!
The clock is ticking.....David !
Good job exposing these idiots man.

wow Florida wire tapping law says as long as your in public where there is no reasonable expectation for privacy it is ok to capture audio and video
lol i like how that guy walks up to the camera and puts his face right in it then has the audacity to say "get that out of my face."
Follow-up please!? What's going on with this police dept. now that these things have been aired for years?
I like to imagine, at around 15:34, ramming into him as hard as I can, sending him backwards down the stairs. Every single time. I guess I'll know I no longer have any anger issues what I can watch this without feeling like that.
Looks like Clearwater PD and Hollywood PD need to be investigated and held accountable
Lol. Like thats going to happen.
never stop telling the truth. you are not alone. it is time to remove corrupt police.i wish you well....
Mr. Bunker, is this still going on?
I would like to know why the FBI has not investigated the Clearwater Police Department for civil rights violations. This is completely outrageous in a free country. It's time for the federal government to step in and put a stop this.
This is horrible. I've never liked Scientology but I never saw it as a threat. I do now.
Great footage. Keep up the good work.
It is sad that the integrity of the Clearwater PD seems to have been compromised by the CoS.
Thank goodness for the Lisa McPherson Trust and those who are keeping the PD honest.
This is crazy shit.. Something needs to be done.. This happened years ago.. I wonder if it is the same now or if things have changed..
Clearwater taxpayers should stop paying property taxes until clearwater PD is cleaned up
I was planning to retire there. No more.

Blaming money for evil is like blamnig bullets for shootings. Evil has no single external root that can be blamed because it comes from within the individual. To blame money or any other inanimate object for the bad behavior of individuals is to shift blame away from the real source.
Mark, where did you go? You made a lot of good videos, last I heard you were working on a documentary too, but haven't seen anything new from you in a long time.
Given all the negative press the church has endured in the decade following this video, is this still the case? It seems it would be a lot harder for the church to get away with this sort of thing today, but maybe I'm being naive.
Mark, this stuff is a quarter of a century old, did you do anything about this when you were on City council?
The conditions existing in 2000-2001no longer exist. The police chief allowed officers to work off duty for Scientology which put officers in a compromised position. After the LMT closed at the end of 2001, the officers lost that cushy job. Now officers may be hired by Scientology to do crowd control at an event once or twice a year just as any other church or business can do but it does not happen on a regular basis. Since moving back to Clearwater in 2013, I have never had a similar problem with the police. They have always behaved professionally. When I was elected to the council in 2020, I had a good working relationship with the police. Even though I led the charge to adopt body cams for the officers, the police union endorsed me for re-election.
Wow. This is crazy.
Who cares if Scientology buys off cops...unless they have crimes they're hiding? So Bunker, WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES?!
This was from 2000. Does anyone know if this still goes on?
I live in Clearwater fl and I see these freaks everyday trying to recruit people .
*This*
This is why we protest.
Dear Jesus, please smite the leaders of this cult and release its members from its diabolical grip. Much appreciated.
The Police Chief (interviewed at 6:30 and other times), bears a disturbing resemblance to C. Everett Koop.
Hating evil doesn't make you good.
This is unbelievable.
Wow, these people make Fred Phelps' family seem like your friendly next door neighbors.
What does that have to do with anything? And why do scientologists always answer to any question with that same answer?? What are YOUR crimes? They avoid all the questions.
Scientology data is so, so simple I often say,"It is so simple, I can't believe someone wrote it down."
Where is the FBI in all this???
These corrupt criminal scum need to be fired from the police department.
The POLICE should be thrown in jail.
@seansalvador1 There's scientology church in London. At its commisioning, they had an official of her majesty's police speak about the wonderful things scientology has done and will do.
@rdaws73 Is it still like that with the cops? If so I am steering clear of Clearwater
OK, so I'm about ready to accept that the Clearwater PD is under Scientology control. But even if all the "small" incidents are outside of federal jurisdiction, there has to be _some_ way for the state to get rid of a rogue police department. I mean, what is going on here? It's so _obviously_ sinister!
Someone needs to put a stop to this scientology crap those people are nuts
I don't think I come to anyone's home uninvited because it is a private property, so I think you can't come in or hand around at the church because it is a private property.
what a bunch of lunatics
If these crimes really went on then why didn't the federal gov't shut the organization down(not just the certain members) Why is this allowed in this country.
Money Talks....seems to sum it up pretty well.
I can see why it is so popular....
You must watch it
Scientologists Gone Missing | Psychiatric Crimes and Drugs|Kidnappings
Keep fighting the good fight ram CHEERS.
because they are in on it, plain and simple
Mark Bunker reminds me of a quote from the bible:
"The path of the righteous man [Mark Bunker] is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men [Scientology/Scientologists/David Miscavige]. Blessed is he [Mark Bunker], who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak [Scientologist] through the valley of darkness [Scientology], for he [Mark Bunker] is truly his brother's [humanities] keeper and the finder of lost children [Scientlogists]. And I [God] will strike down upon thee [Scientology/Scientologists/David Miscavige] with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers [humanity]. And you [Scientologists/Scientology/David Miscavige] will know my [God] name is the Lord when I [God] lay my vengeance upon thee".
Mark Bunker is truely doing the lord's work 🙏.
Has this matter yet been resolved?
Similar to what the Jews did with our federal government
This IS a serious issue.
Too late, guys. Gary drank the WHOLE PITCHER of KOOLAID!
All these police officers should go to jail.
Wow...what a cult...why are they not being put in jail...brought to justice?
call in the feds, man! Scary shit!
My best friend's mom read Dianetics in the 80's and went to Fl to check it out. She was brainwashed and we (including her family) did not see her again for 2 years. His dad had to pay them 10's of thousands of dollars for them to send her back... TO HER FAMILY!
I am curious, did they phsically keep you there?
Inform the chief justice.
Chief Slaughters name at 20:27 ... "we dont do special favors" my ass
A word comes to mind... Scientology is "Bull"
FBI need to step in
I too have spent many weeks reading and watching videos about this insane cult. I feel totally helpless stuck up here in NE Pennsylvania, I want to act. Anyone know of any anti-scientology movements up this way?
It appears Dennis Clarke the bully had a stroke and apparently was abandoned by Scientology according to reports. He asked over help but was ignored.
+Joel Graham i looked this up and discovered this as well. it's so ironic that he spends his life as loyal attack dog and then is simply ignored when he is old and sick and can no longer attack.
Good!
Im Not sorry thats Just Karma to him!! Another LRH Alien believing Nutcase!!
I'm from St. Pete myself, and I made it a point to never venture into Clearwater due to scientology being so prevalent there. I'm ashamed of the Clearwater P.D. for basically doing as little as possible, if not actively covering up crimes of scientologists, one coming to mind was a supposed suicide of the son of a member of the church in Clearwater. the son was clinically depressed and was prescribed antidepressants and the church told the father to convert him to scientology in order to cure his depression and to get rid of his meds that a psychiatrist prescribed because all drugs are bad and all psychiatrists are evil, which the father did by hiding his meds in the trunk of his car. The cops found the hidden prescription after investigating the "suicide," of the son, who was found shot in the father's apartment, and before calling 911, the dad called a church representative first. Then when questioning the dad, cops allowed her to be present and take an active role in the questioning. they claimed that they couldn't find the through and through bullet in the small apartment, they didn't do a gun power residue test on the son, they didn't hold the father responsible for stealing and hiding his son's medication when he was ordered by the church to do so prior to the son's death, they were very incorporative with the mother (not a member of the church) when she was inquiring on her son's suicide case and was asking if certain tests were performed, such as the gun residue test, because she didn't believe it was an open and shut case of suicide, and the police were giving her the run around and refusing to answer legitimate questions from a grieving mother who had every right to inquire about the suicide of her son, and despite the delayed call to 911 by the father, who opted to call a P.R. member of the church first and after having hid his son's antidepressants in the trunk of his car prior to his suicide, leaving his son's depression to go into over drive from being abruptly cut off from the meds he had been taking to control his depression, which was most likely the key factor that led him to take his own life, if in fact it was a clear cut suicide, the police didn't investigate further, closing the case as soon as possible and had basically shut down any and all inquiries made by the mother. The police station is a stone's throw away from Flag base, a.k.a. the main headquarters for the church of scientology, and the church is constantly doing fundraisers and donating to the P.D. and city of Clearwater, which in turn gets the church favors, if you will, from police and the city. And that suicide case is but one of many and it's appalling. I'm glad I moved out of Pinellas county, far away from the mecca of scientology and the corrupt city in which it resides.
file racketeering charges against the Clearwater pd
Have you all tried to speak with the police oversight commission for the State of Florida? Departments have been decertified for crap like selective law enforcement
I'll keep my ass in St. Petersburg with the Pill Heads no moving to Clearwater for me.
im From Tarpon and i love clearwater in everyway, except for scientology. I dont have a problem with their beliefs but i have a problem with the way they treat people and charge hundreds and thousands of dollars to get all the way to the top.
I see these people walking the streets. They look like they can care less about people.
I might move my ass to Brandon/Riverview to be away from them all. Then I'd have an easy commute to Ybor. Or Bradenton for secondary consideration.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea these things were happening. It is shocking that government organizations could become so corrupted and controlled. I wish there was something I could do.
This is a great, informative piece. Excellent.
Dear Mark, any change you can upload the whole interview with Ray Emmons? I've been totally fascinated by him since he came to my attention. i have the deepest respect for you, how you handle yourself and keep calm while the most vindictive "church" in the world tries to get at you, you are a hero too many.
Mark-thank you for posting this! Have things gotten better in the last 15 years?
we need more of this type of documenting! It’s absolutely horrifying that police are this blatantly corrupt and a full investigation should be done.
Hire the local PD for off duty security and pay well. Over time, the individual police become accustomed to that legal extra cash and adjust their personal budgets accordingly. Eventually the police, individually and collectively come to regard you as a benefactor to be protected. This is how an entire police department can be co-opted by a well-funded organization.
Never been involved with Scientology (thankfully) but have a lot of respect for people like Mark Bunker and others who shine a light on corruption in organizations such as this. Unbelievable that this criminal cult is allowed to flourish in our country.
You (WBM) were on (as far as I can see) a Pubic Street and Public Sidewalk.
Here in LA, the police told me, when Scientologists tried the same trick ("You cannot
film me w/ out my authorization")----That IF someone is in a PUBLIC area, anyone can film them. Check CW to see if the laws are any different: I doubt it. Good video!
