Capturing the Friedmans
Well, this is private,
so if you don't,
if you're not me,
then you really shouldn't
be watching this,
because this is supposed to be
a private situation
between me and me.
This is between me now
and me in the future.
So turn it off.
Don't watch this.
This is private.
If you're the fucking,
oh, God, the cops.
And if you're the fucking cops,
go f*ck yourselves,
because you're full of shit.
seized some child pornography,
addressed from the Netherlands,
in the mail to Arnold Friedman.
Now, he never got that
piece of mail,
but his name was
forwarded on to us.
So what we would do then
would be to initiate
a correspondence with
Arnold in the hopes
that we can determine if he is
in fact willing to violate
the statute again about mailing
or receiving child pornography.
"Dear Stan, the book is
Joe, 14, and his uncle."
I think I'd like you to send me
something, sort of good faith,
and I will forward this rather
precious book to you.
"Thanks, Arnie."
See, it's very hard
to believe that
this so-called "good
marriage" was so disturbed.
He sent him these pictures,
and he sent him a note
that I remember, because
the lawyer got the note.
And then he wrote, "Enjoy."
Since he had sent the magazine,
he was always asking
for it back.
So I asked the prosecutors,
"Let's grant him his wish.
I dressed up as a mail carrier,
knocked on his door,
asked him if he was
Arnold Friedman.
He replied he was.
And I said, "I have
a package for you."
Sign right here."
He did.
About an hour later,
we went back.
We would give him some
time with the magazine.
I'm dressed now.
I just put a blue suit jacket
over the carrier's uniform.
And I told him, "I have a search
warrant for child pornography."
