lt's not Kevin's fault.
Free Kevin. Kevin has nothing to do with it.
The broad quit me
'cause l was an alcoholic...
and l wasn't making no money.
l was broke, that's why she quit me.
The reason l don't have a girlfriend
is l don't have no money.
Oh, wow.
He seems like a nice guy.
Why would you want to do anything to him?
You think his girlfriend's gonna quit him
or something?
lt was time to go.
We was peeling potatoes
Back in World War Two
And we was playing that rock and roll
After school for you know who
Hidden from the public
lt was behind the scenes
There was a relic
With Kevin Mitnick locked away...
the phone companies of the world
felt safe from intruders.
But the fact remained,
many people were exploring all the time...
online and off.
Allied SignalAerospace...
Sprint PCS up there...
lnformix,
Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems....
You're scaring me.
lt's like this flat area where there's no trees
or anything, just industry
Oklahoma, the state that created Hanson.
People kept telling us our sound guy
looked like one of the Hanson brothers.
Since we were going through
their hometown, Tulsa...
we figured we'd go
to one of Tulsa's bustling malls...
and turn the Free Kevin campaign
into a Hanson campaign.
We could use the publicity..
and if we could confuse some Tulsans
in the process...
all the better.
And it sure wasn't hard to do that.
Once we'd confused people at the mall,
we headed over to Oral Roberts University...
in the hopes that the Religious Right
would climb on board.
When the vice president of the university,
came down the stairs with a golf club,
we took the hint.
There wasn't a golf course for miles.
Hellflower, Satan's power
You grow more beautiful by the hour
You feed our hearts
And you free our minds
With the essence of the souls
that you devour
Shrinking violet makes the scene
ln the formal garden of the queen
Bloody Mary, so contrary
They had a hard time getting into my place.
l had the bedroom door closed,
so l didn't hear the pounding on the door
They were pounding on the door
out there for a good 10 minutes.
on the cellular phone...
and leaving messages
on my answering machine.
''This is the FBl.
We're at your door. Open up.''
l wasn't there when they searched my home.
My mom had to get me from school.
My dad was the only one home.
They thought...
that he was me.
They were looking for somebody
that was an adult.
When they found out that l was like, 13...
they didn't know what to do.
l think when they walk in
and want to take things...
they should be told to go to hell...
take what they want, we'll see you in court,
don't even talk to me.
The problem, of course, is that
hackers don't have the resources to do this.
They want to try to get off cheap...
so they cooperate and they plea bargain...
and they end up pleading guilty
to something they didn't do.
And that sets the record bad
for them going forward.
l think if people had the resources,
or if there were an organization...
dedicated to helping people,
to providing the resources....
You know, something that's much more
than just a dummy front...
such as the EFF.
An organization that's actually truly willing
to help in those matters...
that we'd see a lot more progress
along those lines.
The government, for once...
would have to start conforming
to the same laws...
that they're supposedly enforcing.
We were detained for two hours
in the parking lot.
There were 13 police officers
and l think five or six police cars.
l told them what was going on...
but they seemed to think
there was more going on than there was.
Without my consent
they took my box of crystals...
even though they admitted
they didn't know what they were.
They took anything and everything
that had magnetic media on it...
or had an electrical plug on it.
They took other unrelated items
such as a woman's purse.
l'm not quite sure howthat fits
into the scope of their investigation.
Every business card l had.
They took everything
just to make life difficult on me.
They told me they're not trying
to chastise me...
and then one of them said...
he used to play with baseball cards
when he was a kid.
They would be searching my wardrobe.
l'd be standing there with the guy
he's asking questions...
and he's going through every pocket
in my wardrobe.
Then it suddenly dawned on me...
l don't have to stand there.
So l walked out of the room.
He stopped searching the wardrobe
and walked out with me.
lt was very obvious.
Their tactics weren't meant
to actually accomplish something.
Searching every pocket
of every shirt in my closet...
that tactic wasn't meant to do anything
except intimidate me.
They showed up at my friend's house...
where a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old
had just been put to bed.
They came storming into the house
with guns drawn...
ran up the steps...
and said,
''Freeze! Secret Service! Don't move!''
l was sitting at the keyboard of a computer,
so l looked extremely dangerous.
l was thrown to the floor, handcuffed,
and hogtied, and all that...
and dragged out. l told my..
friend Ellen Fisher, who was there,
to call my lawyer, which she did.
They kept telling me to shut up.
l was taken back to the police station
in Havertown, Pennsylvania...
and locked in a cell for about three hours
while my car was searched.
interviewed me...
or interrogated me, wanted to know
what l was doing with the crystals.
And l said l was making them
available to people.
He tried to get me to say l was
committing fraud with them which l was not.
He gotvery irate that l wasn't telling him
what he wanted to hear.
Eventually they locked me
back in the cell again.
They refused to let me call my lawyer.
ln fact, my rights weren't read to me.
There were many instances
in which l told them...
l wanted to consult with my attorney...
and they said, ''That's not a good idea.''
They wouldn't let me get an attorney
So finally, when...
they all shifted from my apartment
to searching my office, actually at work...
l got to drive down in my own car.
l called an attorney...
and by the time they were at my work,
so was an attorney.
The agent in charge, Ken McGuire,
in particular...
gave me a very nasty
and disappointed look...
at the fact
that l was willing to protect my rights.
lt's really amazing.
He really gave me one of these:
''You shouldn't have done that'' looks.
''Now you're really in for it.''
NASA people told my parents l was cocky...
because l told them
l had cops tell me pretty well straight out:
''We really didn't want to harm Junior..
''so we took his computer
and gave it to the boys...
''over in traffic management,
and it was just really groovy.''
Wait a minute. You're like,
''You took this kid's equipment?''
