Caltrose25V5 Unrest

The Caltrose25V5 Unrest was a civil unrest that took place from April 3 to April 26, 2020 in which many angry players of California City Defense and California City Street Racers bashed over to CCTV Productions demanding to unban their accounts after they were banned for playing casual servers, many were arrested for it. This was the first ATBW Blog virus related unrest to ever take place, as it had not happened with any prior trojan horses from ATBW Blog.

One famous person arrested for attacking was Regina Wells, who was arrested and charged with trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest, and aggravated assault on a police officer after attacking and even trying to bite them as she was getting arrested. She was tased a total of 15 times before being knocked out. Despite the charges, they were eventually dropped and she was released the next morning with no court appearances. The unrest is also the main cause of the ongoing Caltrose25V5 Recession, which could take months for CCTV Productions to recover from the trojan horse attacks.

Many other players protesting, including Wells, threw mud and other objects, destructing and vandalizing CCTV Productions properties, both their studio building and their headquarters office, though most of the protest was mostly non-violent. A 24 year old woman was arrested at 2 AM on April 15, 2020 during the protest, in which she actually attempted to drive into the building. She was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and attempted assault, as well as some vandalism charges after driving her car into the entrance on purpose. A 20 year old was also charged with vandalism after spraying graffiti on the headquarters building reading "Unban Us!" on April 2, 2020 and an 18 year old was arrested for throwing mud rocks at the building on April 3, 2020.

at least 50 others protesting during the unrest were also arrested and the area between the two buildings of CCTV were so bad that the city even enacted a curfew lasting from 10 PM to 7 AM, which was lifted April 23, 2020 after it began to fade itself out. This was also another factor to the eventual Caltrose25V5 Recession, in which CCTV Productions has struggled over its finance. It is the worst ATBW related protest since the Graphite G3 Unrest five years earlier, which was a protest to get Graphite Escade's vore channel deleted, except that one was peaceful, unlike the Caltrose25V5 unrest.

History
After CCTV Productions banned the creation of any new community servers on March 29, 2020, three players rushed up the studio's headquarters and vandalized it, with them eventually arrested for vandalism. It started to get worse around April 3, 2020 with a 19 year old arrested for vandalism. Many more eventually started destroying the building for revenge after not being allowed to play community servers.

After it got worse, the city's mayor enforced an executive order on April 7, 2020, which banned anyone from going within 300 feet of the area and those violating it would be arrested. Additionally, a curfew that lasted from 8 PM to 8 AM near the area was in place and those violating it were arrested. From April 12 to April 20 of 2020, an 8 day long stay-at-home order was signed which ordered everyone to stay at home in order to stop the unrest, specifically those near the building. 70 were arrested for violating this order. To a lesser extent, 130 were arrested for vandalism and looting for destructing CCTV Productions's headquarters, as well as violating the executive order banning anyone from being near the building. The executive order made the protests worse and was eventually lifted alongside the stay-at-home order which also failed. Strict monitoring continued however, with police and CCTV Productions's security jointly working to protect the company's headquarters.

After being banned from playing casual or competitive modes, many more started raging at the company and vandalized it even more, eventually having to tighten its security near its HQ. The literal protests started on April 3, 2020 and the unrest continued until April 26, 2020 after the company reports the ransomware declining for good. A then 19 year old gamer Regina Wells however went there on May 1, 2020 and was arrested for trespassing. The trojan horse ended for good on May 3, 2020 and the two hackers responsible were arrested on May 13, 2020. They were sentenced on September 5, 2020 to 4 years in prison with 3 and a half years suspended. During the probation, they will be barred from having any electronics or any personal computers.

Meanwhile after it ended, CCTV Productions made many new rules and changed the way players play their games. These included hard recaptchas for every login or account creation and stricter rules on community server creations. Since May 5, 2020, all server operators are required to operate under a VPN exclusive server if they had one, or for those that didn't have one, the company would provide them with one. ACS Security has also been mandatory since March 30, 2020.

Despite the Caltrose25V5 Recession, CCTV Productions was still fully capable of buying Revolver Media on April 15, 2020 while its online department was dismantling it. From April 7, 2020 to April 29, 2020, an executive order was signed within the city prohibiting anyone from being within 300 feet of CCTV Productions or would face arrest if they were caught near it.
