Video catches Pats employees illegally filming

The Patriots got caught in the act.

Video obtained by Fox Sports shows a member of Bengals security questioning a member of a Patriots’ video crew over footage the team shot of the Bengals sideline in Cleveland last week. It apparently was for a feature on an advance scout but has instead embroiled the organization in Spygate 2.0.

“This is a piece you’re filming on your advanced scout?” the member of Bengals security asks, to which a Patriots employee answered, “Yes.”

“Come on, guys. I don’t see the advanced scout in this footage,” the security member said.

Head coach Bill Belichick repeatedly has denied involvement in the latest Patriots video scandal, which could lead to New England being fined and docked a draft pick. Dave Mondillo, the supervising producer of Kraft Sports and Entertainment, issued a statement Sunday saying he “had no intention to provide footage to football operations.”

The video employee said he was trying to get field perspective, to which the Bengals security member responds that the video employee wasn’t shooting the field.

The video employee then said his team didn’t know they were doing anything wrong and added he’ll delete the video — which drew laughter from the security guard.

“The damage is done, my friend,” the security member said.

“No, it isn’t, because we can delete it,” the video employee said. A second Patriots employee then says, “Once it gets deleted by us, it’s gone.”

The Bengals security guard said he didn’t see the advanced scout, and according to Fox Sports, the security guard then brought over NFL security. The Patriots’ video team then handed over its tape.
