The first time This MBox has been accelerating around Times Square in New York City, he didn’t know that this life was changing.
He was plunged into his friend’s car, a driver who was known online as a pressure or pressure. Benz, which MBox says, was 21 years old – and got rid of driving in the early hours of the morning. The two was not armed with anything but the camera, pressed the BMW, and the shared tendency to “viral”.
The video they finished that night, running the red lights, avoiding waste with other cars, doing donuts at intersections and even driving back to one -way street, all with speed It shows a lot. After posting to YouTube last year, the film was seen more than 11 million times. Their brand seemed to be increasing – at least until the New York Police Department was involved.
On May 21, the Deputy Commissioner for the Operations Commissioner, Case Demmy, proudly released in X, which NYPD was in detention. Officials referred to a reckless driving, including outside police. But when NYPD accused Antonio Ginsery at the time and linked to social media accounts in the New York Post report, it was a third -degree attack that the law enforcement declared that a few months ago was due to an irrelevant incident. Daughtry claimed: “One of the most prolific street races in NYC can no longer treat the Great Apple like Indy 500.”
There is only one problem: MBOX swore that the nyPD man shows the wrong man as a pressure.
“I don’t even want to deal with it too much, but this was someone else. They don’t have real pressure. (MBox, like other YouTubers Wired, interviewed for this story, refused to provide any identification details.)” Real Pressure Right In Is beside me – he is not publicly specified. ”
Writing all this as a courage from a bunch of fast -paced prosecutors, except one thing will be easy: in September, more than three months after Ginestri’s arrest, while he was still in custody, a new movie in This movie appeared squeeze.benz YouTube Channel. The film shows several vehicles – which is said to be destroyed by pressing and performing donuts in the center of the Columbus and Times Square, which are hard to deal with their car caravans. The process.
This is one of the obstacles to the clips uploaded to the channel that has more than 735,000 in common and uses high -speed filming films around New York City. Together, MBOX and SQueeze have gathered a huge basis for car enthusiasts and adrenaline junk – and set the scene for the most dangerous YouTube new niche: “swimmers” who torture speeds through woven traffic Become.
The process, partly led by the deceit of the Internet and the fame of social media, has become a center for NYPD, which seems to be determined to eliminate it. Now, drivers swear they intend to legalize them before arrest or worsen.
