Crimes YouTubers Were Saved From

What if I told you some of YouTube's most popular creators should have gone to jail, but the law saved them? From a YouTuber who broke into Mr. Beast's bedroom to another who got away with wrestling an endangered species, I'm breaking down how they escaped the legal consequences of their craziest moments. Starting with Mr. Beast, the crime begins with Aishow Speed being pulled over by police. They tell him it's because they have a warrant for his arrest over skipping a court appearance on a speeding ticket. Speed is quickly handcuffed, put into the back of a police car, and then brought to prison. When he gets there, the inmates inside begin hazing him. Eventually, Mr. Beast appears. — Welcome to my prison. — Which is where things cross into potentially serious criminal territory. It turns out that Mr. Beast had sent police officers to arrest Speed and bring him to jail as a prank. Since Speed was taken by force and moved to another location, that could be considered kidnapping. And since Mr. Beast stopped him from leaving. That could be false imprisonment. So, why wasn't Mr. Beast charged? Well, most likely it's because Mr. Beast and Speed are friends, and Speed most likely knew the clip would go viral. Next is Arak, who breaks into Mr. Beast's bedroom. It starts with Ara hiding inside a giant Amazon package. He then gets his friend Beans to dress up as an Amazon delivery driver and attempts to get past security at Mr. Beast's front gate. — Hey, I got a big package. It's — Let me just see the paper what he gave you. I don't have anything. — Don't go in the back. — Okay, thank you. Holy The gate's opening. — Once they're inside, Eric cuts himself out of the box, puts on a disguise, and walks into the kitchen of Mr. Beast studio where he starts eating company food. So, there are three crimes here. First, entering the property like this would be criminal trespass. Second, because they lied to the security guard to get through the gate. That trespass happens by fraud. And the third crime here involves the food. by entering under false pretenses and taking them without permission. Even if it's just snacks and drinks, that can be treated as burglary. So, how did the law save Ara? Even though Mr. Beast had no idea Ara was sneaking in, the head of security did. And luckily, he had given Ara permission to film the entire stunt. Next is Kaisenat, who sets off a massive amount of fireworks, destroying his house, and gets away with it. The stream starts with Kaisenat and Mr. beast sitting with a large tower of fireworks stacked behind them. A friend comes in with another firework, begins to joke about lighting it, and then puts it in the middle of all the others. Kai and the friend BEGIN FIGHTING. — OH MY, THIS IS NOT EVEN SAFE. Dumb ass. Don't do it. — Because Kai feels like it would be extremely dangerous. Mr. Beast quickly leaves and then the friend lights him anyway. It won't be no. All right. What about y'all hate me, bro? It turns out that this was a full-scale replica of Kaisenat's room, and they had built it to blow it up. Normally, they'd be charged with reckless endangerment and maybe arson. But in this case, the law would treat it as a controlled stunt. All the way back in Australia, a YouTube group called Misfit Minds came up with a prank to plant a fake speaker at a restaurant. Customers would pull up expecting to place an order, only to hear misfit minds messing with them through the fake intercom. — Angus Burger Bill, please. — Just an Angus Burger meal. — Good boy. — Do you mind if you just turn your car off? I can't quite hear you. — Turn the car off. — Yeah. — Good boy. — One customer was caught completely off guard when one of the boys started yelling his order through the intercom. — Can you speak up? — Me? — Yeah, you. Who else am I talking to? — And another customer became so upset that she simply gave up and drove away without ordering anything. — Okay. Well, I just had a look and um I think the ice cream machine's broken, actually. — You know what? He's kind of right. This is like the shittest Hunger Jacks I've ever been to. — Excuse me. — Bye. — Where you going? Now they've escalated from annoying customers to actively preventing the business from making sales. By causing customers to leave without purchasing anything, Misfit Mines directly interfered with the restaurant's ability to generate revenue, putting them at risk of being charged with obstruction of business. Because Misfit Mines left after filming and were unlikely to return, management probably decided it wasn't worth pursuing. But had the restaurant pressed charges, Misfit Mines could have faced fines, criminal records, and jail time for what they likely saw as a harmless prank. During one of his videos, Niko Alana found himself in Chile with one goal: See penguins at a protected colony. Nico and his crew arrived just as the park was closing, and the gate attendant wasn't willing to let them in. So, Nico hatched a backup plan. Drive into a spot outside the restricted

area and use their drone to capture footage of the penguins from above. But flying drones over protected wildlife areas without authorization is illegal in Chile as it can disturb protected wildlife and violate airspace restrictions. Shortly after launching the drone, Nico spotted a park ranger coming straight for them. — Oh my gosh. Oh my god. They're coming quick. — Nico and his friends panicked. They grabbed the drone, jumped into their car, and took off. By fleeing from a park ranger, Nico could have been charged with evading a lawful authority, escalating this from a simple drone violation into resisting public authority, punishable by up to 2 years in prison. Fortunately for Nico, the ranger eventually gave up the pursuit. Nico got away with this because by the time park authorities could have filed a complaint, Nico and his crew were already out of the country. Melk Boys have built their brand on pushing boundaries, but during their trip to Japan, they left even their most loyal fans questioning if they'd gone too far. The Neelk Boys connected with a fixer named Dr. Allen, who claimed to have direct access to the Yakuza, Japan's notorious organized crime syndicate. Allan offered to arrange a meeting with a highranking Yakuza leader who was actually wanted by Japanese authorities. Allan made it clear that this wasn't a joke. The person they were about to meet was a real criminal. Someone law enforcement was actively searching for. Some of the Neelk boys started having second thoughts, questioning whether they should go through with it. — Drop me the off. Seriously, can you please drop me off? — But they went ahead with the meeting. They sat down face tof face with the Yakuza leader and asked him questions about his criminal operations and what life in the Yakuza was really like. — How does someone join the organization? When the video dropped, the comment section exploded with one question. How is this legal? In Japan, harboring or concealing a person who's committed a crime is illegal. But simply meeting and interviewing a wanted person is okay as long as you don't actively assist in hiding them or obstructing law enforcement. But the Neelk boys didn't just interview the Yakuza leader and leave. They ended up partying with them into the night, drinking together, and talking with women from his entourage. By spending extended time with the known fugitive in a social setting, the Nekboy potentially crossed into providing companionship or social cover, which could be argued as assistance. Japanese authorities likely determined their actions didn't rise to the level of criminal harboring and by the time the video was posted, the Nekboy were already back in the United States. David Dori is one of the most popular creators in the world. But after the pandemic, he completely stopped posting. So when he decided to make a comeback, he knew he had to go big. David and his friends went to a lake in Utah, rented a massive excavator, and came up with a plan. attach a rope to the excavator's arm and spin people around like a makeshift carnival ride. Members of his friend group took turns swinging from the rope while David operated the machine. Then Jeff Whitick jumped onto the rope for his turn. David began spinning him around, but this time the excavator was moving much faster. Without accounting for the extra speed, David abruptly stopped the excavator's rotation, and the sudden stop sent Jeff flying directly into the metal arm of the crane. Jeff suffered a fractured skull, severe damage to his left eye, and multiple facial injuries. Years later, Jeff is still undergoing surgeries to repair the damage. And he eventually filed a lawsuit against Dori for negligence, seeking damages for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. But while David's actions were reckless and caused serious harm, prosecutors likely determined they didn't rise to the level of criminal recklessness. David didn't intend to cause harm and the incident could be characterized as a tragic accident rather than a deliberate act. So, he'll likely get off without any criminal convictions. Holston, better known as the real Tarzan, has built a massive following by getting up close with some of the world's most dangerous animals. But he then posted a video that made the authorities start a formal investigation. The video filmed in far north Queensland, Australia, went viral with over 22 million views. and what it showed was shocking. In it, Tarzan is seen getting out of a boat and heading toward a freshwater crocodile. The crocodile tries to swim away, but Tarzan dives onto the animal, wrestling it as it thrashes in the water. His arm was visibly bleeding, and another crocodile could be seen lurking nearby. After the video went viral, the Queensland Department of Environment confirmed they were investigating and stated that interfering with a crocodile is a significant offense, not to mention extremely dangerous. If Tarzan was caught in the act by local rangers or police, he would have been arrested and

deported from Australia. But pursuing international charges for wildlife interference is complicated, expensive, and rarely results in prosecution. Tyler Olivera has built his following by confronting criminals directly on camera. — Hey, my friend. Do you think you'll hit someone again today? — But during a trip to Paris, Tyler didn't just document crime. He found himself in the center of it. I'm just going to go in for it. — Tyler and his team identified scammers operating near the Eiffel Tower, targeting tourists with fake petition scams and pickpocketing. It then looks like Tyler confronts one of them by spraying him with water mixed with fart spray. The scammers immediately react aggressively. Then the situation escalates into a full-blown street fight. — Spraying someone with a chemical substance is assault, even if you're doing it against someone who may be a criminal. But there's two reasons why he wasn't charged. First, the scammers themselves were criminals who likely didn't want to involve police since doing so would expose their own illegal operations. Next, Tyler says the spraying was done in self-defense, which if true, could be a legal defense. Had the French police arrived during the altercation, Tyler and the team could have been detained and held in custody while authorities determine whether the force was justified or whether they charged them with assault.
