If you were being belligerent then you'd get a drunk in public but I don't see how a power wheels is treated any different than someone in a motorized chair
Technically yes. Same with a bicycle. You don't have to register a human-powered vehicle if you somehow managed to get it over 20 (some states say a vehicle has to get to 20 or 30 to be registered) just have to know public tox rules in your area.

I dated a dude who got a public intox charge for walking home from a bar. It was literally across the street from his house. Less than 40 feet, but the officer was camping in the bar parking lot. Officers like this are just on a power trip. Edit: since some people in this comment section seem to have problems with ambiguity in any statement, let me clarify: the "power trip" I am referring to is the fact that the officer called a tow for the toy car. Something that the obviously struggling man would be forced to pay for if he ever wanted it back. Not for the fact that he was high/drunk in the street in the dark. Even then, though, he could have given him a (justified) public intox instead of a DUI. It's just another example of an officer making someone's life harder just for the fun of it.
@@shiitaklee being high on meth on a public road linking counties in the middle of the country where people speed at night frequently and visibility is low due to corn in a slow unlit battery powered vehicle and proceeding to fail a sobriety test isn’t a crime warranting police intervention or arrest? Common sense would lead most of the world and probably that entire community to disagree with you. Lol. Quit crying. “Unfair 😭”
So I live in the same town as the powerwheels guy. The guy would pretty consistently cross intersections on like 4 lane roads, he wasn’t afraid of driving in the street. After he got out he did actually get the pink powerwheels. Idk what’s happened to him now but he was a hot topic for a while, and I’ve seen him every now and then still whipping it in his “car”
Yo I live in the same town too lol. I’m not gonna say it but we both know the town. He actually lives right behind my girlfriends house and he’s got like 5 of ‘em
If anybody wants to know what happened... He was sentenced to pay 389 dollars and got 369 days on supervised probation and got his license suspended for 1 year now that baffles me..
He has a solid court case here, defining this as a 'motor vehicle' and charging him to the same extent as if he was drunk driving a car on the highway when it was a kids toy going 4 mph on the sidewalk is ridiculous, he'd be in more danger if he was on a bicycle yet in that case he'd only get a slap on the wrist by their logic
An intoxicated adult can easily cause a lot of problems in anything that isnt self propelled be it property damage or driving it into oncoming traffic. Your sarcastic ass doesn't make that less so.
Reminds me of that Top Gear ep where they talk about the handicapped guy who got caught "drunk driving" a mobility scooter. So the government took his license away, and then said he could keep driving the mobility scooter anyways.
That's especially fucked up because a person's wheelchair is necessary, obviously, and a lot of users consider their mobility aid to be a part of or an extension of their body, so it's like someone having a DUI and losing their license because they were walking home drunk.
This is a perfect example of why the police shouldn’t be expected to deal with everything, especially drug-related issues. This man didn’t need a trip in a cop car, he needed an escort home and rehab. The fact that he’s done this multiple times and there’s clearly no system in place to actually fix the problem is proof of how broken things are.
A system that specifically addresses meth addicts doing silly things like riding a power wheels at night is not going to end up the way you think it is. I have spent time around the mentally ill, homeless, and drug addicts. They can be very dangerous and they don’t tend to listen to people, especially people who aren’t in authority. Most addicts don’t want to be in rehab and I’ve seen mentally ill people have to be physically tied down and injected with medication when they were surrounded by trained mental health professionals. You would be putting people, including the the addicts, needlessly in danger
You’re right; a free Uber ride home will make any man realize his hazardous behavior, and convince him to contact, and enter rehab IMMEDIATELY. Pretty sure he mentioned being stopped, and let go several times by other officers; yet, for some reason, hasn’t gotten off meth, weed, or booze yet. 🤔 C’mon bro, that’s 13 y/o logic.
@@Corrupted-file I can’t tell if you’re being serious. The point isn’t just to give him an Uber, it’s to connect him with a group that’s actually trained and qualified to help him right then. The cops are notoriously bad at this kind of thing. Arresting him isn’t going to fix this. We need social services in place to deal with drugs, overdoses, etc, and we just don’t have that right now.
Cops are neither your doctor nor your therapist. They exist to uphold the law, which this guy seems to have broken. If he needs rehab, he should get some help. He's a grown adult, not a child that needs to be told what to do.
@@Sebastian-hg3xc Yes. That’s the point. Cops aren’t the ones who should be in charge of this, so they shouldn’t be sent. If we had the right social services in place and we could send in relevant experts in mental health, rehab, etc. for this situation instead, then people like him could get the help they need and cops could stick to things like violent crime. You’re right that he should be in rehab. That’s exactly the solution I’m advocating for.
This story was certainly unexpected and it seems the law enforcement may have overreacted somewhat. It's clear the individual made a poor choice in driving while intoxicated, regardless of the vehicle's size, but it appears the follow-up actions were not entirely proportionate or fair. To tow a toy car and impose such charges seems excessive especially when it appears others had allowed him to compromise.
8:40 "They search his vehicle and find nothing noteworthy, I half expected them to call a K9 unit..." It would be funny if they called a k9 unit and someone brought a chihuahua or a large toy dog.
7:26 I legitimately thought the entire reason was because he was on the road the entire time if this video. If he was forced into the road due to obstruction, this only gets crazier.
Yeah, but this guy is drunk. Public intoxication. Plus, he's on the road with zero lights to show that he's there. He's endangering himself and other people.
@@ChaoticGoodPeasant23 hes not the fast one, the people who will crash into him because they cant see him are the people going fast he wouldnt survive a highway speed crash...
There are 2 types of cops in this world: the kind shown in this video, and the kind that would pull him over to just give him a ride home and tell him to be careful.
I had a powerwheel when I was a kid. It died a little while after I got it, so my dad put a full-on car battery in it. I drove that thing in circles around our house, it was so fucking fast. Then it started to leak acid and I had to get rid of it.
1:52 the car passing by must be like “Wha- wh- what- the fuc? Is that an actual police officer pulling over a man in a power wheels?! Must be a slow night damn!”
Look I am not from America so I can only give you how it is handled in my country. When drunk you are not allowed to drive a vehicle not even ones where no license is required. Where I come from they take your license if they catch you drunk driving a bicycle.
I've always wanted to do this unironically growing up. Not the DUI part, but just driving around my neighborhood as a teen or semi-adult, and just cruise around the park or sidewalks
@@lilgabriel0517 i know g just fucking around all good lmao 🤣 i got the picture just that miswording was mad funny to interpretation. Making a funny situation in my head lol have a blessed night brother
5:16 If that's the case and it legally qualifies as a vehicle, then every single power wheels-type toy would have to be registered through the state, insured, and have tags and a license plate. So what I'm hearing, from a legal perspective, is that every single owner of a power wheels-type *TOY* is currently breaking the law in that state, because nobody in their right mind meets those requirements. I'm just saying they should take this to trial and all the way up to the Supreme Court, because that sounds a lil fishy to me.
You are correct sir, This isn't the only situation or law like this. The government can bend and twist the convoluted and endless laws they have to convict anyone for anything. With this everyone is a criminal, everybody just doesn't realize it until some bs like this happens to you.
2:18 If Uber isn't an option, implying that he took the powerwheels from his local bar back to his house. (Though editing this after watching more apparently he claims he HAS been driving it around, which is certainly something.) He's inebriated and it's dark, so he does actually pose a danger to himself if he nods off into traffic or something. But wacky to actually tow the "vehicle" and go to these extremes for what's obviously meant to be punitive.
Might have been drinking at a friends and had permission to use the kids Power Wheels. The bar isn't the only place to drink, in fact it's literally the dumbest place to drink. Pay the price of a 12 pack for one drink? I'm good. And if they were worried about him killing himself he would've just spent a night in the "drunk tank" instead of hitting him with all those charges. These guys literally TOWED the thing to further "prove" their ridiculous point it's a legal vehicle. These cops don't give a shit about him.
Another shockingly out of touch take from this channel. If you're gonna put yourself out there by doing social commentary, be prepared to get called out on your terrible takes. Everyone has wrong opinions about things, no one is perfect, etc., but man Charlie has some legitimately shallow and braindead views on a many number of things.
By that logic, shouldn't you be taken to jail for stressing yourself into a heart attack for being bothered by someone using a power wheels? There's a reason why this guy was given a pass for 9 months until people like you decide it's good to jail them for their own good. What he's going to swerve into traffic that's several feet away going 2 mph?? Stupid logic
Arresting a man for driving a power wheels whilst intoxicated because it’s technically a “vehicle” is like if the UK Police were to enforce Section 32 of the Salmon Act 1986, which stipulates that it's an offence to “handle salmon under suspicious circumstances”.
Judging by the semi passing the scene, it seems like he was power wheelin' down a state route near industrial complexes without any lights. Despite being in a toy, which isn't unsafe for him, the likelihood of him causing or being involved in a fatal accident was quite high. Either a semi or a car halling ass down that road so late at night would've never seen him. Honestly, the traffic stop probably saved a few lives.
He wouldntve gotten a dui of he was on a bike, which is much faster than this thing, some people WALK just as fast as a power wheels. It isnt safe, no, but a suspended liscence? HE CAN STILL DRIVE THE POWER WHEELS WITHOUT IT. The shit was out of spite, not to keep anyone safe. They shouldve just given him a warning or something of the sort about not being in the street.
The Officer was probably scared, that if he puts the Powerwheel next to the guy, that he will hop on it, bust through the doors of the car and escape into the nearby forest.
My uncle got a DWI on a lawnmower 20 years ago on a backroad in front of his house because he had a beer in his hand. He was just mowing in front of his yard lol.
So you mean to tell me that in Indiana, a drivers license is required to operate a "Disney Princess Jeep Wrangler Ride-On Battery Powered Vehicle with Sounds & Phrases for Preschool Kids Ages 3+ Years"?
probably not a license as those are for certain classes of vehicles. like you don't need a license for a bike or even an E-bike but it's still classified as a vehicle when on public roads.
Possibly not if it's considered a slow moving vehicle. Which has to be marked with a special triangle reflector plate. This is commonly done for Amish buggies, lawn mowers, farm machinery, etc. The problem is he didn't have the plate.
Petty and pathetic. As a police officer, your most important duty is to protect citizens. I’m tired of seeing cops making petty ass arrests just because they “have the authority” to do so. So what if you have the authority, my man John wouldn’t hurt a fly. I understand we don’t really know John or if he has a history but it’s exactly as Charlie said, it’s just sad to see cops focusing on these easy pickens instead of getting the more dangerous people who will actually hurt or kill others.
Ridiculous reason to jail someone, seriously. "Ahh yes, i could take powerwheels drunk, but if its all the same criminal offense, might as well take the vehicle that can kill others instead of this toy car."
Neither. He drives a real car, he could hurt people or worse, driving a power wheels on the road without lights, doing well under the posted speed limit can do exactly the same thing when a car comes up on him in the dark and swerves and has an accident. Neither of your examples are appropriate for someone.
@@paddington1670except he’s not in the middle of the road he’s on the side of the road. When there’s no sidewalk you can travel on the side of the road. He’s clearly doing everything he can to stay out of the path of oncoming traffic. He is more predictable and less dangerous than if he was on a bike or an electric scooter but he would not get a dui under Indiana law on either of those. This is a cop on a power trip looking to fuck up a dudes life further with a DUI
@@paddington1670 So tell him get out of the road or take the power wheels. You dont slap handcuffs on the guy and make him pay fines and have a dui on his criminal record.
@@steamtasticvagabond474 oh I’m sure the incredible speed and maneuverability of the power wheels is too much for a drunk person to be able to control he should definitely be on a bicycle that requires coordination and balance and has the ability to move far more unpredictably. Cause that’s safe enough of transportation for him to not get a DUI according to the law and this cop
I think the issue was that he was driving one of these things at night with no lights, and the drunkenness means he is more likely to make poor decisions on where he should drive.
I can't even laugh too hard at this video because I'm the guy that got pulled over in a pink Barbie Jeep when I was a teenager. I was going downhill drifting around a corner in the middle of winter. I made it so my wheels spun freely though.
Charlie, no lie. My boy got a dui like 14 years ago riding a hoverround mobility scooter on the sidewalk. Legit rode it to the store to get more beer. Got pulled over with a 30 rack of bush in the front basket. When he showed up to court the judge dismissed it. We still don't let him live it down
I had a pocket bike and got pulled over on it and they called a flatbed truck to tow it 😂😂 I paid $50 for it and they wanted $300 to get it out I was like nice try and abandoned it
"no, not the pink one" I grew up with the pink one. Normally I prefer blue but the correct color for battery powered jeeps is Barbie lol. I will also mention, they have a lot of rules specifically about things like non-standard vehicles on the road where I grew up because it was very rural. Those rules were designed to deal with people on 4-wheelers, farm equipment, and riding mowers. Lots of areas didn't even have sidewalks so options were limited, and because they'd be putting cars or pedestrians at risk there were rules on how to legally/appropriately manage those situations.
I mean it's innocent transportation for kids so he can't do much while drunk... until it's one of Grind Hard Plumbing's multiple Powerwheels with engine conversions installed.
He may be in the lanes. As you can tell there is no sidewalk or large shoulder in that street. He's probably weaving in and out of driveways while also being on an actual road. That's a hugeee hazard
Charlie does a great job on this video of not taking sides and accepting there may be circumstances changing the outcome that weren't caught on video. Doesn't always happen though
The cops should have checked him for an illegally concealed nerf gun, no telling what his plans were that night.

So I live in the same town as the powerwheels guy. The guy would pretty consistently cross intersections on like 4 lane roads, he wasn’t afraid of driving in the street. After he got out he did actually get the pink powerwheels. Idk what’s happened to him now but he was a hot topic for a while, and I’ve seen him every now and then still whipping it in his “car”
Yo I live in the same town too lol. I’m not gonna say it but we both know the town. He actually lives right behind my girlfriends house and he’s got like 5 of ‘em
@@bodiedoo4460 wow I knew he had more but I didn’t expect that many lol
@@bodiedoo4460bros got that GTA online garage 😭
Y’all live in a VERY interesting place…
If anybody wants to know what happened...
He was sentenced to pay 389 dollars and got 369 days on supervised probation and got his license suspended for 1 year now that baffles me..
It's like they just wanted to throw the book at this guy. Also I feel like that implies that you need a license to drive a toy power wheel
He has a solid court case here, defining this as a 'motor vehicle' and charging him to the same extent as if he was drunk driving a car on the highway when it was a kids toy going 4 mph on the sidewalk is ridiculous, he'd be in more danger if he was on a bicycle yet in that case he'd only get a slap on the wrist by their logic
It’s just kicking people while they’re already down
thats a vary lenient sentence for a DUI. He didnt spend a day in prison and does not have to register as a felon.
what fucking license did they suspend bro it was a goddamn power wheels 😭
Power wheels is a vehicle now? Better take it away from all the children since they don’t have licenses. What a joke
An intoxicated adult can easily cause a lot of problems in anything that isnt self propelled be it property damage or driving it into oncoming traffic. Your sarcastic ass doesn't make that less so.
What happens when he gets hit by a car that doesn't see him because he has no lights or reflectors?
@@Imugi007what’s the difference if he is in a battery scooty puff junior or walking? Neither has lights or reflectors.
@@Imugi007Tell him to use the sidewalk. Obviously. This is not a great big mystery.
@@Imugi007Its a fucking child's toy.
Reminds me of that Top Gear ep where they talk about the handicapped guy who got caught "drunk driving" a mobility scooter. So the government took his license away, and then said he could keep driving the mobility scooter anyways.
I find that horribly sad because your mobility aid is more like an extension of your body, not a vehicle...
That's especially fucked up because a person's wheelchair is necessary, obviously, and a lot of users consider their mobility aid to be a part of or an extension of their body, so it's like someone having a DUI and losing their license because they were walking home drunk.
The reason he was still allowed to use the mobility scooter is that you don't need a license to operate one in the first place.
@@phaedrapage4217 Yeah but they took his license away for that. Which is basically just discrimination against the handicapped.

This is a perfect example of why the police shouldn’t be expected to deal with everything, especially drug-related issues. This man didn’t need a trip in a cop car, he needed an escort home and rehab. The fact that he’s done this multiple times and there’s clearly no system in place to actually fix the problem is proof of how broken things are.
A system that specifically addresses meth addicts doing silly things like riding a power wheels at night is not going to end up the way you think it is. I have spent time around the mentally ill, homeless, and drug addicts. They can be very dangerous and they don’t tend to listen to people, especially people who aren’t in authority. Most addicts don’t want to be in rehab and I’ve seen mentally ill people have to be physically tied down and injected with medication when they were surrounded by trained mental health professionals. You would be putting people, including the the addicts, needlessly in danger
You’re right; a free Uber ride home will make any man realize his hazardous behavior, and convince him to contact, and enter rehab IMMEDIATELY.
Pretty sure he mentioned being stopped, and let go several times by other officers; yet, for some reason, hasn’t gotten off meth, weed, or booze yet. 🤔
C’mon bro, that’s 13 y/o logic.
@@Corrupted-file I can’t tell if you’re being serious. The point isn’t just to give him an Uber, it’s to connect him with a group that’s actually trained and qualified to help him right then. The cops are notoriously bad at this kind of thing. Arresting him isn’t going to fix this. We need social services in place to deal with drugs, overdoses, etc, and we just don’t have that right now.
Cops are neither your doctor nor your therapist. They exist to uphold the law, which this guy seems to have broken. If he needs rehab, he should get some help. He's a grown adult, not a child that needs to be told what to do.
@@Sebastian-hg3xc Yes. That’s the point. Cops aren’t the ones who should be in charge of this, so they shouldn’t be sent. If we had the right social services in place and we could send in relevant experts in mental health, rehab, etc. for this situation instead, then people like him could get the help they need and cops could stick to things like violent crime.
You’re right that he should be in rehab. That’s exactly the solution I’m advocating for.
This story was certainly unexpected and it seems the law enforcement may have overreacted somewhat. It's clear the individual made a poor choice in driving while intoxicated, regardless of the vehicle's size, but it appears the follow-up actions were not entirely proportionate or fair. To tow a toy car and impose such charges seems excessive especially when it appears others had allowed him to compromise.

It means the police are looking for children on power wheels to pull over.
Look I am not from America so I can only give you how it is handled in my country. When drunk you are not allowed to drive a vehicle not even ones where no license is required. Where I come from they take your license if they catch you drunk driving a bicycle.

5:16 If that's the case and it legally qualifies as a vehicle, then every single power wheels-type toy would have to be registered through the state, insured, and have tags and a license plate.
So what I'm hearing, from a legal perspective, is that every single owner of a power wheels-type *TOY* is currently breaking the law in that state, because nobody in their right mind meets those requirements.
I'm just saying they should take this to trial and all the way up to the Supreme Court, because that sounds a lil fishy to me.
You are correct sir,
This isn't the only situation or law like this. The government can bend and twist the convoluted and endless laws they have to convict anyone for anything.
With this everyone is a criminal, everybody just doesn't realize it until some bs like this happens to you.
Let’s be real here. They weren’t scared of him hitting someone, they were scared of someone hitting him and getting a manslaughter charge for it.

2:18 If Uber isn't an option, implying that he took the powerwheels from his local bar back to his house. (Though editing this after watching more apparently he claims he HAS been driving it around, which is certainly something.)
He's inebriated and it's dark, so he does actually pose a danger to himself if he nods off into traffic or something. But wacky to actually tow the "vehicle" and go to these extremes for what's obviously meant to be punitive.
Might have been drinking at a friends and had permission to use the kids Power Wheels. The bar isn't the only place to drink, in fact it's literally the dumbest place to drink. Pay the price of a 12 pack for one drink? I'm good. And if they were worried about him killing himself he would've just spent a night in the "drunk tank" instead of hitting him with all those charges. These guys literally TOWED the thing to further "prove" their ridiculous point it's a legal vehicle. These cops don't give a shit about him.
Yes dumbass, that is why the cops want to charge him for DUI.
This exactly, him trying hard to downplay the reason for the charge makes no sense.
Another shockingly out of touch take from this channel. If you're gonna put yourself out there by doing social commentary, be prepared to get called out on your terrible takes. Everyone has wrong opinions about things, no one is perfect, etc., but man Charlie has some legitimately shallow and braindead views on a many number of things.
By that logic, shouldn't you be taken to jail for stressing yourself into a heart attack for being bothered by someone using a power wheels?
There's a reason why this guy was given a pass for 9 months until people like you decide it's good to jail them for their own good. What he's going to swerve into traffic that's several feet away going 2 mph??
Stupid logic
“Please present your license and registration as well as the ToysRUs’ receipt for this vehicle please” LMFAOOO
“Lucky he didn’t blow the welds off the intake”, good Charlie’s learning from his dad

Yeah, I’m assuming he shot all the local black teens quicker than usual, so he had the free time after to arrest this “dangerous criminal”
Standard protocol is to give him an apple juice 😂😂😂
Dude could've been on every drug known to man and I still firmly believe this shouldn't constitute a DUI
which is why youre a nobody and why these guys are cops
We live under the boot of tyrants
That guy was literally driving that thing to try and avoid trouble, if anybody deserves a warning, it’s him
I bet this cop's mom is real proud of him.
Arresting a man for driving a power wheels whilst intoxicated because it’s technically a “vehicle” is like if the UK Police were to enforce Section 32 of the Salmon Act 1986, which stipulates that it's an offence to “handle salmon under suspicious circumstances”.
As long as they define what is suspicious. Salmon in pants?

Plot twist: The cop only goal with pulling him over was so he didn’t have to buy his son a power wheel.
Judging by the semi passing the scene, it seems like he was power wheelin' down a state route near industrial complexes without any lights. Despite being in a toy, which isn't unsafe for him, the likelihood of him causing or being involved in a fatal accident was quite high. Either a semi or a car halling ass down that road so late at night would've never seen him. Honestly, the traffic stop probably saved a few lives.
He wouldntve gotten a dui of he was on a bike, which is much faster than this thing, some people WALK just as fast as a power wheels. It isnt safe, no, but a suspended liscence? HE CAN STILL DRIVE THE POWER WHEELS WITHOUT IT. The shit was out of spite, not to keep anyone safe. They shouldve just given him a warning or something of the sort about not being in the street.
Oh scary! God knows what would've happened if he kept driving that power wheels 😱
The Officer was probably scared, that if he puts the Powerwheel next to the guy, that he will hop on it, bust through the doors of the car and escape into the nearby forest.
My uncle got a DWI on a lawnmower 20 years ago on a backroad in front of his house because he had a beer in his hand. He was just mowing in front of his yard lol.
A quota is a quota, but a quota over a toy is absolutely mental.
So you mean to tell me that in Indiana, a drivers license is required to operate a "Disney Princess Jeep Wrangler Ride-On Battery Powered Vehicle with Sounds & Phrases for Preschool Kids Ages 3+ Years"?
On a public road, yes. On your private property, no.
probably not a license as those are for certain classes of vehicles. like you don't need a license for a bike or even an E-bike but it's still classified as a vehicle when on public roads.
@@Blasted2Oblivionlol I bet cops are patrolling the suburbs looking for kids driving around their cul de sac.
Possibly not if it's considered a slow moving vehicle. Which has to be marked with a special triangle reflector plate. This is commonly done for Amish buggies, lawn mowers, farm machinery, etc. The problem is he didn't have the plate.

Petty and pathetic. As a police officer, your most important duty is to protect citizens. I’m tired of seeing cops making petty ass arrests just because they “have the authority” to do so. So what if you have the authority, my man John wouldn’t hurt a fly. I understand we don’t really know John or if he has a history but it’s exactly as Charlie said, it’s just sad to see cops focusing on these easy pickens instead of getting the more dangerous people who will actually hurt or kill others.
This cops the kind of guy that stays at roads with the paint gone ready to pull you over if you pass the line
Ridiculous reason to jail someone, seriously.
"Ahh yes, i could take powerwheels drunk, but if its all the same criminal offense, might as well take the vehicle that can kill others instead of this toy car."
Neither. He drives a real car, he could hurt people or worse, driving a power wheels on the road without lights, doing well under the posted speed limit can do exactly the same thing when a car comes up on him in the dark and swerves and has an accident. Neither of your examples are appropriate for someone.
@@paddington1670except he’s not in the middle of the road he’s on the side of the road. When there’s no sidewalk you can travel on the side of the road.

I think the issue was that he was driving one of these things at night with no lights, and the drunkenness means he is more likely to make poor decisions on where he should drive.

"no, not the pink one" I grew up with the pink one. Normally I prefer blue but the correct color for battery powered jeeps is Barbie lol. I will also mention, they have a lot of rules specifically about things like non-standard vehicles on the road where I grew up because it was very rural. Those rules were designed to deal with people on 4-wheelers, farm equipment, and riding mowers. Lots of areas didn't even have sidewalks so options were limited, and because they'd be putting cars or pedestrians at risk there were rules on how to legally/appropriately manage those situations.
