1
In this video, I'm exposing crimes YouTubers got away with.
2
From a crime involving iShowSpeed to someone who set off an explosion in their own backyard.
3
We've covered YouTuber crimes before, but every case in this video is completely new.
4
Starting with iShowSpeed.
5
I got a lot of fireworks right now.
6
That's like the Pikachu one, y'all.
7
Now, owning fireworks isn't automatically illegal.
8
But the real problem is what he does next.
9
I don't think it's gonna be that loud, personally.
10
After this, the fire department shows up.
11
Based on legal reporting, this stayed as a fire safety emergency, not a criminal case.
12
But legally, the problem wasn't just fireworks.
13
It was setting one off indoors.
14
In places like Ohio, consumer fireworks can be legal on certain days, but they still can't be discharged indoors.
15
And minors can't handle or discharge them at all.
16
So if there had been serious injury, major fire damage, or proof that someone illegally gave fireworks to a minor,
17
this could have turned into a very different case.
18
So technically, Speed didn't beat the law.
19
He just got extremely lucky.
20
Next is Liverking, who was arrested for threatening the biggest podcaster in the world.
21
Joe Rogan, I'm calling you out.
22
I'm picking a fight with you.
23
Saying I'm picking a fight with you may sound hostile, but legally it's not automatically a true threat.
24
It could just be treated as aggressive online talk.
25
But then he follows it up with something prosecutors take much more seriously.
26
Once you start making death threats, prosecutors can argue you're threatening serious bodily injury.
27
What made this much worse is that Liver King actually traveled to where Joe Rogan lives.
28
Police eventually found him at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin.
29
Going to jail, cops are coming.
30
Don't stop recording.
31
Nothing was actually done wrong.
32
Police arrested him and charged him with making a terroristic threat.
33
But there was a problem for prosecutors.
34
Liver King's entire online persona is built on acting extreme.
35
He yells, flexes, speaks in bizarre slogans, and performs like a cartoon caveman.
36
So when the alleged threat came through strange videos, authorities may have had a harder time proving he meant it as an immediate real-world threat,
37
rather than another over-the-top performance for attention.
38
Next is a prank YouTuber that got arrested for impersonating law enforcement.
39
Kyle from the Nelk Boys goes into a mall wearing a reflective vest, a badge, a walkie-talkie, and riding a Segway.
40
And he starts testing how much authority strangers will let him have.
41
This is my mall.
42
At first, it's slightly annoying.
43
Don't be stealing anything in the mall today, eh?
44
Then it gets closer to an actual charge.
45
Do you even think about stealing something in there?
46
I will literally, like, take both of you down myself.
47
But then, Kyle says something the authorities love to hear.
48
Are you threatening me?
49
Some people just don't respect law enforcement.
50
Now he's not just pretending to be mall security.
51
He's implying he's part of law enforcement.
52
So Texas police arrest him for impersonating a cop.
53
At first, the charge looks obvious.
54
He has the vest, the badge, and he's telling people what to do.
55
But then the footage creates a massive problem, because Kyle isn't exactly subtle.
56
He rides a Segway through a food court, yells at strangers, and gets followed by a camera crew.
57
Then he walks into a donut shop and basically ruins the case himself.
58
You see the badge though?
59
You can't arrest anyone, please.
60
What, because I'm not a real cop?
61
Which is not exactly what you say when pretending to be police.
62
Eventually, real mall security catches on.
63
They're not too happy right now.
64
I think they're calling the cops, so.
65
But Kyle never goes to trial because a grand jury looks at the case and issues what's called a no true bill.
66
That means they decide there isn't enough evidence to move forward with the charge.
67
Likely
68
because no one would believe a weird guy on a Segway wearing sneakers followed by a camera crew is a real cop.
69
So Kyle didn't get saved because the prank was smart.
70
He got saved because it was too dumb to prosecute.
71
But these next YouTubers committed a crime that put their lives in danger 200 feet underground.
72
We could die.
73
This is genuinely the most scary we've ever been to film a video.
74
Underneath Paris is a tunnel system filled with the remains of more than six million people.
75
And Sam and Colby decided to illegally enter the park tourists aren't allowed to see.
76
Now with their cameras, guides, and emergency supplies ready, it was time to head underground.
77
This is like a foot tall, guys.
78
How do we get in?
79
Holy shit, man.
80
Everything we're about to experience for the next eight hours is fully illegal.
81
Most people only see the legal tourist section of the Paris catacombs, but the restricted tunnels stretch for hundreds of kilometers underneath the city.
82
My god.
83
We're in the catacombs.
84
We're in the catacombs.
85
And once they get past the entrance, the challenge completely changes.
86
It rained in Paris today, so whatever water we were going to experience, we're going to experience double.
87
Look how tight it gets.
88
Oh my god.
89
Look at this wall right here.
90
There's like 40.
91
They're just all faces.
92
Eventually, they reach the bone rooms, corridors built from actual human remains.
93
It's definitely starting to get real now.
94
There's faces all over these walls.
95
This is crazy.
96
Oh god, I don't want to step.
97
And at this point, they're deep underground, which means the real problem is no longer getting in.
98
It's getting back out.
99
We are already past the amount of time that we were supposed to be in here, And we are nowhere close to the exit before entering the catacombs Sam
100
and Colby scheduled an emergency tweet The tweet basically says
101
if you're seeing this we've been underground longer than expected We can't find our way out
102
and if you don't hear from us soon send help and while they're still underground
103
Millions of followers start realizing they might actually be trapped
104
Guys this is the third exit that we've tried we are actually at this point lost Oh God!
105
Final challenge guys, let's not get arrested on the way out.
106
Which raises the obvious question, if they filmed themselves illegally entering a restricted tunnel system, why weren't they charged?
107
Under French law, entering the restricted catacombs can lead to fines and police citations.
108
And French police actively patrol the tunnels.
109
But Sam and Colby are American creators who flew home after filming and chasing two foreign YouTubers
110
across international borders over what's usually treated like a trespassing violation simply wasn't worth the effort.
111
But this next YouTuber committed a crime so serious, he was facing a 10-year prison sentence.
112
In many places, fireworks can be treated as explosive devices,
113
and using them from a moving helicopter creates massive risk for people inside the aircraft, the driver below, and anyone else on the ground.
114
Authorities said the stunt violated federal aviation laws and explosive regulations,
115
exposing everyone involved to serious injury or death.
116
Which means Alex Choi was facing 10 years in federal prison.
117
So why didn't he go to prison?
118
Well, there's two reasons.
119
First, he pleaded not guilty, then entered a pretrial diversion agreement.
120
That's basically a deal where prosecutors pause the case if the defendant follows strict conditions.
121
And after Alex followed the rules of the deal, prosecutors permanently dropped the federal charge.
122
So instead of 10 years, Alex avoided jail time and walked away without a conviction.
123
This is one of the funniest disguises ever used to commit a crime.
124
Steve from Nelpoise is trying to sneak into Universal Studios under a disguise.
125
And somehow, for a few minutes, it actually does.
126
Guys, I don't know what to do.
127
A few months before this, Steve had gone to Universal with his friends and got banned from the park.
128
But instead of waiting for the ban to expire, Steve came back early, wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses.
129
The problem is, universal security received a tip.
130
I just given the mustache.
131
Now so close.
132
Out of Florida, please?
133
About 11 months.
134
So in one month?
135
How are you?
136
And right there, Steve basically admits he knew the ban was still active, with only about one month left before he could come back.
137
Does the mustache look real a little bit?
138
No, I think.
139
I'm sorry, Rob.
140
I'm just laughing at the mustache, man.
141
That's all.
142
No, it's cool.
143
But with the fake mustache, the sunglasses, and the fact that he came back early, this starts looking intentional.
144
And now the prank officially turns into a crime.
145
Back to the jail?
146
Yeah, bro, you're going.
147
You're taking a ride this time.
148
In Florida, returning to a property after you've been formally banned can become trespass after warning.
149
Steve later pleads no contest, and the judge withholds adjudication, meaning there's no formal conviction placed on his record.
150
That can happen in misdemeanor cases when the court decides to impose penalties without formally ruling the person guilty.
151
So Steve still faced consequences, but he avoided a formal conviction.
152
You're gonna be trespassed for another year?
153
No, definitely.
154
But he did get another ban from Universal.
155
Next is a channel called DaddyO5, built around pranks on their own kids.
156
It starts with the parents covering a bedroom carpet in invisible ink.
157
I bought this here, invisible ink.
158
I'm gonna squirt it all over his carpet and start flipping out.
159
Then they blame one of their sons for destroying it.
160
The child keeps insisting he didn't do it, but the parents keep going.
161
Then, after the child breaks down, they reveal the whole thing was fake.
162
It's just a prank, bruh!
163
But viewers didn't think it looked like a prank.
164
And the most damaging part for the parents was that the evidence wasn't hidden.
165
It was uploaded and monetized on YouTube.
166
Heather and Michael Martin entered guilty pleas to charges of child neglect
167
that stemmed from this prank they played on their kids and posted to their YouTube page.
168
And once prosecutors got involved, the case became much bigger than one video.
169
The channels Family05 and Family05Gaming combined have over 400,000 subscribers and continue to feature pranks.
170
Which is where this stops being bad parenting on YouTube and becomes a child neglect case.
171
So why didn't they go to prison?
172
Well, they used one of the strangest pleas in criminal law called an Alford plea.
173
Basically, they didn't admit the crime, but they acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence that a jury could probably convict them.
174
So the court still treated it like a conviction, even though they never had to stand up and say, We did it.
175
That's how they avoided prison and ended up with five years of supervised probation.
176
Next is a YouTuber whose trespassing got so out of control, he was banned from most of the UK.
177
A YouTuber named Ali Law built his channel around climbing places he wasn't allowed to, like cranes, buildings, bridges.
178
But this time, he climbs into a closed theme park, while workers and security are still nearby.
179
There is a lot of workers and security in there.
180
And instead of leaving, he commits to the plan.
181
We're climbing up that roller coaster.
182
I don't give a shit if it's open.
183
Then he explains what they'll do if they get caught.
184
And we'll just sprint off and escape.
185
Always, isn't it?
186
That's standard procedure.
187
That line matters, because this wasn't just accidentally wandering somewhere he shouldn't be.
188
He knew people were there, he knew he wasn't supposed to be there, and he was already planning the escape.
189
Eventually, Ali climbs up the roller coaster.
190
Mate, this is horrible up here.
191
Whole thing's so rusted as well.
192
Which is where this becomes illegal.
193
Climbing into a closed theme park can be trespassed.
194
But in the UK, that usually means fines or civil consequences, not prison.
195
Ali's problem was that he kept doing it.
196
So authorities use something much stronger, a criminal behavior order.
197
And that's where the law gets crazy.
198
A CBO doesn't just punish you for what you already did.
199
It creates rules specifically for you.
200
In Ali's case, the order banned him from entering theme parks, TV and film studios, and parts of bridges or buildings not open to the public.
201
The reason he didn't go to prison was because the roller coaster climb itself wasn't the five-year prison crime.
202
The order was.
203
If Ali broke the CBO, that new violation could carry up to five years in prison.
204
So since then, he's stopped uploading and doesn't climb structures like these anymore.
205
Smart move.
206
Next is Grant Thompson, who made explosives in his backyard.
207
Grant ran a channel called The King of Random, where he tested dangerous experiments for millions of viewers.
208
Which bottle's gonna explode first?
209
The one with more dry ice or the one with less?
210
After a few minutes, the bottle starts swelling.
211
But that's gonna go any second.
212
I'm getting excited.
213
Whoa!
214
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
215
But the second bottle doesn't go off, so Grant decides to walk closer.
216
Eventually, the bottle becomes so unstable that Grant grabs a BB gun and tries to shoot it.
217
Here we go in three, two.
218
Before you can even pull the trigger, the bottle explodes on its own, which is where this turns into more than a dangerous science video.
219
And in many places, possessing a device like this can be illegal.
220
Neighbors had reportedly called police more than once because of loud explosions coming from Grant's property.
221
And when officers investigated, They found enough material to charge him with two felony counts for possessing explosive devices.
222
Each count carried up to 15 years in prison.
223
So how did he get away with it?
224
Instead of sending him to prison, the court agreed to a plea deal with one of the strangest conditions possible.
225
He had to make multiple YouTube videos.
226
One had to teach safety precautions for dangerous experiments.
227
Another had to explain the legal risks like permits, noise, and avoiding problems with authorities.
228
Ryan Taylor exploded in popularity back in 2020 due to videos
229
like Full Speed BMX in a water park where he evades water park security while performing dangerous stunts.
230
But his stunts would get even crazier when Ryan bought a cheap BMW and drove it across Spain for a YouTube video.
231
First, Ryan and his friends started using public roads like a stunt course.
232
They stood in the middle of roads, climbed around the moving car, and swerved through traffic.
233
Then, Ryan appears to admit to one of the crimes on camera.
234
Then the BMW starts falling apart.
235
The engine overheats, water leaks everywhere, and instead of scrapping the car legally, Ryan and his friends decide to dump it themselves.
236
They line the BMW up near the edge of a hill, then push it down toward a river.
237
Once the video was uploaded online, Spanish police started looking for him.
238
And while Ryan is still in Spain, one of his friends calls to tell him the police are already at the house.
239
Police eventually tracked him down and arrested him.
240
And because this involved dangerous driving, dumping a vehicle, and driving without a license, Ryan was facing multiple serious criminal charges.
241
But then, Ryan may have used a kind of loophole.
242
He flew home.
243
Spain could have asked the UK to send him back through extradition, but that process takes time, money, and international legal effort.
244
And in Ryan's case, authorities likely decided it wasn't worth it.
245
But this next crime might have been the worst of them all, because it tore a family apart.
246
A five-year-old boy has been killed in Rome after a Lamborghini
247
SUV crashed into a small family car during a YouTube challenge on Wednesday evening.
248
Matteo Di Pietro was part of an Italian YouTube group called The Borderline.
249
The group built its channel around extreme challenge videos inspired by creators like Mr. Beast.
250
One of their videos was an I Survived 50 Hours in a Tesla challenge.
251
And according to Italian reporting, the Lamborghini video may have been the next version of the same format.
252
Investigators are also looking into the cell phones
253
and cameras used by the YouTubers who were riding in the unregistered Lamborghini to film yet another challenge to post online.
254
Then they crashed into another car.
255
Italian authorities charged Matteo Di Pietro with aggravated vehicular homicide.
256
While the case moved through court, he spent about seven months under house arrest.
257
He later accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to four years and four months.
258
But that house arrest time counted toward the sentence.
259
That brought the remaining time low enough for alternatives to traditional prison, like house detention and unpaid community service.
260
After the crash, the Borderline uploaded a final statement.
261
Although he stopped making these types of YouTube videos, he never spent a day in prison.
262
I really hope you learned something.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
