The Anonymous YouTubers Street-Racing Through New York
Briefly

In January, internet-famous street racer known as Squeeze was sentenced to five years in prison for unrelated offenses while street racing remains rampant in New York City. MBox, a friend of Squeeze, recounted their reckless and viral nighttime drive in Times Square that garnered millions of views on YouTube. Despite legal troubles for Squeeze, MBox claims police misidentified him as the real racer. The ongoing thrill-seeking behavior of racers like MBox illustrates the challenges law enforcement faces in curbing such activities in urban environments.
"The video we filmed shows us running red lights, narrowly avoiding scrapes with other cars, doing donuts at intersections, and even driving backward up a one-way street."
"The NYPD proudly reported they had 'Squeeze.benz' in custody, claiming he was one of the most prolific street racers in NYC."
