Popular YouTuber Casey Neistat posted a video this morning of him snowboarding through the streets of NYC during Saturday’s now infamous travel ban by Mayor Bill de Blasio. The video is fantastic, but the money clip is at the 2:14 mark when he blows buy an NYPD SUV and gets pulled over. The cop tells the driver, “someone complained about you so we’re just going to pretend we’re talking to you” and then lets him go (We imagine the “white privilege!” crowd will have something to say about that).
Here’s the video:
And here’s Casey joking that he’s “totally respecting” the mayor’s travel ban.
