What a complete dumpster fire…
YouTuber Street Speed 717 says he’s facing a long list of criminal charges for jumping his brand new Ram TRX over a creek on private property, among other stunts. I covered this stunt before and called him out for being a reckless idiot, likely damaging the truck frame and probably more. The guy has also jumped a Ford Raptor over the same creek as well as a Dodge Challenger made to look like the General Lee plus wearing big mud tires – a stunt I didn’t cover because I figured you’d all had enough of the outright stupidity of this guy. He also lit his trashed Ram TRX on fire just to get YouTube views and some of that sweet, sweet online attention. Maybe he huffed a lot of paint thinner as a kid? Now the guy’s in trouble for more than just trashing his own vehicle and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving individual.

According to the YouTuber, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has filed 2 counts of disturbing waterways or watersheds, 6 counts of allowing poison to fish, 6 counts of littering near waters, and 4 counts of running a vehicle in any stream. The guy then just goes off about how the water he jumped and drove through on multiple occasions, which he documented on his YouTube channel, is at most 12 inches deep and so it must not be a habitat of any kind. He’s never seen fish or turtles, so his argument is just so like airtight and stuff, you know? Seems like a weird thing to say, but as you can see starting at about 7:00 in the included video he makes that argument most passionately.
For the guy’s sake, I hope he has a good attorney, because if he goes into court with that kind of argument he’s probably toast. Of course, I’m not a lawyer and wouldn’t dream of giving anyone else legal advice, it’s just that it seems self-evident this discount Jackass team member doesn’t know anything about ecosystems or biology (not to mention physics – more on that later).
