So this is well on its way to going viral...

Casey Neistat, a Manhattan filmmaker and YouTube vlogger, snowboarding behind his jeep during yesterday's snowstorm: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRv7G7WpOoU

He was stopped by two NYPD officers in a cruiser.

Turn up the volume and listen to what the NYPD officers say :)

This is great PR for the NYPD, but totally contrary to policy :)

Plus, every one of those drone shots is illegal because they are within five miles of one of New York's three airports :)

Jesus, are you all deaf?

Listen to what the NYPD cops say at the end.

It starts with words to the effect "There's been a complaint".

And it relates, directly, to the video's opening of the Mayor's statement that anyone caught driving will be arrested.

Impossible to go further without explaining the joke, which thankfully has not had to be explained beyond this forum.

Very cool...Cops were cool too!

Just surprised those guys weren't wearing helmets, I mean...no ATGATT? 
Good thing he didn't plow into that crane parked on the side! 

Cool to see NY blanketed like that, all we need is to see a V7 with ABS come to a sliding stop in Times Square!!!

"So we're just gonna act like we're talkin' to you, alright"?

you know I thought it snowed in those parts every year, yet here skiing around the streets has been on the TV news here. Just goes to show doesn't it.

Mind you, the news also mentioned that there have been 25 deaths (to date) due to the snow! That's a bit rough.
