Posting dangerous stunts on social media has become something of a trend. And in one of Built Not Bought\u2019s videos, one of his personalized cars literally flipped over, speaking volumes towards the nature of his creative works. The driver and individuals involved appear unharmed in the video, but dangers put on display in the video are undeniable. The creator has had multiple run ins with the police prior to the entire situation blowing up in his face, with one of the first having occurred after going to a McDonald\u2019s drive-thru. Though they initially let him go, his viral videos showcasing consistent breaking of the law through unregulated modifications on vehicles, which the authorities labeled as defective upon inspection, brought the attention of the Queensland Police. According to the New York Post, the police raided the content creator\u2019s home, taking \u201call [his] hard drives, computers, phones, cameras, everything.\u201d Five of his cars were labeled defective by the police, and two of them were seized. SID, the car shown in the videos above, was included among the vehicles taken from Eyles. Eyles was arrested and charged with multiple counts of \u201cdangerous operation of a motor vehcile\u201d, including \u201ccareless driving\u201d, operating a \u201cdefective vehicle\u201d, and driving \u201cwith passengers unrestrained\u201d. But it wasn\u2019t just the main creator who is in trouble. Nine others, who were involved in the Eyles\u2019 network, also received Traffic Infringement notices. As of now, the amount owed sums up to $27,800, a number which may continue to rise as the police continue their investigations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTuber\u2019s home raided after driving \u201cclown car\u201d through McDonald\u2019s drive-thru YouTube: Built Not BoughtYouTuber Sammy Eyles, known for his channel \u2018Built Not Bought\u2019, takes great pride in his high effort car modifications, but one of his stunts caught the eye of the Queensland Police in Australia, resulting in some big trouble for the content creator.
