    so a person in a vehicle that is less dangerous than a car, who was going the speed of traffic on side streets, was arrested.

    the police state that this was “oviously dangerous”. to whom? i doubt he would be able to injure anyone in that thing any more than the full-size cars driving next to him.

      To himself most likely. Consider how a large vehicle can crush a small vehicle made to safety specs.

      Now consider how it would go if the small vehicle was made of plastic.

          It’s a motorized vehicle so the operator needs to be licenced. And not impaired. The danger it poses is that it is unexpected for regular vehicles and someone could have an accident and hurt an innocent person while trying to protect the asshole driving the toy. It wasn’t a cute stunt. It was a prohibited driver trying to get around his prohibition while yet again, drunk.
