YouTube has become the entertainment center of the modern world. Every hour, 30,000 new hours are posted on the site video . With all this content out there, it’s not hard to imagine that you’re getting a mixed bag. Some of it is genuinely interesting and entertaining. Some is just crap that isn’t interesting at all. And then some of the weird videos end up with the people who made them getting thrown in jail.
10. The "bank robber chick" who gloated about her crime in a video.
There are all sorts of people in the world, and morality is by no means static. What one person feels comfortable doing may be absolutely abhorrent to another. That’s partly why we have laws at all. We need to set standards by which we can all agree to live in a civilized society. Obviously, that doesn’t always work out, but we do what we can. So how does YouTube fit into this? Well, some people commit crimes and then brag about it online, like Hannah Sabata did in 2012.
When Sabata was 19, she robbed a bank, which wasn't the best idea. That bad decision was compounded when she returned home and made a video of herself showing off the money and some drugs and detailing how she stole a car and then robbed the bank. She titled the video " Chick Bank Robber». The description was: "I just stole a car and robbed a bank. Now I'm rich, I can pay off my college aid, and tomorrow I'm going shopping. Bite me. I love GREENDAY!"
As expected, she was quickly arrested once law enforcement saw the video. She was sentenced to terms from 10 to 20 years , and although she was released on parole at one time, it was revoked and she was sent back.
9. Boyfriend Shooter
Prank and stunt videos became popular on YouTube over a decade ago, and for a time they were among the most popular videos. People would play pranks on strangers and loved ones or perform dangerous stunts, all in the name of getting more views. Some of them were simple and harmless, but over time these videos became more and more intense and dangerous. Sometimes they go wrong, and that becomes deadly .
In 2018, Monalisa Perez and her boyfriend attempted a YouTube stunt that was meant to mix danger with the incredible. Monalisa shot at the encyclopedia , which Pedro Ruiz held, at point-blank range. The idea was that the book should be so thick that the bullet could be stopped.
According to Ruiz, the goal was to see if a .50-caliber bullet could penetrate a book. It was to be his first stunt on his new YouTube channel. And although Perez protested, she eventually agreed to the stunt. While the camera recorded the action, she pulled the trigger. The bullet tore through the book and struck Ruiz, killing him.
Perez was accused ofsecond degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, a lenient sentence due to her apparent lack of intent.
8. Couple arrested for hiding in target
The things people are inspired to film and post on YouTube are more varied than most of us can imagine. That’s part of what makes it such an entertaining place. But in the pursuit of clicks and likes, people tend to push the envelope and do questionable things. That’s what happened when Charlotte Fisher and Johnson LaRose thought it would be a good idea to hide out in a Target store as it was closing, then film a video of their late-night adventures while locked inside.
On the one hand, you can see how this is at least a potentially interesting premise. Two people are stuck in a big box store overnight. It's something most of us have never experienced. On the other hand, it's also a violation. The couple say they expected fine , because they knew it was illegal. Instead, they were faced with criminal charges and a potential seven-year sentence.
The official charge is - criminal trespassing and conspiracy . They were also banned from returning to Target. The video is still on YouTube, and the couple has since amassed several thousand subscribers.
7. YouTuber Edits Video of Him Singing to Kids, Gets Criminal Charges
In one of the most infamous cautionary tales about what constitutes a prank and what constitutes a crime, Evan Emory attracted international press for his terrible judgment in attempting a joke.
A man from Michigan arranged to go to a local school classroom and entertain the children by singing a song. The children were all in first grade, and head teacher called this song " "innocent" . That was the case at the time. But then everything changed.
Emory was planning a prank. He took a video of kids reacting to his innocent song, then edited it. In the new video, the innocent song was replaced with an overtly sexual and offensive version. Even though the kids had never heard the offensive version, the parents were outraged and hurt. And you can imagine how you would feel if you saw your 6-year-old in a YouTube video edited to make it look like they were listening to something offensive.
Emory was charged with production of materials with sexual abuse of children , which is a felony. He faced up to 20 years. Although he was found guilty, he was sentenced to 60 days in prison and 200 hours of community service.
6. YouTuber posts video of his pot in the garden
Marijuana use is becoming more and more common these days. It’s legal in 18 states and decriminalized in more than a dozen others. It’s probably just a matter of time before it becomes legal and regulated, like alcohol and cigarettes. But it’s not there yet, and it wasn’t there in 2013, when William Bradley showed off his weed crop on YouTube.
Bradley was from Connecticut and had terminal cancer. He filmed himself standing among his many giant marijuana plants, prompting the police to come to his home and check it out. When they got there, they found not only marijuana, but also oxycodone and cocaine .
The police might never have found Bradley even if his face had been visible, but the man made it look easy. Not only was he in plain sight with the drugs, he took the time to give his name and even mailbox , where donations could be sent so he could share his weed with others.
5. One of the biggest piracy cases is against a YouTuber from New Jersey.
You've no doubt seen or heard of a YouTube user's video being removed due to a copyright claim. This happens when someone includes music or images that they don't own. YouTube can automatically flag videos when it recognizes copyrighted songs, but sometimes copyright holders scan clips from movies or TV shows and notices are filed. This can result in your YouTube channel being taken down, as well as to serious fines . But these are just small things. Bill Omar Carrasquillo was not modest.
Known as Omi in Hellcat, Carrasquillo is facing nearly unheard of piracy charges. The YouTuber ran an entire illegal streaming service. And he documented his tale of illicit wealth on YouTube . He even used the platform to advertise his pirate streaming service, where subscribers could watch pay-per-view events, " Game of Thrones" , direct cable channels and more. Even his arrest was filmed and broadcast live when the FBI came for him.
According to the indictment, he and his partners made money 30 million dollars from the subscription fees he charged his service's customers, which he used to buy jewelry, luxury cars, and a mansion, all of which he bragged about to his nearly 800,000 YouTube subscribers.
Carrasquillo pleaded guilty fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and copyright infringement. He faced up to 514 years in prison if convicted, although details of the plea agreement were not disclosed.
4. Wanted Mafia Boss Reborn and Posts His Baptism on YouTube
Let's say you've led a life of crime and then gone into hiding. As a fugitive, you turn over a new leaf and are reborn. Now what? Do you turn yourself in and face the consequences, or do you just try to be a good person on your own terms?
Mafia boss Antonio Montello was on the run from the law when he allegedly saw the light. His conversion was so complete that he even got baptized . The problem was that the baptism had been filmed. Police found the video and were able to identify both the landscape and the pastor to figure out where Montello had been. Despite his newfound faith, he had not chosen to take responsibility for his past actions, so police had to track him down and arrest him. He was already on the run from a five-year sentence for drug trafficking.
3. A couple of guys posted that they were speeding in a Porsche
You may have seen videos on YouTube of street racers, and sometimes even people with supercars, simply tearing up the highway at insane speeds. You may be wondering how it is legal to film yourself speeding down the road at nearly 200mph in a McLaren, and the answer is that it is not. Just ask David Murray and Timur Khayrov.
Two men made a video for the Vehicle Villains channel in which they raced a Porsche from Scotland to Wales at speeds of 100 miles per hour They posted the video and probably enjoyed the views and interactions until the police saw the video.
Since the video was essentially a chronicle of the crime in action, the men were arrested. They were eventually given 8 months prison term ..

Mr. Beast is estimated to earned 54 million dollars in 2021. Even someone who has reasons to stay away from the camera, like Marc Feren Claude Biard, might be tempted.
Biart, a former mafioso, is on the run since 2014 . But the man also had a passion for cooking. So much so that he started his own YouTube cooking channel. As a fugitive from justice, he knew on some level that being on camera was bad, so he never showed his face on camera.
