An obnoxious street-racing influencer has been apprehended by authorities after he recorded a series of videos engaging in high-speed stunts with expensive cars, while taunting law enforcement officials in both New York City and New Jersey, according to police reports.
In a captivating video called “Squeeze vs Newark,” the driver hands an anonymous passenger a simulated legal waiver before embarking on a high-speed race through the bustling streets of New Jersey.

The driver quickly notices a squad car stopped in the middle of the road. Without hesitation, he swiftly turns and skillfully performs a series of high-speed doughnuts. In a flash, he races away, leaving the astonished officer behind in a cloud of dust.
As the stunt car speeds through several red lights and disappears onto the highway, the driver encounters several other police cars, which are unable to keep up.
According to Newark Police Chief Emanuel Miranda, Newark is not a place where reckless drivers can show off for social media attention. He emphasizes that the city will not tolerate any form of dangerous and irresponsible driving on its streets.
The investigation into Ginestri started when he was spotted performing doughnuts around another police car at 1:16 a.m. on April 11.

Officials discovered the “Squeeze.Benz” account after the 19-year-old allegedly drove a black BMW with no license plates and managed to outrun the pursuing officers.
The account showcases a collection of videos spanning over a year, each with engaging titles like “Drifting through Times Square,” “NYPD Tried It,” and “4 Minutes of Squeeze Taking Over The FDR.”
Newark Police collaborated with the NYPD Auto Crimes Manhattan Unit to investigate the case. Last Thursday, Ginestri was apprehended by the authorities after reportedly assaulting a 20-year-old man at the Steinway Deli in Astoria, as stated by the NYPD.
Ginestri is currently facing several charges in Fairfield, including reckless driving, employing a juvenile in the commission of a crime, theft, and conspiracy, according to the police.
According to the Queens District Attorney’s office, Ginestri had previously admitted guilt for possessing a stolen motorcycle in March. As a result, he was required to pay $3,000 in restitution.
Unfortunately, we were unable to reach an attorney representing Ginestri for comment at this time.
