I had to look up where Castleton is (middle of nowhere). The neighbours probably would have given him some leeway to ride that thing around town without too much trouble if there had been even a token effort to put a muffler on it. Somebody called that one in for sure.

Not having a license / not being able to afford car insurance when you're 18 in Castleton is going to suck.

The post is getting thousands of comments. Most say leave the kid alone and go catch real criminals. Many say that it is 49cc and therefore exempt from all of these tickets (I think that hasn't worked for decades). A lot say the kid deserved it for riding on the road.

Edit:
Assuming his record is clean, I would hope they drop the crazy expensive charges (ie no insurance) in a plea deal. Smack him around a little and teach him a lesson but don't do him hard and dry. There was no crash this time so lack of insurance was a statistical/theoretical issue not a real issue where there was damage and nobody with money to cover it.

Someone riding that on the road wouldn't piss you off?

The kid probably didn't know that "yes sir... no sir" is the best way to deal with a traffic stop.

Quite likely. Also very likely they were spouting off about 49cc needs nothing, go catch real criminals, etc. Fufo.
