When I say toy car, I am reffering to things like power wheels. something like this.

While I was going thru some body cam videos on the Law&Crime Network YouTube channel I came across a footage where a drunk man gets arrested for DUI for driving a Power Wheels while drunk. The police officer explained that the law did not take into account the purpose of the vehicle, and only required the vehicle to be powered by electric, combustion, or steam, for DUI charges to be valid. The officer states also the only exception for a drunk person is for a drunk to operate a bike in the state.
(Audio starts at 5 or 6 second mark)
Are there other states with similar laws? I understand it is against the law in any state to operate a motor vehicle on the road without any rear and/or front lights. Did this police officer over reach his bounds and arrested the drunk in kidy car for no reason, and no such law exists? Did he do the right thing?
