Scottish police use YouTube to track down speeders
Be careful what you put up on YouTube, because the police could be watching. At least, that is if you're speeding in Scotland, where police have been monitoring the internet in a campaign to crack down on reckless driving.
Not only do the videos serve as evidence of moving violations, Scottish police say that a growing number of show-offs are speeding for the specific purpose of showing the world their reckless behavior. One such biker/videographer is currently being hunted down by Scottish traffic detectives, who vow to find him. We wanted to show you the video, but the motorcyclist who posted it is evidently trying to covering his tracks by removing the video from YouTube.

Good attitude to have there buddy. They're endangering other's lives and posting it on the internet. You play the chance game when you do it without cameras, but when you do take a video and post it on the internet, then you're giving them actual evidence that you did it.

I saw in a follow-on video where he was driving a ferarri and got in a horrible accident... hit by a much bigger vehicle... didn't look like there were any survivors.

Where are the cops when this sort of thing is actually happening? They say it is becoming more popular, so it must be happening more and more, right?
Oh. they are probably pulling people like me over for having tinted side windows (and NOT speeding or driving incorrectly), or some other revenue generating activities that don't actually have jack squat to do with protecting and serving the public interest, but does line the government's coffers.
