Police Bust YouTube Driver
Uncategorized November 30th, 2006
The Seattle PI has an interesting news story in which a street racer was busted and slapped in the face with a $1,300 fine after publishing a video on YouTube.
Police took up pursuit in cyberspace after a young Norwegian posted on the Internet video of his wild car driving. Following an electronic trail that he left online, police caught him and slapped him with real-life fine $1,300.
The Norwegian, identified only as a man in his early 20s, posted the video called “Driving in Norway†on Google Inc.’s popular video-sharing site YouTube. The recording showed the car’s speedometer hitting up to 150 miles - 240 kilometers - per hour on a public highway near Oslo.Â
“We’re touching 240,†a voice could be heard saying. “We know it will do it. This is a little nice.†The video was removed from the Web site after it made national news in Norway last week
