Putting footage on Yourube and plod
Discussion
I am a bit of an insomniac so was up far too early this morning. Found myself watching some YouTube videos by Baronvongrumble. Got me thinking I should try the 899.
Anyway, also got me thinking on how people get away with posting such stuff on the Internet as he is clearly exceeding the speed limits by a big margin.
Is it just that the police don't have the resources or will to chase people? Or lack of evidence? I don't think you can see the speedo but I would have thought that there were other ways of estimating speed eg distance between white lines is generally standard (?) and wouldn't it be easy to count how many you pass in a certain amount of footage to estimate average speed?
Question is not purely academic as I drove in a group recently and someone behind me had a video camera. Not that we were speeding of course. But still wonder how sensible it is to post stuff on the web.
