    Default just an observation!

    i know i've seen vids of cars from users that you can see your tags... not the smartest idea; specially considering the vid + your post = trouble.

    i do agree with you, but....if we were going to get into trouble. we would have already gotten into trouble.

    they have the video but have no idea most of the time where th races actually took place. or when

    Troof, and also the fact if one would take you to court, just tell them it was all digitally created. They cant prove half the crap in videos based on our technology today that can pretty manipulate anything.

    But it is stupid that people who race on here do not block out their plates.

    Well, if you're going fast enough then maybe your tag won't be seen ?

    well after reading some of the post example:

    ABC USER "i raced XYZ this weekend here is the vid"

    tag# + admission online = guilty

    i'm just saying likely hood is small but you never know - they are cracking down like crazy and considering the current economic status if they can punish extra few 100 cases for reckless driving/street racing fines would make up some budget deficits


    its like going through camera light... you can tell them it wasn't you but they will make you tell them who it was.

    well, true to a certain degree. they still have to prove where and all the particulars.

    From past experience they can't do anything about it unless the catch you in the act. I've raced several times and be pulling in the parking lot with the cops coming from the other direction. As long as they dont see you racing there is nuthing they can do about it. I have also talk'd to a couple of G-nett cops and lawyers about this.

    All there doing on IA is watching the film to try and figure out when and where everything is going on at.

    lol! the crazy thing is, if a cop saw you launch and haul ass even letting off at the speed limit it is classified as laying drag, or competition of speed or some goofy shit like that.
    Who knows?

    Thats very true and sense all the new camera's you guys shoot with are HD. Try looking at the back ground sometimes...its not that hard to figure out where your racing and at what locations...

    I saw on the news about a year ago or so where a kid posted a video racing on an interstate on yahoo. He was going above 120mph. The cops came and got him. I believe it was in GA, but not 100% sure.

    ^^ that wasn't the first time nor will it be the last. if you guys are dumb enough to believe the police or whoever it is that is obtaining videos online to use against you in court isn't going to use it, LOFL.

    this has already happened and will continue to happen. its only a matter of time before authorities start cracking down and start using our own videos against us. if you really want to live in la la land and believe it won't happen, oh well...

    LOL

    I wished I could remember all the details about it, but the kid was arrested. It was a smaller story, so didn't hear anything else about it after the initial one.

    I guess it boils down to if they can prive where you were at and the speed you were going.

    That is only true for a commercial truck (and over xxx weight - I think it was 16K #s) , as you are required to keep logs. Private vehicles do not have logs and you are not required by law to disclose who was driving at the time.

    It's "exhibition of speed or acceleration" according to GA law
    Racing on the highways includes “any race, speed competition or contest, drag race or acceleration contest, test of physical endurance, exhibition of speed or acceleration, or for the purpose of making a speed record….” §40-6-186(b)
    "Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen

    It's "exhibition of speed or acceleration" according to GA law
    Racing on the highways includes “any race, speed competition or contest, drag race or acceleration contest, test of physical endurance, exhibition of speed or acceleration, or for the purpose of making a speed record….” §40-6-186(b)

    yes but its kinda damning evidence when someone says EG hatch vs Mustang, and the kid post the video just so happens that his Screen name is Eg Hatch..... I believe all the OP was saying is just be careful with what you are posting, Thats all!
