I'm not sure how up to date this is (being the one and only BT news feed Wink ) but when will people learn that recording your stupidity is stupid and liable to get you in a whole world of sh1t!

Oh I agree, but it still stands that stupidly filming anything that can be used against you is a product of this social media generation.

Like those people who made the cardboard Grenfil towers or people filming themselves bullying others. It always comes out somewhere, especially if you want to be a politician Laughing

I bet the lad on the bike in front of the cameraman was really chuffed with his mate...

The recordings provided police with the simplest of evidence. I agree recording such videos is not wise at all.

Certainly seems that way. Back in the good old days, when you did something stupid you just laughed about it with the mates that were there and then exagerated it when you told other mates.
Simpler times.

Indeed. It's a discussion we've had to have in our bike club since the advent of people filming and uploading ride-outs.

The uploaded footage need to contain nothing identifying other riders breaking road traffic laws. If ANY of the uploaded footage shows such behaviour (even if the person is not identifiable), the entirity of the original footage also needs to be erased or irreversably edited because the uploaded content can be used to obtain a search warrant to seize the originals.

This is not tinfoil hat stuff!

There is the excellent real-life cautionary tale of the member on here who after uploading footage of him messing around on the cat and fiddle, had his door kicked in first thing in the morning and all his computer gear seized under a search warrant. The police then had free rein to carry out a fishing expedition of every bit of footage present on those computers, cameras and SD cards!

He was (much) later let off with a warning. The police having informed him that they had been reading his posts about the incident (on here, yes guys, the police do read this forum) and had been impressed by his contrite attitude.

Then there is the whole issue of people skiving off work to go on runs...

"Nearly 200mph" according to the speedos, we presume.
But obviously they and the hundreds of others innocent people close are dead now, of course! Rolling Eyes

Given that no actual harm was caused, the sentencing seems a bit much, in comparison with drunken drivers killing people, who never seem to have to do time.

Here's a more entertaining example of a twit being caught out by their own dashcam:

Guy's definitely not right in the head. Laughing
