Jailed For Helmet Cam Footage

[-Matt-]

Seen this doing the rounds on bookface today. Obviously plenty of people have been done for posting videos online in the past, but I wasn't sure if theres been many similar cases to this before? Might be nothing particularly new.

He got pulled for 'dangerous driving' etc. The helmet camera was seized and he was subsequently prosecuted mostly for the other footage on the memory card.

2 year sentence .

That guy is a pure straight line hero.

N30 got raided one early morning and had every bit of computer equipment seized by the popo because he posted a vid on youtube a few years ago.

Seem to recall someone else on here mentioning their helmet camera was seized post-accident too? Can't remember who or when it was though.

First time i've heard of the camera being seized at the roadside after a pull though personally. May well not be that uncommon though.

How come BvG or royaljardanian (only 2 vloggers i watch) never get done, their videos are full of them clearly speeding and popping wheelie's.
Or is it all to do with the speedo being clearly visible?

According to the legal column (White Dalton??) of a recent bike magazine:

Edited - see Page 2 post - thanks Roger

Discreet cameras are the way forward if you're stupid enough to film anything dodgy..

In the video I saw speeding on A-roads (meh!) and some mild stupidity, so 2-years jail seemed excessive. According to the blurb however,

Eat memory card before rozzers waddle out of plodmobile?

Why have a camera if you're going to be that stupid.

He clearly doesn't give a fuck and was trying to film his own high speed death. I like him.

Seems a bit overkill really . Some lads just walked into my house after trying to Nick my bike looking for the keys . Chased them down street with a hammer . Coppers caught them and the fuckers had to pay court costs and got community service . Cunts

10 weeks for Mr Porsche... https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/sep/24/ukcrime.jamessturcke

Just a ban for him: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands/548824/undefined-headline-622/

Sentence seems a little excessive.

He didn't wheelie the Porsche though

What is that he's riding? Looks like a honda sp1/sp2.

Was on a Fireblade according to the news article.

This is why I'll never agree with the concept of helmet cams nowadays.
