Well just 1 second into the video I already knew it was a 2005/2006 R1. It couldn't have been that hard to figure out who it was if you had access to BMV records, Youtube registration information, and public witnessess....

Just saw a local kid on a ZX-6R blowing between cars on the double-yellow on tuesday, wearing nothing but a helmet, shorts, t-shirt and sneakers. Easily going 70 or so in a 35.

Nice...

Dude deserves jail time, but I admire his bravery

And please tell me how that video (or any "witnesses") was enough to identify who the rider was? Total BS.

There's been a lot to this story.

They basically knew who did it right from the start (This guy was known, plus public tips) They I.Ded the bike by markings on it in the video. Scratches and such that were visible in the Video and on the bike after they seized it. They couldnt prove who was riding it though and unless he cracks and confesses I don't think they can prove it yet.

The bike is registered (No insurance) in his mother's name. She owns it so she was hit with about $1500 in fines. The officers said they basically planned to tie it up in so much legal BS that he would never get it back.

Still but how can somebody be prosecuted by a video. Think about all the stunting videos that went around. I saw a State LEO up here (MSP) on the news stating they can't prosecute because it wasn't witnessed by an LEO.

Again, they are going to tie it up based on what? It's BS!

The only reason they're pursuing this so heavily is because they're pissed that a guy would flaunt it on Youtube. They take it personally --- it's an affront to their manlihood and their "author-i-TAY". And they will harrass and violate his privacy until they get what they want. Meanwhile, all their other investigations will get neglected.

Exactly.... I get that but I don't see how any court of common sense won't just laugh at their charges.
