Didn't this kid say he covered his tracks and the police would not find him when he posted his video

Can't he just say that the video was edited? How can they prove it was him driving or that the speeds and times were accurate?

Tang rejected the plea, now it's up to the DA to take it to trial, which they probably think they can't win, hence the plea offer.

My guess it will be dropped.

I saw the vid. He is by no means reckless.

As a green card holder myself, this made me laugh:

"Gomez says the Canadian wants to avoid any criminal record because of possible immigration complications."

He's a douche who posted his douchy behavior on line. F¥ck him.

NYC have their own Video from around the city, yes the idiot probably hid the plate, but with his video and theirs they can prove it is him. Not hard thing to do these days.

He did it in the wee hours of the morning and likely in the summer when the roads are in better shape.

I'm genuinely curious so don't flame me if my questions are stupid.

Can they even go after him after the fact since they didn't catch him in the act? What's to stop NYC from checking all their traffic cams and issuing speeding tickets to every speeder they find in the videos?

He went douche+ mode particularly at the very end of the video. He appeared to aggressively tailgate a couple of cars and he also appeared to make some really tight lane changes.

They have that system set up for red lights. Not speeding. They issue a ticket to the car, not the driver, so it is just a fine, no points.

I am sure they are pursuing this because of all the media attention it brought, just like those bikers who beat up the SUV driver who ran one of them over last year.

Yes, in NY that statue of limitation on something like this is 1 or 2 yrs, this was the issue with this smart ass who claimed to have covered his tracks so the authorities would not catch him. He released the video with in days of doing where as everyone else who did similar things waited until they new the police could not come after them even if they figured out who they were.

This is was the authorities are making an example out of him.
