Shopped by Youtube


Dunno if you've caught this news story which appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning. What an eejit.

Judge Youtube
As a man who posted video online of himself speeding at 130mph has been handed a four-month suspended prison term, police are increasingly relying on YouTube as a crime fighting weapon.
When an anonymous e-mail dropped in the inbox of Suffolk Police last autumn the fate of Danny Hyde was sealed.

It drew to the attention of officers a video posted on YouTube of Hyde, 18, driving his Astra one-handed at 130mph along the A14 near Ipswich.

He filmed it himself on his mobile phone and the footage included shots of the speedometer and the road ahead as he sped past other vehicles.

Police managed to identify Hyde and he admitted the offence to magistrates, earning a four-month suspended prison term.


And just in case you haven't formed a mental picture of the sort of person who's moronic enough to do this:



Sadly, I haven't been able to find the youtube video in question... :(

I like the way his moronic brow points to the ideal target for my hollow tipped bolt...

It looks like someone's already had a go - they missed him by an eyebrow's width - you can see where the bolt just clipped the hair away from the eyebrow...
