How Do They Get Away With It?

It's a long shot, but if they really wanted to they can go techie. (like they probably did for the Victoria BC rider that got caught uploading a vid to youtube)

1. Youtube complies with law enforcement.
2. Acquire IP from where the user uploaded the video and reference other account activity.
3. Acquire MAC address from the device used to upload the video.
4. Get warrant
5. Go to house, match bike, match IP, match MAC address, match gear and distinctive marks on bike from other videos. If the person is living by them self, I'd think that it would be beyond resonable doubt that that would be the guy....

Maybe I'm just talking **** though..

They got the bike in the end, but not the rider.

An investigation began after the video was posted to YouTube and went viral, quickly tallying 1.7-million hitsJudge Robert Higinbotham ruled that although officers were able to identify the motorcycle, the Crown could not identify the driver beyond a reasonable doubt, and the judge criticized police, saying it is frustrating that useful investigative approaches were not considered important.
Despite the acquittal, Scott and his mother, who was the registered owner of the 2006 Yamaha R-1, will not get the motorcycle back because Eassie says police only had to prove the bike was used illegally in order to seize it and sell it through the civil forfeiture process.

Although the kid is guilty and what not, this scenario would suck real bad if you had your bike stolen and then it got seized.

Or let a 'friend' borrow it. With the stolen scenario, provided you had insurance and reported it right away, you should be fine

I've looked at these videos and wondered how can the cops stop this many yahoos in a pack.
Then it dawned on me.
The cars that they use for starting harness races.
Get in front of the pack, deploy the gates and slow down.
Note: All juristictions that use this method will owe me 10% of fines collected the first year. :)
