Highway 507 ride

The 300kph bike in BC. How'd they get his address? Youtube/ISP. Who'd they arrest? His mom, registered owner of the bike.

How did cops find my address? Youtube/ISP. Who'd they come question, ME, registered bike owner. Asked me to delete my offending youtube videos and if they received another complaint they'd arrest me.

There's a huge difference from doing 300 kmph on a busy highway as opposed to someone having a leisurely ride out in the country all alone... It would have to be an extremely slow day at the office for them to even think about looking for speeding Ontarian motorcyclists on youtube lol.

The reason he was here was for the youtube videos, he just mentioned to me he told the MTO not to issue me the plates I ordered. I have a witness that was standing right beside me thanks.

If anyone sends a complaint to them they have to follow up, that's what he said re: my video.

Well as a former Copper, I can assure you the NO officer has the authority to tell MTO anything. We could forward our concerns about say a seniors ability to continue to hold a DL, (based upon an incident, say accident), BUT it is an MTO decision. Personalized plate denials are based upon criteria set out by the MTO regs, (certainly there are cases of this going awry), but as Inferno correctly stated there is an appeals process.

This guy has some of the best stories. When he takes off his tinfoil hat, some of the stories end up here as a "look at me" type deal.
 
I was having a boring Monday lunch break and I stumbled upon this thread...

Quite amusing HPV's comments I must say.

He just said he would tell the MTO not to issue them. I'm sure he has no direct authority to do so, maybe he just simply "reminded" the MTO that the plate meant street racing or whatever. They denied the plate because it was "offensive". I assume they just meant the FU part. No idea if the "suggestion" of the officer to the MTO had any effect on them getting denied though. As a former copper send him an e-mail jagalipeau@drps.ca and you can verify the details ;)

Did his charge stick? And if so, it's probably because he didnt stfu and something to the police.

Can't find the outcome, might still be before the courts but they had pretty clear evidence which bike it was so either the owner gets charged or the rider fesses up. This is my non-legal-expert opinion.

I believe in order for the charge to stick they would need to prove it was him, on the particular day in question, on the particular bike in question. Circumstantial evidence would be enough to charge, but not to convict. Also in my non-legal expert opinion.

Now if he started yapping about what he did/didn't do, whole 'nother story.
 
A more likely scenario of events was that the cops identified the Youtube poster, identified the bike from vehicles registered to that name, went to the address, and asked questions, during which process either the rider or the owner of the bike made the mistake of answering the questions that the cops asked, thus incriminating themselves. THIS is certainly plausible.

"I don't know." "I will not answer your questions." Or complete silence. Unless the cops can fill in all the blanks themselves, there is no case.

They arrested his mom. It would have been up to her to prove who had been riding the bike, if it in fact wasn't her (the registered vehicle owner). The son was getting quite a bit of flak from his friends/family/the media for letting his mom go to jail so eventually he had to confess to get his mom released from jail and the charges moved to him.
