Reckless Driver Caught on YouTube

The police have so many resources to catch crime now a days. The lastest in their arsenal is via the internet. Police in Norway got ahold of a video on YouTube of a reckless driver speeding nearly up 150 miles per hour. This young Norwegian posted a video called "Driving in Norway on the most popular video-sharing site called YouTube. He was driving on a public highway near Oslo. After making national news, the website took his video off the internet. Now what the police did was they followed an electronic trail he left online. This makes you question the privacy the internet provides you. Is it fair that this young guy got caught and will have to pay $1300 when he was not caught in the act? He did speed and he did endanger other drives on that particular highway. I feel that YouTube should censor more of what they provide so this does not happen anymore. At least no one got hurt in the filming of this video joy ride. I find it ridiculous that people mess around when they are in fast moving vehicles. Do they really need to speed? Is it the thrill they get out of it or is it the danger they seek?
