YouTube Video Helps Cops Catch Speeder

A salesman for St. Louis Motorsports was recently charged in Chesterfield City Court with speeding 150 miles per hour along the slow lane of Chesterfield Airport Road near Highway 40. He was charged after a video of his escapades in a Lamborghini was posted on YouTube. Chesterfield police noticed and the driver was charged with "careless and reckless driving" - a misdemeanor. The salesman's boss, Jim Mills, said the videos have been pulled from YouTube and that his employee has been reprimanded.

Here's an example of someone getting his 15 minutes of fame and getting in trouble for it. If he was so stupid to put this video on YouTube, then I think he deserves what he got.

Here's the link to the story:
