They can't see his face, but there aren't that many people that own LP640's in the world, so it's not gonna be that hard to find him.Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
And you're right, unless if the police can prove that he did 219, they can only pin him for reckless driving.

This is what I would cite the genius with.
1. Unsafe Lane Deviation - $160
2. Unreasonable and imprudent speed - $198
3. Speeding in excess of fixed limits (45mph or more-highest the USTDS goes) - $501
4. Reckless driving - $375
In addition his liscence would be revoked.

nothing can be proven from a youtube video...case shut
as for it not looking that fast inside the car....the 202 loop is really wide...so it mostly an optical illusion...the outside drive by tells all..

I imagine that someone's name will eventually be given up and then citations issued. Remember, if theirs enough evidence to make it to trial, then the decision is on the jury.

but how do you issue a citation based on something that is quite possibly fake or edited. It's not like some by stander videotaped this or produced it. The driver did.
If they could actually convict people of speeding and reckless driving from youtube...thousands of people would be arrested everyday....including myself, all of my close friends. There are sooooo many acceleration, racing, and top speed videos on youtube from public streets.
So if they did start doing that...where do they draw the line. If a person video tapes themselves going 5 over the limit...does that equate to a ticket? What about a burnout in a parking lot? You know what I mean? They just cant go handing out tickets based on home movies when it comes to driving.

If they have probable cause, then yes they can. Im not saying I would do it, but for videos like this, where in the blink of an eye, something can go wrong and cause great bodily harm or death, citations are needed and he should lose his liscence.
In the matter of how you issue citations to people on youtube. Get a name and then question them, if they confess and its the good of the community to issue a ticket, then they deserve a forfiture.
Im not trying to come off as an ass, but if your willing to break the law, then you should be ready to pay the consequences.

In many states, exceeding the speed limit by a certain extreme amount results in charges of attempted vehicular manslaughter. I know that's the way it is here in Kansas.

Do you know what amount it is? Or is it under certain conditions (location near school, minors in the car...)?

Many folks own LP640's, however, the area they'll be able to pinpoint this guy will be much easier.
Case not shut. The color of the LP640 is a custom ordered color. It hasn't been on any Lamborghini since the Diablo 6.0 SE. Thus, all police have to do now is actually track it down.

In December 2000 motorcyclist Daniel Nicks was jailed for six weeks and banned for two years after filming himself doing 175mph aboard his Honda Fireblade on the A41 in Hertfordshire.
The father-of-two strapped a camcorder to his helmet and roared along the A41 in Hertfordshire before he crashed. Police found the camera, played back the tape and charged him.

Joke? Otherwise, do you like the Gumball fatal accident this year more?
I remember an article stating about some motorcyclist doing about 300kmh between traffic ('between traffic' means riding at line between cars going opposite ways...) with a camera on his bike. There was a photo in the article... made seconds before hitting the car front-to-front...In December 2000 motorcyclist Daniel Nicks was jailed for six weeks and banned for two years after filming himself doing 175mph aboard his Honda Fireblade on the A41 in Hertfordshire.

right I'm not saying they couldnt find him...and if you read this entire thread it has already been said that his name and face were on tv. I'm just saying they cant prove anything from a youtube video.
I think its weird that the cops would even bother watching youtube to try and find criminal acts.
oh and I'm not saying it was safe either ...or that he doesnt deserve a ticket. I just admire fast cars...and since he did no damage I would like to see this one let off. Only one time though for this guy

Where exactly has someone said the driver's face was visible? As far as I've read, it seems more like his face isn't. However, that doesn't mean they can't prove it was him.
That LP640 is the only one of its kind in the world. The owner is a dentist who now runs a porno website in which the car has been seen. The only rumour is that Robert (the owner) was not driving the car. Regardless, there is evidence in the video this car is speeding. And since there is this is the only LP640 in this color, there is only 1 owner they need to investigate.
As for the last part, I find that very strange. Are you implying that anyone who gets pulled over for speeding should just be let off because they didn't do any damage? I think a main point is that he could have done damage.
