I know this didn't happen here, but it could:

You can bet it will happen here. In the future, crimes against the intangible entity known as the state, "crimes" which do not involve damage to persons or property, will not be tolerated.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to say what a dumb-*** this guy is (he is indeed) and how the state is protecting us from ourselves, but I ain't buying. I am reminded of Orwell's line in 1984: If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. That is where we are headed.

Very simple, if you make a video and want to post it put a disclaimer with it.
THIS VIDEO WAS MADE DOING LEGAL SPEED LIMITS AND FALLOWING ALL ROAD LAWS. IT WAS EDITED TO MAKE SPEED LOOK FASTER AND RIDING MORE EXCITING.
Make sure in your edit you never show the speedo, wheelies, stoppies...

Well, I'm not from the UK, but you guys in the US probably should have a look at how your own country deals with illegals before you advice others... Just saying...

Yep. Ain't no place on Earth got everything right. I prefer the freedoms we enjoy here (in the USA) still. It will change. It's changing already. It's still nice to be able to get out on the backroads and tear it up.

Perhaps to please the US we should do this to every Johnny Foreigner who steps on the cracks of the pavement...

Wasn't advice, just an observation with some personal perspective for taste.

Turning off the cell phone may be helpful, or maybe not.
The Feds recently passed legislation permitting drone surveillance in US airspace.
We certainly do that better than anyone.

Are we talking "illegals" as in illegal immigration? I thought we were pretty soft to them. There does seem to be an awful lot of them. On the one hand, some folks are trying to get rid of them, and on the other, some folks are trying to care for them, pandering to their human rights, regardless how they got here. What do you suggest? I really like to hear people's opinions on a problem when they mention them.

I was born and raised in the US. My ancestors came from Germany in 1731, before there was a US. I have had family fight in every American war. I love this country, especially the land.
But F-U-C-K the government and all of their bullshit. We claim to be free and better than everyone else, but we are one of the worst countries out there, government wise. All they care about is money and power, citizens are just their worker ants. We don't have easy access to unaffordable healthcare, because if we get sick we have the pay out the *** for medical attention, and most politicians have their hand in medical insurance and pharmacuticles, which just turns our misfortunes into dollar signs for them. They are corrupt, incompetent, and power hungry. I fully understand why foreigners have a bad view of the American people, I just wish they knew how much we agreed with them and that it is the government. I've always found it funny that we can vote on who we want to lead the country but that even the minorty vote holder can be chosen. The same goes for most laws that citizens don't want passed, we don't even get to vote on those, some bastard Senator or.Congressman does, and usually in an outcome that they benefit from.
Don't try and fool everyone. We may have all these "freedoms", but in reality those have been taken away or violated without you knowing. The USA has long since changed from the free land to a business for profit, and unless we awake from our McDonalds and satellite tv induced coma they will continue to **** us.
