Odd question, but is it illegal for someone to take a photo of your license plate? I ask this because I was recently involved in an incident where, a lady thought I cut her off in traffic. I merely switched lanes, but this seemed to displease her a lot. I could see in my mirrors that she was obviously trying to take a picture of my plate. It actually bothered me that she would do such a move.
Can I be prosecuted for a speeding violation after the fact, based on evidence found online? For example, say I go out late at night and drive 100 on an empty road and no cop sees me, but then I post a picture of the speedometer on Facebook showing how fast I was going. Could a cop use that to prosecute me?
The response someone left is a crock. If going over 100 is unsafe, why are there ANY EUROPEANS left? Why do cars have speedos that go up to 180 or so? It may be illegal in the us, but that is the issue.
