Default You ever have someone video you while...

you are driving more aggresively? So today I'm on my way home from the gym in the Cobra and this dude damn near takes off my rear bumper hotrodding in a damn Hyundai Genesis. I drop down a gear and run up his *** to let him know that was uncool and so he starts weaving in and out of cars trying to lose me. I let him go but keep following him hoping we get some room so I can get up next to him and drag some ***. As I am following him (at a safe distance, as he is weaving through cars) I notice a truck behind me has jumped in the mix and is video-ing the back of my car

Keep in mind, I have not actually exceeded the speed limit (yet) and have not cut anyone off or anything like that, but I noticed him take several videos over a few miles. My wife says he just liked the car, but I don't know what to think. Am I being overly paranoid?

Probably just liked the car. I have thought of recording a car before that I have seen but never had.

I am weary about people taping me racing after reading this:

Doesn't mean it will happen but it also mean it's def possible.

That's understandable and pretty messed up but the fact that he admitted it and posted it like that is the reason he was caught. I still don't think they should be able to arrest someone for that and not be caught in the act. It would be different for different levels of offenses. For instance if you posted a video of you killing someone then yes arrest that person but not for speeding.

I actually had someone video me yesterday when I was doing some datalogging. Got a thumbs up and then phone camera was hanging outside as I got on it. I actually figured it maybe someone on here or another local forum.

LOL! They were in front of me for a little bit some I'm guessing he thought there was a modded FedEX truck because of the sound so he was hoping to get the first video of one up on YouTube but then saw the VW LOL!

I got on it one time because someone was hanging too close to me. Then when I hit 4-5 lanes wide I just moved over and cruised. Next thing I know this idiot pulls up next to me and starts honking. I usually ignore such overt attempts to get my attention but I thought maybe I know this pud. As soon as I turn my head I see this moron with a camera on me smiling so I turn my head back straight ahead.

Yes, it did make me paranoid because I figure this guy wanted to get me on camera punching it on the street and then get a pic of my ugly mug and put them together to try to narc on me. It had to be that because I know I'm not a superstar with paparazzi nutswingers after me lol.

lol, that thing does sound like a dump truck with straight pipes on it.

When it's in boost it sounds awesome though.
