@@coreytaylor5386 Well they charged maximum possible punishment for tax evasion for him, tickets I think don't seem to have a legal limit from what I could find though and a cop did dish out a 1 million dollar speeding ticket as the most expensive ticket ever, although you can contest tickets in court under the claim that the ticket was unreasonable for the crime committed or in an attempt to prove yourself innocent. If whoever saw the picture looked up the plate number and was like "oh shit, I get to nail Bezos with a fine" they could theoretically threaten his entire life's worth and leave him paying court fees to dodge the ticket, or they can charge just enough that a good lawyer would be too expensive and he actually pays the government for something for the first time in his life.
Back in the 1950s I got a ticket for going too fast on my bicycle. I was happy that I was going to be able to brag to my pals until the bobby wrote it out. It was for "Furious riding". Only in Britain would a cop even know about an old law aimed at idiots on horses.
Awesome, I would've framed mine too. Got pulled over, early 80's in Orlando Florida one day on my 10-speed, 45mph in a 30 mph zone...They only gave me a warning though dammit (and wanted to see who was riding that fast).
I think Jeff would’ve just paid a company to Uber him around and Max just ended up charging an AMERICAN transport company with a “furious biking” ticket from the UK. And thinking about that makes it funnier
@Jonas Jonaitis they will find out where you live and you will get a letter from them asking you for your personal information to send you the ticket. If you don't send it they threaten to take you to court.
@@malachiroberts1465 Yes and no, the UK would probably search EU plate database for the registration, that said, even this might fail as the plate does not meet any EU plate standard. A US car wouldn't just be driving on US plates while in the UK.
A friend of mine got a moving violation ticket while on rollerblades in Germany. He held up a license plate which was caught by a camera and received the ticket in the mail.
@@6023barath So in Germany the speeding cameras take the photo from the front, so anyone else could just say thats clearly not me. But if you want to make expensive potrait pictures you can do it.
@@6023barath He did it specifically to get a ticket because he thought it would be funny. They give you a photo of the violation which he probably framed. It was a military soldier. We do dumb things sometimes.
@@technikchaot Some cameras also take a picture from the back of the vehicle, to catch motor bikes, because they only have a license plate in the back. And sometimes they take pictures of trees, especially in 2018 near Bitburg, where somebody planted a tree in front of a stationary camera.
The question that's burning in my chest is. Did Jeff get the over-speeding ticket as it is a US number plate and the cycle was in the UK. Just curious 😃
@@lynwood5991 no he would never get it bc first it's another country and they don't have access to united States records to mail anything to him even if they wanted to mail it to him. They would have no idea who's plate it is.
You saw the 360 drift bike guy that was in this video right? Or those videos where people set off the camera and have their friends moon it right? People set these things off for fun all the time
All I could think was "Imagine if there was some secret code in all the cameras that made them conveniently not function properly if they detected Jeff's license plate"
Even if the UK had a way to issue a speeding ticket to someone in the US, you need a state on that license plate because the US issues plates by state and there are potentially 50 people with that same number, one from each state
@@BHWinkle UK legislation disagrees, it's not a motor vehicle because it doesn't have a motor, it's not mechanically propelled. It would be no different to saying "If you run down the road and set a speed camera off you get prosecuted". Doesn't make sense. In simple terms the bike is being powered by your legs, that are actually having to rotate to make the bike move, in the same way that your legs would do all the work if you ran down hill.
It's like watching someone find all the cheat codes in a shitty video game. I'm confused as to why you spend so much time figuring this out, but I'm also sincerely impressed with your dedication.
idk but americans aren't allowed to speed in the uk . i think that if an american speeds in the uk they'll send the fine to the us . im not a police officer so idk if my logic makes sense.
0:30 | The helmet is from Amazon, the trainers are from Amazon, the hi-viz is from Amazon, The speed gun is on Amazon, the NUMBER PLATE is on Amazon, so you paied him back! :)
@@sonicdml4175 No, he used the x:/also x: format, which is used to show two contradictory actions. Seeing the title and seeing the youtuber are not two contradictory actions. It is, in fact, possible to both see the title and youtuber without contradicting yourself.
@@godlyvex5543 You are assuming that was the intention, when to me it is clear that. 1. Upon seeing the video title being ridiculous and clickbaity, they assumed it was clickbait (reasonable) 2. Upon checking the channel, and realising it's Max Fosh (someone known for clickbaity things, but actually doing them instead of pretending to. Who has also done more ridiculous stuff), the commenter realised that it is, in fact, not clickbait. Although I'm not sure why you felt the need to respond, considering its literally just a joke the original commenter made.
Now imagine doing this in a country where the fine scales with your net worth like Finland and somehow managing to make this legally work. Bezos would get literally the biggest speeding fine in history. Imagine a fine in hundreds of millions, near a billion.
I mean, of course you can't make it legally work, because Bezos himself would have to be the driver for it to be legally correct, but yes, he would probably get the biggest speeding fine in history.
Love the Great North run shirt, had to do a double take when I first saw that, as my first thought was the Sydney harbour bridge. Great vid by the way, cheers from Aus, btw the great north run for 2022 was yesterday.
I've cycled down Bayswater road almost every day for a year and never even noticed the speed camera there lol. Definitely didn't set it off despite going well above 20. You can also find me cycling down Bayswater road on Google maps; I saw the google maps car one day then later checked google maps and there I was.
How would you even know whether you triggered the speed camera or not? Were you watching it the whole time? Oh wait, obviously not because you said yourself that you didn't even notice it. People really be saying anything for likes. It's pathetic.
@@Joe11924 Hi there, I like to comment my own experiences relevant to youtube videos even if I know they will probably be burried. I didn't realise this comment had any likes until your reply notified my as such. The reason I am assuming that the camera never caught me is because I do not remember noticing a flash. Max struggled to get the camera to take a picture and I was not wearing a lisence plate or high-vis clothing or going as fast as Max was in the video, meaning that it is very likely (I would say definite) that the speed camera did not capture me. You are right, I cannot know for sure because even if the speed camera did capture me, how could they fine me if I don't have an identification plate.
He does pay taxes though. He didn't pay *income* taxes in 2007 and 2011. But he had no positive income in 2007 and 2011. So there was nothing to pay taxes on. You can't pay income taxes without income. This isn't shady its just common fucking sense. He paid all the property and expense taxes he owed.
Went to check "furious cycling" and found this: *Laws that apply to motorists but NOT cyclists…* Speeding offence: Because bikes aren’t fitted with speedometers, cyclists can’t be charged with speeding offences. HOWEVER, if they are considered to be going too fast for the conditions, they could be charges with ‘wanton or furious cycling’ which is a criminal offence under section 35 of the Offences Against the Persons Act 1861 (as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1948 s1(2))
Except that it doesn't apply in this case. The actual offence is "Causing bodily harm by wanton or furious cycling". Just "wanton or furious cycling" is not an offence. You have to "do, or cause to be done, bodily harm to any person whatsoever". So, you have to actually injure someone (presumably including yourself) for it to be illegal. Offences Against the Persons Act 1861, Section 35: "Drivers of carriages injuring persons by furious driving. Whosoever, having the charge of any carriage or vehicle, shall by wanton or furious driving or racing, or other wilful misconduct, or by wilful neglect, do or cause to be done any bodily harm to any person whatsoever, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years"
Your impression of an American "skater bro" was scarily spot-on. I know too many people here who sound like that, and you hit the nail right on the head with that accent. Bravo!
@@pedrobambinoperez2572 probably not, it's impossible that American numberplates are recognized automatically because there is no need at all for the UK municipality to be accessing a US database (if there even is one). There aren't enough American cars on UK roads to justify the cost of maintaining an automated system. The case would be handled manually and then it's be clear that it's just a guy on a bike.
Jeff may be rich, but do you think he would fly his own personal Escalade into NYC for a shopping trip? You may have just gotten a poor taxi driver fired for speeding LOL
I mean there's 0 chance this ticket makes it to Jeff or even the guy in the video. It's an NY plate on the car, Max is using a UK plate. Even if they somehow decided it was a US plate, there's 50 potential vehicles it could be registered to.
Max is literally the most original RU-vidr I've ever seen. Even though it's barely been a week since I found this channel, it's already my favorite one.
Is it even legal to frame someone else for a speeding ticket? Something tells me that Max wouldn't be able to pay himself out justice as easily as Jeff...
@@koopa1231 well that isn’t true. Just look at 0:22. Red double decker, very Londonish and a yellow number plate. This is in no way in the US. Not to mention they drive on the wrong side of the road.
The trick with roller blades is to get low to the ground and push off hard. Also helps if you're going down a hill. I think I've probably topped 50 mph doing that, but it's dangerous as hell, especially if you're doing it in a place there's vehicular traffic. If you want to pick up roller skating though it's a great hobby. One of these days I want to build a massive skating rink out in the middle of nowhere and just go really fast all the time. Simple things, you know.
Fastest I've ever gone downhill on a bike a 57 mph. Hella fast, with brakes! There was actually a 30 mph speed camera at the foot of a hill in Oxford that I'd often do high 30s to 40 past, but never got flashed by it 😕
I don't think we should tell him, but I live in Canada, and when someone gets a speeding ticket from a camera, the police sends images to the plate owner proving that it was his/her car...
When i saw the title, i was very surprised, like even for Maximilius Foshliston this is alot! His originality is out of this world, wouldnt be surprised if that was literally the case for the next video.
Hey, MATTx11duez here, this is the second time this has happened and I’m losing my mind. Out of all the comments, what are the odds I find yours? Well 100% apparently because it happened.
He paid $0.00. This is a US license plate number (with no state listed on it) being read in the UK. They could clearly see he was on a bike and it would just be tossed out and not pursued probably.
Interesting fact- in the uk (can’t speak for anywhere else) some speed cameras are empty. Say in an area- let’s take the south west, you’ll have 400 cameras. Only around 200-250 will have a camera in at a time. You can see which cameras have cameras inside if they have the little timer inside following you which uses either radar or IR to measure your speed. A lot of cameras, such as the Gatso, are only rear facing so that won’t matter as when you see if they have a camera in, you’ll be past it, but a lot of cameras do both front facing, and front and rear facing speed. Since around 50-60% of cameras are functional, it’s practically a lottery. Motorways are similar in that they use Redflex cameras which are a total lottery as to whether they even work or not. So my advice is to drive around 140mph at all times and you have like a 40% chance of not getting caught probably. Good luck fellow idiots!
I get this video is just for fun but there’s no possible way that a speeding ticket issued in the UK could go to someone who’s registered their car in the US.
It must be at least possible, but the authorities here would presumaby be checking their facts first before making a licence plate enquiry with the relevant US state's vehincle registry, so they'd see that the photo was just a cyclist with letters on his shirt and so wouldn't bother. It also occured to me though that 3 letters followed by three numbers is a valid plate format here for pre-1963 registered cars, so it could automatically fine the person who owns the same plate but from the DVLA here.
Also that car is probably registered to some poor transport company who was hired to drive Jeff around for a day, I doubt the car belongs to him personally but I know that’s not the point
Haven't watched all the way through - I'd be very surprised if a UK speed camera recognises an American number plate. Edit: Well I'll be buggered. Edit2: Actually, it probably does the recognising after the speed detection, so maybe it didn't.
Not to mention that this shape of number plate is used all over North America (i.e., Mexico, Canada, not just the US) and that the numbers are _not_ unique between states or provinces.
You seriously think an american can speed through cameras without getting the fine? Also from experience I know it works in germany to other countries licence plates
