New York City police arrested a 30-year-old man they say posted a video to YouTube where he claims to have made the 26.5-mile loop around Manhattan in 24 minutes and seven seconds in a BMW Z3.

Christopher Adam Tang, 30, was charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment; his car was seized by police, the report said, MyFoxNY.com reported.
The trip starts at the intersection of the FDR Drive, which runs along the east side of Manhattan, and 116th Street. The car drives south along the FDR before heading back up the West Side Highway and turning east at the George Washington Bridge.

The video poster claims he made the time despite having to stop at six red lights.
The alleged driver, who goes by the code name AfroDuckProduction, says he made the run on August 26. He says he broke the 27-minute record set in 2001 even though he had to stop at several red lights.

Big brother is everywhere... he probably posted it on YouTube from his home/work Internet connection. All it would have taken is 2 phone calls from NYPD, first to YouTube to get his IP address, 2nd to his ISP to get his Name/Address. Scary times we live in, just because you have an anonymous handle on the internet, doesn't make you the least bit anonymous without other counter-measures.

Ha, it would be fun to lap 610. I think the fastest I have driven inside the loop is about 140ish on I-10. It was late at night and the freeway was empty. I was also like 21.

I drove warp speed on 610... come and arrest me!

Probably too late to use the 5th Amendment (self-incrimination) as a defense?

Definitely, it's in the public domain now. But you never know, he could always call Lois Lerner and ask for some tips...

He can just tell the judge: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

This story isn't the same but, I got a ticket going 90 in a 75 and got a "lawyer". His defense was, "Your honor, he was driving a BMW, so 90 feels like you are only going 60", wasn't funny at the time but I am laughing now.
