Making a Street Racing DVD and legal issues that may arise?Name: Kyle Location: Omaha, NE E-Mail: [email]ZANNYCAT@aol.com[/email] The reason I am posting is to look into any legal problems I might run into with making a Street Racing DVD of local street racing that we do in our city (Omaha) every weekend. I have accumulated over 15 hours of footage ranging from street racing to car shows to track racing and want to make a compilation of these things. Could you please elaborate as much as possible as far as what kind of legal complications I COULD run into with doing this? I have been told by someone who has made a street racing DVD before that if your camera is visible and has a red RECORD light on it, that is enough permission to have the person on a DVD unless on the cover or promotional materials. I am mainly concerned about people (my friends) being harrassed / ticketed / arrested by the police from this and then also having my computer seized/searched/etc because I have the "illegal activities" stored on it. Any light you can shed on this would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Kyle P.S. you can check out some of my videos at: [url]www.neneons.org/vids[/url] this is the best one yet: [url]http://www.neneons.org/vids/wednightsr.wmv[/url] Last edited by OmahaRacing; 05-10-2004 at 03:38 PM.

| Once you publish the dvd, the police will know it contains evidence of crimes (drag racing) & will buy a copy & use it to arrest people. You'll be dragged into court over & over to authenticate the dvd as being the one you published. If you edit out the license plates & faces, the police will get a subpoena for your original digital files & take your computer for analysis. By the time you get it back, the computer will be too old to run the newest software.

| There's plenty of other people out there that make illegal street racing DVD's, who knows, they could have those problems, but I doubt it.
