In Texas, a motorcyclist posted a video of himself with his helmet camera speeding through rush hour traffic at speeds above 100 mph on Facebook with the caption "catch me if you can". Police plan to do exactly what he said. During the video, the motorcyclist speeds and cuts people off in traffic and drives recklessly. A person posted the video on the San Antonio Police Department's Facebook page. Sgt. Javier Salazar said, "Really all it would have taken was a split second for him to impact the lives of several people, possibly killing someone just by his very actions." He is right. If he hits a car he would fly off the motorcycle and fall down and break his bones severely or possibly die or kill someone else. The motorcyclist is said to be Alberto Rodriguez who is twenty-seven. Rodriguez is also wanted on two felony warrants and one misdemeanor for family violence. Authorities have all his information and are currently looking for him. Officer McManus says, "So if Mr. Rodriguez is watching, he might as well turn himself in because it's only a matter of time before we catch you." If the authorities catch Rodriguez, he should be ready to face charges up to $200 and thirty days in jail. It is people like this in the world that cause accidents and deaths. People need to understand that driving a powerful object is a privilege and they need to not mess around with it. People take driving as a joke and that needs to stop.
