A woman was arrested after uploading a video of herself which showed her being pursued by police in a car chase.
She was charged with driving a motor vehicle while over the alcohol limit, no insurance, driving without a licence and failure to stop.
Sophie Ross, 23, filmed herself driving along a road in Sunderland on Snapchat and police can be seen chasing her behind. The clip went viral and it soon circulated on other social media accounts.
Showing police behind her, she says to the camera: “Look at them chasing me, look at them!”
She adds: “Who gives a f*** about the bizzies [police], are you mad?”
A Northumbria Police spokesperson told LADbible: “A 23-year-old woman was arrested and charged with driving a motor vehicle while over the alcohol limit, no insurance, driving without a licence and fail to stop.”
This is not the first time when someone put themselves into trouble by breaking the law and recording the video of the same to share on social media. A group of young men filmed a series of dangerous stunts and uploaded it to Snapchat.
A court heard how Oliver Barton, 19, was caught riding on the bonnet of a car while it was driving at 50mph along a road in snowy conditions. Connor Fleming, 20, who was sitting in a back seat filmed the video while Lucas Blanchard, 20, was driving the red Volkswagen Polo.
Earlier that evening, Fleming had also filmed driver Joseph Clayton, 19 in the other incident where Clayton ‘perched himself half out’ of a blue VW Polo and sat ‘on the top of the driver’s door hanging out of the car.’
Both of Clayton’s hands were outside the vehicle. Prosecutor Stephen Parker told Burnley Crown Court that emergency services had been informed about the road traffic collision at the roundabout of Bocholt Way and Bacup Road in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, at 12.15 am.
Police then took the four defendants’ mobile phones and found Snapchat content saved on Fleming’s device.
Parker said: “That shows not the whole conduct of the defendants that evening, but it is apparent that the filming of these defendants recovered are mere snapshots of their behavior.
“There was no footage of the actually crash but there are effectively extracts of windows in time of their offending.
“They had been in various pubs. There were photographs and films of pints of lager on the table.”
