I'm sure I wouldn't be very popular with the racer dudes, but that's the breaks.

Rich,
It's possible but unlikely since the act itself is a misdemeanor.
It's also possible that the SAO could direct file the case based upon that evidence, but again, for now, I wouldn't hold my breath (unless it became a political hotcake).
The more likely scenario would be that the department would analyze the tape for tags, vehicle descriptions, names, whatever they could get, and use the intell to build an on scene case against the idiots. At least thats what I'd do with it.
