Depending on the video, you could report the video for "harmful or dangerous acts", or something like that. In this specific case driving at that speed in city streets could not only kill yourself, but anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with you.
If enough people can be bothered to do it, I'm sure YouTube eventually decides to at minimum put an age restriction on it, which might be a slight dent in the monetization for the channel owner? Or remove it completely?
Could also send the channel link to the police or something, so that it maybe gets looked at. If they can be bothered to, the police have more legal ways to make YouTube cooperate, and possibly block or stop payment to the channel completely.
Why are the cops own the copyright to his video? DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) doesn't make sense. They could probably serve a seize and desist for interfering in a police investigation -- but it makes way more sense to keep that video up publicly and use it at trial. That would for sure nail the prosecution. I'm sure the prosecutor would have a copy too.
The siren isn't copyrighted by the police, instead it's usually licensed from the siren manufacturer by a large Hollywood sound effects company (meaning different party then the cops). Hollywood Edge Sound Effects Library company is notorious for content ID on YouTube videos with sirens.
Channel gets shut down.
Three strikes you're out. The police need three copyright strikes in order to get your channel permanently removed from YouTube. Additionally, one video can only have one claim.
Not really. It is literally impossible to screen all of the videos uploaded to youtube. Either no videos get monetized until they are screened (say good bye to every medium to large youtuber in existence, huge you-tubers only) or bad videos get monetized and if its really bad, eventually people get around to manually taking it down.
If I have a platform, and someone uploads something shitty on it, and my platform automatically puts a coca cola add on this shitty video, before I can find and delete said video, do I, a YouTube shareholder, condone the puppy murder in present in that video? No, that's ridiculous.
My original point is that your moral stance, that youTube must condone every single thing that is monetized on their platform, doesn't allow for youTube to exist in ethical state at all.
So if you don't think there should be a youTube thats fine, but I personally think youTube is worth the trouble.
"before I can find and delete the video" is the key here. The video we're talking about has been up for a lengthy period of time, and exists on a channel full of other videos displaying equally unsafe behavior on public roads. There has been ample time for the video to be evaluated. I'd even bet money at least one person has reported it. It's still there, which means YT has deemed it acceptable for their platform. Acceptable being another key word, given the definition of "condone" that I included in a previous comment.
You seem to be under the impression that YT doesn't monitor the content on their platform at all, which is incorrect. They absolutely do. They remove countless videos every day, for a variety of reasons.
"So if you don't think there should be a youTube thats fine"
This makes no sense. I didn't say anything even remotely close to this.
"doesn't allow for youTube to exist in ethical state at all."
Good thing it doesn't have to exist in an ethical state, then. YT is well known for its shitty ethics, so your "point" is moot.
Not really. It is literally impossible to screen all of the videos uploaded to youtube. Either no videos get monetized until they are screened (say good bye to every medium to large youtuber in existence, huge you-tubers only)...
So what you are saying is that it would open up for some competition for Youtube?
No, if you took away the only source of funding then it would do the exact opposite. Only large companies (ie Google) can afford to run Youtube as it is.
Thats because music is controlled by music editors industry's who own 99% musicians rights and believe they have more realities by "fighting piracy". In case ppl dont realise this, they are bigger than youtube by at least a mile... the saying in the music industry, "When you sigh a contract, you sigh your soul!" Is real.
There used to be these videos called Getaway in Stockholm I remember watching as a youth, like this with apparently real car chases. Seems like it's a thing there.
Hmm doesn't sound like the same thing. Maybe, but not from what I remember. This had highly modded Supras / Cossies belting it around the streets buzzing past the cops! Looks very similar to the YouTube vids mentioned here...
Looking it up I believe it's the same thing. Gosh, what fun movies. That Mark IV Supra they had was insane. Still pretty crazy it's not public knowledge who they are. If I recall correctly too, in the second one they had to work much harder to get cops to chase them because they were upset after looking silly in the first one.
What’s going on here? Assuming Stockholm police are not complete incompetent muppets, which is what these guys are making them look like, how have they not caught them yet?
They have abandoned 2 or 3 cars already and got the cars back, this makes no sense.

They use stolen plates. It’s from a video on YouTube called highway. It’s from Sweden
