A Vancouver Island man behind a YouTube video showing a motorcyclist weaving dangerously in and out of traffic, has been found not guilty of dangerous driving.

The judge says the outcome of the case would have been different if police did a better job in their investigation. He said the police didn’t follow up on certain leads and seized the motorbike without a warrant.

He also said the prosecution could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 26-year-old Randy Scott was the driver of the motorcycle, which was going up to 300km/h an hour.

The video went viral after it was posted on YouTube in April 2012 and a police investigation immediately began.

Scott could have been facing up to five years in prison.
