I agree with all you've said Harry,BUT the local police and authorities organised this demo and gave the guy the all clear.If the guy was paid to run the car,and not out of the goodness of his heart,i might have a slightly differant view.
At the end of the day it simply should not have been allowed to run,but throwing multible murder charges at the guy and no fault at the organisers feet is beyond belief.
But as the saying goes..Only in America

I hope you signed the petition if only cause he's an Aussie,and if he was to be locked up for years or worse get the needle....the US becomes yet another place to be avoided due to thier crazy outrages laws!
