Man fined for bad driving while taping fatal, bare motorcycle stunt
A man who videotaped his friend's lethal nearly-naked motorcycle stunt has been convicted of two misdemeanors and is being fined.
A Maryland judge says if Ben Meacham hadn't been taping it, his bare-bottomed buddy might never have had the September accident.


Shaun Matlock was wearing only tennis shoes, a T-shirt and a helmet when he lost control during a "wheelie" and slammed into a parked tow truck.

Another friend in similar attire was riding alongside, but was not injured. He was fined a-thousand dollars in November after pleading guilty to indecent exposure and negligent driving.
