A motorcyclist with a lead foot and little regard for law enforcement posted a video of him (or her)self speeding through Atlanta, giving a police officer the middle figure and weaving through traffic. Could cops be closing in on the daring motorist?

The AJC posted this video earlier this week - after it had already been viewed 26 million times online. In the video the motorist films him (or her)self taunting a police officer, lifting a middle finger to the pursuing police car and then weaving through traffic.
