Isn't that article enough proof so they could be convicted for speeding? After all they publicly admit of having broken the law.

One suspects they don't live in a state on the route. In the US, speed limit laws are administered by states, under state jurisdictions.

Very few laws have an unlimited time you can be charged under the statute of limitation. Also most traffic tickets aren't even misdemeanors and it appears many places require those to be witnessed by a police officer of some sort so you'd have to prove both that they were speeding at a particular time and who was driving because you can't just charge the vehicle [0]. So in a strict sense the state has no hard evidence that they actually violated the speed limit other than their own word and no way to prove who was actually driving.

Can't imagine it would be. If you were a member of say, the Utah State Police, and you saw this article, what would you do? Ok, a photo claims these guys drove cross-country averaging 103mph with a top speed of 193mph. Can you prove they didn't slow down to the speed limit while they were in Utah and only drove incredibly fast in the other states? Also, which one of these guys was actually driving while they were in Utah? I believe the police would have to cite a specific individual for driving at an illegal speed at a specific location within their jurisdiction. Sort of like how everybody new Al Capone was a mob boss, but it was a struggle to actually charge him with a specific crime.

I publicly admit to launching a massive pile of trash into space. The dump was closed and better to have one big pile in space than two small ones. I cannot tell a lie Officer Obie, I put that letter under that garbage.

The radar-jammers and tail-light kill-switches are very obviously illegal, even if you cannot prove they were used. Don't commit massive crimes then brag about it on the internet.

  LIDAR jamming is not illegal, which is likely what they have. Light switches are also not illegal but could be used in an illegal way.
