I've been thinking the same thing. Getting a warrant here wouldn't be easy though, it would probably be one of the first times (if not the first time) in Canada a warrant to obtain evidence of a non-alchohol related driving offence was issued.
I think... but I'm not sure, that you can not get a warrant for a provincial offence. So the RCMP would have to be going for something like "Dangerous Driving" under the criminal code (see link

I would think by now that they've tried to destroy the original footage. But since these dudes are loaded with cash, everything is probably digital and who knows how many identical digital copies exist.
I have full expectation that there will never be any charges that result from the video, but you never know. I'm glad I'm not in that video... though I'd certainly love even 15 minutes behind the wheel of one of those cars!
