NT hoon fined after mate posts video to FB

A man has been fined for hooning in the Northern Territory after his friend posted a video of his exploits to Facebook.

A man has been fined almost $1000 after his mate filmed him hooning in the Northern Territory and posted it to social media.

The 29-year-old also lost his car for 48 hours after police found the video, taken near Katherine earlier this week, on Facebook.

"Busted! They say `a picture tells 1000 words' - it can also cost you nearly $1000," they said.
