Dash Cam: Video and driving.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Dash Cameras what’s your opinion on having one?

Do you have one and has it worked out for you?

I personally like the idea although I’m curious how privacy laws are going to play in if more private citizens use them. Could it eventually become like Facebook and will insurance companies start offering the cheapest discounts only if you sign access away?

Also if you get in a accident and it’s your fault what if you destroy the evidence?

Lots of questions I think are going to be introduced as people go even more online.

Yeah I have one as I drive a lot for work. Insurance goes down, so no reason not to.

Could that backfire?

I mean some could have GPS and eventually coordinate with traffic Cameras and signal, how much of a saint driving is anyone?

[Lochton]

I don't have one, there's no insurance benefit of having one here either. I find the idea of having one to be good if you're in the areas of questionable drivers - like bigger cities.

If it improves your driving with that paranoia, then as far as I'm concerned that's just another plus.

Nope, I have one of the cheaper ones that just records. I store the information locally, and will only upload if I ever have an incident. I can turn it off whenever I want.

Yeah everyone watching everyone watching everyone. What kinds of things can be done to the footage? Edited when and where could this be a tool for harassment even stalking?

As I said I can see this backfiring and being a must. Oddly enough I remember here in Minnesota where they started ordinances they can ticket you for having fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view because of concerns it could obstruct the drivers view. Many cars might have this built in going forward but the strange thing to me is seeing older cars with this and gps all over.

What if you can’t or like home owners insurance they rate it and your rates go back up if it’s not up to par.

Not a problem now, so why worry about it?

For sight, looking before one leaps. Critically thinking!

Yes, I have one. Yes, it has helped me. Once when some dumbass drove out right in font of me, once in an attempted insurance scam. And yes, I am a saint when I'm driving in public. And yes, my insurance is cheaper because of it. So why wouldn't I have one?

Most dash cams aren't online. Nothing to do with privacy, you're filming in public space from your own private property.
If you destroy the evidence, it's no longer there. Sucks.

They are not legal (atleast here). Videos created with them cant be used anyway since its illegal to record in the first place. Waste of money. But they provide us with funny tv shows so I like them.

After seeing several accidents I've decided to buy one last year. Nothing interesting happened since then, but its always on when I'm driving.

What kind of nonsense is that? It is legal to record. It can be used as evidence and is used often.

Depends on your countries laws. Illegal acquired evidence cant be used.

I have 2: front https://www.amazon.co.uk/VIOFO-A119-.../dp/B01IM2EPQW

Yes, it helped me and few random people that my cameras were able to record their accidents.

Unless you live in a country that has mandatory dash cams you can use the footage at your discretion.

[Grapemask]

I can't imagine why you'd be against it unless you don't want to be caught being a fucktard.

I'd probably get one if I had lots of money to throw around for silly things. It's an optional interesting thing that I don't really see any incredible need to have, personally.

After two hit and runs, and a woman who backed into my car (then lied and said I hit her), I do want to get a dashcam to save myself more problems.

Thank God I had witnesses.

[PACOX]

I have one. Its basically a tablet optimized for hands free driving. I barely use it but it works.

This has also made me more interested in getting one, saw an article in the newspaper a while back about increasing amounts of scams involving other cars and even pedestrians hitting the front of your car.

They aren't illegal, but it is very specific what you're allowed to film, so their usefulness is nearly zero.
