No, simply because I am not paranoid.
So if someone reverses into you while waiting to enter a roundabout and he claims you drove into him, would it not be helpfull to show the police what actually happened ?

The evidence they provide is invaluable .......
If someone hits you, you can prove it.
If you see a hit and run you can prove it.
If there is a crash on a road and several have filmed it, there's no need to close the road for days.
If someone jumps on your bonnet and claims, you can prove it.
If you were doing the speed limit, you can prove it.
You insert a memory card into a slot in the camera and that card holds all the footage. There's no big brother involved at all.
As the cam records their speed would that not encourage them to drive slower?
I can see people sending the police footage from their dash cam in the belief that a law has been broken.
If something's sent in with an accusation, I suspect the police will be obliged to review it.
Probably in excess of 90% will not result in any action.
That's going to take time..
Unless they are involved in a crash, nobody else will see the speed.
They already have a Speedo, they know the limit,there are speed cameras....
This isn't going to make a difference in that front.

Nearly all images are open to multiple interpretations...
Whose to say your interpretation will be the one accepted...
Particularly when 'clever' lawyers get involved...
In the event of speed playing a part then calibration of any devices would also be open to be questioned...
If the camera shows you stationary and shows their reversing lights then I'm not sure how many interpretations there can be.
Logic doesn't always win the day....
I think you've proven that. :lol:

Clearly you've never been to court and seen what expensive/clever lawyers can achieve...

Frankly I have to say I'm surprised at the response to this question and I don't agree with the arguements above.
Him
Constable, I didn't do it honest.

Constable here's HD video evidence from my GPS dashcam that he did
When someone claims you did something wrong and you point to your discrete dashcam, they dont hang around for the police, they leg it so it will never see a court room
NOoooo!!..To many nutjobs on the road, and this kind of technology is dangerous in the wrong hands..What next, shop a neighbour percy sugden style policing.

Having already had one fitted in my van, it was invaluable when a Range Rover reversed back into my 3 week on van. The evidence I was stationary made him pay up without question.
If they become standard fit, it's only a very short matter of time that you own "defence" will be used against you.
Not totally like that.Interesting comments. Seems that you are happy to have one prove you were NOT at fault with the Range Rover but you don't want one to prove that you COULD be at fault the next time?
