>>4468 Dash cams are a strange modern phenomenon. I feel the same way about motorcyclists and cyclists having a load of cameras all over them too (and I am a member of all these constituencies).
Maybe I am being naive. When you ride any kind of bike, everyone is trying to kill you, every day. Not sure what the point of having video evidence of it is, other than to have a coo/frightenig YouTube channel.
The same reason that police have body cams it keeps everyone behaving well and provides evidence when they don't. If the world wasn't packed with camera technology Police would be murdering people unabated.
I don't think the state should ever have an automatic right to cameras footage. But recording purely for your own safety seems reasonable to me.
I've been intending to get a dash cam, particularly as I had a lorry drive into me and claim it was my fault a few years back, but I haven't got round to it it.
Uploading footage online for the sake of it is a bit weird though.

My dash cam's card deliberately only has an hour of storage space, such that I can never become of these twats who uploads shit to UK ROAD RAGE DASHCAM ACCIDENTS FUNNY 2021 COMPILATION #64 UK.
That said, SHITTING PEUGEOT is a quote I use very frequently.
Some people try shit on because they think they can get away with it. When it turns out that they didn't, they are less likely to reflect on their incursion as they are apt to find the fucking cunt wot snitched on 'em and make their life hell.
