Anyone have one? Anyone thinking about it?

I see an increasing amount of oblivious drivers everyday. Starting to think it might be a good idea...

Would it be to protect you from liability in the event of an accident?

Yes, it's a double edged sword.

Sometimes, ambiguity is a good thing.

As long as you maintain control over the video, you do t need to worry about being hoisted by your own petard. If the video helps your case, it exists; if it doesn't- you were having technical difficulties that day.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Pretty sure I could eat a micro SD card if I had to...

Too many variables, for me at least. A dash cam would be a solution in search of a problem.

Well, I snagged a well-reviewed cheap one ($60) off flea-bay.

I'll see how it goes. There is a particular spot that I want to use it in, beyond that I may just use it for stupid shit... At $60 I'll get my moneys worth out of it one way or another...
