I understand now. I retract my earlier post.

I admit, it is possible the chief was speeding prior to the footage we see in the video and then had to slow down once he reached that sedan. It's an open secret that cops do not give each other tickets. That is hypocritical.

The case against the biker (Graber) was thrown out by the judge, who ruled that the situation “took place on a public highway in full view of the public. Under such circumstances, I cannot, by any stretch, conclude that the troopers had any reasonable expectation of privacy in their conversation...

If possible, I think it is good idea to take photos of the vehicles right after the accident, before they are moved. There's a TV show in the U.S. called the People's Court where real people settle their small claims court cases on TV (with a real judge presiding). I watch this show often to...

That's a good point. There probably are a lot of legal issues that companies need to consider. However, in the U.S. I think the restrictions on recording typically only involves recording audio due to wiretapping laws. Various states have one party or two party consent laws. But generally...

It does seem like we're on the edge of dash cams going mainstream. However, I think the biggest hurdle to standalone units is how to power the unit. Using a cigarette lighter power adapter and wire looks ugly to most people. And a dash cam really needs to be mounted higher up, so a dangling...

http://garmin.blogs.com/pr/2014/01/garmin-launches-high-definition-dash-cam-with-automatic-incident-detection.html#.Usr5X1tDvw0 Funny, it's just called the Garmin Dash Cam™. I didn't know you could trademark "Dash Cam".

People go with what seems likely because that's how life works. You evaluate a set of parameters, try to connect them and then form a conclusion based on what is more likely than not. Unless facts are known with absolute certainty then there is always some level of uncertainty. Still, at some...

The 3000 lbs cage isn't impenetrable. There is glass all around that is easily broken. After breaking the windows, they can easily open the doors and pull out the occupants as evidenced by the final confrontation. At the end, the bikers actually intended to beat the wife as well. According to...

I believe this is the applicable section in the California Vehicle Code: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc26708.htm So in conclusion it appears you can only mount the dashcam in a certain place on the windshield itself and you do have to post a visible notice that passenger's...

I've found the Garmin ball joint to be a pretty good, simple design. If jokiin can emulate this design, I think that would great. The Garmin ball has just enough friction to hold the device firmly in a car environment, yet you can still easily reposition it without having to loosen and then...

I did a CSI style analysis of the video frame by frame and will post the entire report later, but I can confirm that the biker applied his brakes for approximately 10 frames (1/3 of a second at 29.970 fps). This is confirmed by looking at the video and something else that no one has mentioned...

Many Americans think dashcams are "creepy." I guess it's something new and different so they just automatically think it's creepy. Yet, Americans don't seem to have a problem with action cams and posting videos on Facebook, Twitter, etc. so their lives are probably already being filmed. And like...

I thought maybe the LS430W was in development. From posts on this site, it seems like many new dashcams will be introduced in the next few months and the quality standard should be all going up. The trend is definitely towards WDR and better night video quality. My top two candidates so far is...

The LS300W is one dashcam I've been considering, but I wanted GPS as well. The LS430W looks like the one I should wait for. Do you happen to know when it will come out? Based on the LS430, there are some interesting differences between it and the LS300W. The LS430 is slightly smaller...

Re: Smallest Ambarella Car DVR This is an interesting camera. I like the small size and I especially like what appears to be a powered mount. The mount and the camera seem to have electrical contacts. So the USB power cable just goes to the mount and you can remove or install the camera without...
