There was nothing wrong with making the recording.

Publishing a recording that contains a private conversation, or just making it public, is illegal without consent.

Dashcams only store a few hours of video and it costs a lot in storage space to store more than a few days of video so it is unlikely that he has kept much that you need to worry about. Unless you regularly spend your time threatening to kill people then it's probably best just to forget about it, and cut off all contact!

A good summary of the law, relevant even though it is about recording phone conversations: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4801072.stm

A video of sort is mainly for personal use. If it is a family thing that requires in-door settlement, it could be used against you.
