The police would like me to 'preserve' footage but I've only got one card.

Until I get a replacement, can you confirm that if I move it to 'manual recording' it will not be overridden.

Otherwise, is there a way of marking it so that it does not get deleted?
 
You can copy the file / files from the memory card to a computer, or copy to your phone if it is a wifi camera.
Good theory but Police in the UK like it on the original card it was stored on to help prove it hasn't been tampered with. I would still do a copy to your PC as a precaution and as you say move it into the manual recording folder. Unless you press the manual record button loads of times it should stay there!

P.S. DON'T FORMAT THE CARD EITHER!!
 
Daum thats strict,,,,, in that case i cant but recommend all UK dashcam users to have a spare card in the car, and swap cards when they have had a encounter of the more serious kind.
Danish police don't even mention anything in this regard, but i am also pretty sure they just receive your footage and then throw it out, the percentage of success in even the most mundane crimes here are single digit, so safe to say criminals are running the country here.
