What's your feelings on personal dash cams ? Do you use them? Is the risk worth the reward.
I've thought about getting one and I've been debating the pros and cons. The pros; Conclusive evidence if I am in an accident, hit and run, or my vehicle is vandalize. On the other hand, that conclusive evidence can be used against me, even if I just turned over the recording as evidence in a case I'm not involved in. One example I read about, a driver volunteered dash cam footage of an accident that they were not part of. The dash cam held 10+ hours of footage. When the driver came to the station to pick up their dash cam, the officers handed over the dash cam and a stack of 14 tickets. :3oops:
I have the same concerns about auto insurance vehicle tracking programs and OEM vehicle tracking systems (Onstar, SYNC).
