Darthrevan Supercharged May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 More motorists are installing cameras in their vehicles to act as their 'witnesses' in case of disputes or accidents. Retailers said sales are being driven by the ready availability of such cameras and by more product awareness after videos were posted online. The devices, which cost about $300 each and yield up to 20 hours of evidence, are used by motorists to record anything and everything - from reckless behaviour by other motorists to vandalism in carparks. Such evidence has helped motorists prove their innocence in squabbles and speed up the settlement of insurance claims. Mr Gary Chia, product manager of Wow! Gadgets, said: 'More people are aware of such cameras because others are putting such videos up on Facebook and Stomp. Others see these videos and think they may also need it, and follow suit.'

XLR8 1st Gear May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 It's a double edged sword. It can prove your innocence and at the same time be used as evidence against you in any case if caught in a situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon5 5th Gear May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 this is def the step in the right direction but seriously TP need more J eyes, something belonging to their control. reliance on individuals cams helps but cannot be the main surveillance source.

Not true. If the video is against you, just delete and claim malfunction. Having a video cam is an unmixed blessing, it can be pulled out only if it supports you.
