Pretty slick.
Probably wait until Owl Cam 5.0 comes out in March.
My question would be, what are the legal ramifications of having dash cam in vehicle?
For example, Florida has a Felony Speed law:
Speeding up to 29 miles per hour over the posted limit comes with fines amounting to a few hundred dollars and a few points on your license. Most tickets come with three or four points, which remain on your record for three years and are cumulative.
At 30 or more miles per hour over the posted limit, the act of speeding becomes criminal. Going 30 to 49 mph over the posted limit is a misdemeanor, and anything 50 or more mph over the limit can result in a felony conviction.
So lets say your out with TRX group for a drive and everyone hits on highway, few seconds your at 115MPH. Usually what happens if you do this too much and dont get off highway regularly, the regular drivers start call *FHP (Florida Highway Patrol). If its bad enough, the FHP will be sitting ahead about 5 miles ahead of call locations or closest FHP or Sheriff, waits on the road with multiple police cars. and pulls the cars over, even if they dont get them on radar.
Lets say they dont catch you speeding but pull you over and question you about the *FHP speeding/racing calls by other drivers (which they are asked for vehicle type, color and plate) and there sits the dash cam, all the evidence they need. Can the police, take the camera as evidence and charge you later?
Rear Story:
I use to be in the viper club and 8-10 vipers would get together on a weekend day or night and go drive around, hit the car show circuit. We would raise hell but nothing reckless, that what tracks are for.
One day there were 2 new members that showed up and all hell broke loose, they were running +100MPH consistently zinging dangerously in and out of traffic, passing in pull over lane, craziest shit you have seen. A few of us just stayed back. They left me in the dust, way behind.
After about 10 minutes, I came up main Highway, large road crossing and 4 FHP cars were waiting and pulled over the 4 vipers in the front of the group who were causing the issue. I had stayed back, because it got way out of control. Its almost 100 degrees out in Florida, high noon sun, they got all 4 drivers out of the cars, handcuffed behind the back and made them stand outside in the heat while the officers searched the cars. One of new drivers, had gotten smart with the officers, they called some, division and they took the interior of his car apart, while they stood there for 2 hours. They did not put it back together.
Could the police use your own dash against you or is that covered by privacy?
