I remember a scifi novel of an anarchist future society where everyone carried a light sabre (pre Star Wars). Everyone was extremely polite and crime was virtually non-existent. Sort of the same idea. If everyone *knew* they were on someone's dashcam, people would be more polite in their driving. I am posting on my youtube channel cuts of stupid drivers' maneuvers during my commute. A few are there but I have several I have yet to post. I need some better video editing s/w. Secondly, you know those "How's my driving" signs with a 800 number. Those people are very appreciative of video evidence of reckless (not wreck less) operators of their property. And some companies get an anonymous email with a youtube url from a good Samaritan. My dashcam has actually fallen in price since I bought it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2383T4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01 comes with a mount; but, you will need a microSD. You can set it to two minute loops with a save button with a 4 Gbyte SD. Or you can record over two hours with a 32 Gb. You can also reduce the vid quality from full HD and get more storage. Hey, imagine catching a meteor and having an exclusive on it!
