As history and Tony point out, once a society goes down that road its almost impossible to turn the clock back. Do we learn lessons from history?? Cheers Bob. |

In Wiltshire, they won’t even accept City Centre camera footage as evidence, so lord knows what they’ll do with a dash cam footage. Oh and I do know of one pillock who videoed a car driving erratically on his phone camera and took it to his local plod, only to be asked and did you take this whilst driving sir? Apparently the silence was deafening as the realisation sunk in, using a phone whilst driving...... |

With smart motorways announcing 'always on' speed cameras to catch people driving anything over 70 we're already living in a dystopian nightmare.

I don’t like those cameras as they stop me doing 85mph and make me do the speed limit - kind of what they were designed for. |

Playing Devil's advocate here.
Everyone with a recorder, whether dash cam, mobile 'phone or whatever, records their own journey, either for themselves (a bit sad, but entirely up to them!) or for that one time, just in case, WTF moment that may never even happen. House cctv is exactly the same. This is not to spy on others, to snoop or whatever. It is to protect property, family etc. The police will canvas an area for footage of an event so that they may put together a timeline of events. It is entirely up to the operator to submit or not any evidence. With regards to dash cam footage..... Most cameras only recycle data for a couple of hours, then it's gone. The operators only capture what goes on around them, they are fixed, immobile only the events change. The footage on youtube that we watch is an amalgam of hours of recordings. The operators themselves are frequently driving fast, rarely slow down and like to honk long and loudly rather than back off! They are often also very bad tempered! Finally you are also way too late to the party. https://www.nextbase.com/en-gb/natio...safety-portal/ If they can't patrol the streets then they have to rely on us. Just like the old days!! |

Oh and as a declaration of clarity. If anyone EVER sees my car being vandalised, bumped or stolen, my house being burgled or any of my family being attacked, and they have footage and don't come forward, I will personally hunt them down!
If I see your car, house or family being harmed in any way I WILL post the footage to the authorities. Use it for good. Not to critique or laugh and sneer! I'm done! Sorry! |
