This may sound like a stupid question but is there any legal issues about using these dash cams?IMO I think they are a great idea,but I could see a garda confusing them with a radar scanner.

And if they did, and pulled you over, you show them its a camera and be on your way.

Filming in a public place is not illegal so there are no issues with them legally.

They are still a fairly new concept outside law enforcement so I don't know what insurance companies or courts views on them are yet.

Thats not bad actually, problem for me is my Toll tag is already there for that very reason also. :P

I'll see what I can do with it there I guess, although I'm somewhat trying to keep it off the windscreen entirely, just for the ease of removing/powering it, plus there's a really handy section just to the right of my Oil Pressure/Turbo/Oil Temp gauge pod, that would be nicely used by a stand/clamp if I could find one that meant the camera was the right way up.

With the camera most people are buying off eBay, does anyone have any decent methods of mounting it on your dash instead of having it hanging off the window?

I'm trying to do that but the mount that comes with it means the camera can only be upside down if mounted to the dash, the arm doesn't have the movement required for it to be any other way.

Any solutions anyone?

I have it mounted right up beside the rear view mirror so it doesn't obstruct any view and is less visible from outside the car.

It stands out with the camera flash but you wouldn't notice it standing normally outside the car.

The saddest thing about that statement is that its true.

Court will mean nothing to the beemer driver, as more than likely she IS a sitting judge.

I wonder if videos like this are virals made by companies selling the cams. What's the point of the scam? Do they claim for whiplash ?

That movie is just pure advertisement of the product. In Russia they call it "video registrar". But as a device it is helpful and non expensive.
