Mounting a dash cam legally

Seriously, a suction cup attachment is illegal? I have never heard of such a thing.

I do know that anything mounted to a windshield may not obscure the area in which the wipers sweep. In the truck I drive, for example, I mount the camera in the extreme, upper right hand passenger corner of the split windshield.

 

Imagine that! I never would of considered that. And to think that the whole time I was in Oregon and Washington this past October, I had my camera suction cup mounted to the windshield of my rental car...

 

Alright then, stick it on the window

 

if they wont enforce it, i wont comply with it...

 

Yup! It's true, here in Nevada, you can't place anything that's in the same path as the windshield wipers, I didn't know this until about 5-6 months ago, when I got stopped for a DOT, when he told me this, I was kind of like? Ya sure! Until he showed me the law in the book

 

I use double sided tape because the pos suction cup would let loose whenever I was driving toward the sun and the windshield heated up . I guess I got accidentally legal .

 

Double sided tape works well. Cali started this but they have a hard time with prepass so they are really just using it on cars with radar detectors. I wouldn't worry about it.
