    You are correct on the highlighted. My bad. I had completely forgotten about what the officer was specifically wanting her to do. I agree with you on being glad she stood her ground and did not comply with the illegal order.

    It is important to note to all the readers, you can be right and stand your ground. When you do, just like the nurse, you may still end up being arrested. Get your day in court and win in the courtroom.

    I turn on my phone’s voice recorder when I am speaking to the DOT. I should start video recording.

    I just bought a body cam to start wearing into shipping offices just to cover my ###.

    You should be careful because some shippers/receivers do not allow video cameras inside their properties.

    In nearly 10 years out here I have never thought, I need a camera on these people.
    Perhaps because I have never had a problem with any one of them.

    If you are having so many problems, it may not be the shipper/receiver - it just might be you.
    In which case it might not be a good idea to have a camera recording all that you do and say.

    Cameras, like guns, seem to make the user more 'brave' in their actions.
    That can 'backfire' on the user very quickly.

    I think it depends on the attitude with which one wields it.

    With a firearm it’s a defensive tool and should always be the last answer to any problem.

    Five year old thread. But still actually relevant today.

    Anyone use a body cam?

    I would like to wear one to show how some of these Shipper/Receivers speak to us. I get it, there are a lot of arrogant sloppy drivers out here but sometimes just walking up and saying "Hello, checking in" will set 'em off.

    Which Go Pro do most of you use, and find the least expensive? Any links on what you use?
