AND btw- I doubt extremely highly, that you'll be ticketed or even arrested for having a dashcam equipped on a vehicle. I mean, look at talking on cellphones. They gave drivers upwards of over a years notice that it was gonna be illegal after '12- and they were very vocal about it; they had ads out, they had notices in truck stops out, ect-ect.

But, of course. There's gonna be one #### on this website that trys to contradict every piece of information in this post 'cause "he heard it from a friend who heard on the cb from a guy who heard from his grandmothers proctologist."

 

If I get a ticket for having a dashcam then so be it. It's a chance I'm willing to take.

If I get arrested for felony eavesdropping well then that would just make a great story

 

I bought a dash cam a year ago. I didn't see any type of disclaimers on any of the sites I looked at saying it would be illegal in any states.

 

So is your point that proctologists are not reliable?

 

I use a dash cam and it saved me twice from a headache by backing up my claims. I leave it on 24-7. If I get a ticket for it I'll consider it money well spent.

 

Good question although some get smarty because of good questions.

1. Surely no truck driver wants a ticket.
2. Surely ALL tuck drivers wants to be law abiding citizens.

I'll help everyone, just click on this search & find out about this subject: Are dash cams legal.

 

Same here. But if I get a ticket I'll just consider it another aspect of doing business in Amerika.

 

So long as you don't "profit" from using footage where an individual or corporation can be identified in the image, you should be fine ... but you may find more info here ...

i think the only places you might have problems. would be the shippers and receivers that don't allow cameras.

untill the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT says no. i think we're all safe. specially, considering all the videos that keep popping on the net.

the cops use cams as evidence. no reason we can't either.

innocent until proven guilty, and here comes the video. although, i could see evidence being denied, based on it being incriminating againt the person trying to deny. and a supreme court ruling NO MORE.

but, here's a money saving secret. the people of this forum turned me on to a app called drivers daily roads. it's being used on a old cell phone that is no longer used. and works REALLY good.

old cell phone, free app. = camcorder abilities without actually buying a camcorder.
my camcorder, is also used as my gps tablet, bluetooth gps transmitter for laptop, mp3 player, AND my most recent addition. OBD2 bluetooth automotive computer diagnostics.

don't throw your old cell phones away. the things they can still do.
