    Not quite, but it does have a strong magnet inside the camera. It is intended as a body camera, what you do is put a magnet inside your shirt then the camera sticks to your shirt where the magnet is then you walk around recording stuff. I just found a way to clip it to my hat.

    If you guys have seen johnny be good on youtube, he also drives around his big truck with a forehead camera. He's been doing it for years with no problems.

    That last post was a stretch but he just needs a YouTube channel and those who feel they can benefit from it. They show just as much as bad habits than good ones.

    So in other words, an officer could assume distracted driving just from the basis of the camera's presence?

    10 second snippets is too short. Plus you have to reach up to the electronic device each time which is illegal in CMV, to 'reach' for the electronic device. With mine, I turn it on before we start rolling so there's no reaching for it. It records onto a 4gb card so can save hours of content. Then it is a matter of transfering the content to the computer and editing the clips out to be uploaded.

    I mentioned youtuber johnny be good who wears a forehead cam while driving and I found another youtuber who wears one while driving as well. Check out Brittney Nicole Richardson channel.
    I cannot see how wearing a camera on your head is any more dangerous than mounting a cam to the windshield.

    Personally I think it is the wave of the future. Imagine the possibilities in sports, a 100 mile per hour fastball coming at the batter, a top golfer demonstrating a perfect swing, or boxers with head cams for first person point of view for huge bomb punches coming in.

    That is a very interesting viewpoint of yours to me. If you go back and watch the video objectively with the sound off you will see a rude driver passing another driver who is going the speed limit on a two lane road. Interesting to me that you would think I am the unprofessional one, I am the one who should hang up his CDL, I am the one looking for a crash cash payoff with another CMV. NO concern about this other aggressive illegal passer? No opinion that perhaps *he* should be the one to give up his CDL and attend an intense anger mangagement course to get his life and priorities back on track? If he passed me illegally and I am a big long truck, you're not worried he would pass a little 4wheeler up the road on another blind hill curve and headon crash into someone else later on down the road?This guy was racing down the two lane road passing everyone every chance he had whether or not there was a solid no pass line or not regardless if the people he was passing were already doing the maximum speed limit. But yeah, let's jump on scottie for originally going the speed limit which forced this guy to break the speed limit and lane control laws in the first place. Do you admire his 'cando, get 'er done' motivation and moxie, his outlaw spirit, his willingness to kill and die to get that load there 12 minutes sooner?

    If we look at the video objectively and subtract the illegal passer, we see scottie driving the speed limit safely along a two lane country road. Nothing really to see, just a safe legal professional driver doing his job with maximum safety.

    It was suggested by another poster on this thread that the illegal passer would have been in his rights to swerve into me and push me into the ditch to save the oncoming traffic from a head on collision.Never mind that if he would not have made the inopportune illegal pass against the solid yellow line, there would be no danger to the oncoming traffic in the first place and no need to push the safe legal trucker into the ditch to prevent the headon collision.

    Wow I gotta say there's a reason you guys are just truck drivers and not safety coordinators, thankgod.
