Body Cam's for Drivers

You raise a good point. That's why I thanked your post. BUT, at the risk of sounding like I'm 'urinating in your Corn Flakes', of all the millions of commercial vehicles in North America ( semi's, doubles, triples, straights, big, small, etc etc .... ) how could one become 'most wanted' on a DOT hit list ??

Do the DOT have a forum like we do ? If so, is there a sub-forum on that site to "Post Your Worst Driver Here" thread ? .... Just like we have 'Post Your Worst Truck Companies Here'....

See what I mean ? Of all the millions of commercial vehicles, and millions more CDL holders, how exactly does one get singled out for EVERY State and Province ? If anything, you'd think they'd be a bit more careful around the guys with A/V recorders, warned or not, when laws permit.

Because I'm a Goofball .... you have me thinking .... just to cover my butt ..... if I ever get a body cam .... I'm going to print a sign to hang around my neck that says, in English, Spanish, and French : " Smile ! You're on CANDID DRIVER !"

And yes, I will ABSOLUTELY stop back and gladly let everyone know how it works out, good or bad, if I do it !

Final point. Maybe it helps your argument .... although I feel you were being a bit of a smart-### in your post .... I run VERY regional. I only ever usually cross two scales now. That's how I know the troops. The young trooper in question was new and just away from the trainer. I cross one on the way out, and the other across the road on the way back. Pretty much all at the same time every night. I don't expect any more problems in the near future. But I, personally, like the idea of dash cams and body cams in todays lawsuit crazy world. Somehow, I don't expect to be on anyone's hit list.

 

I'm too old to be literal !! LOL !

Peace Back !
