<p>[QUOTE="BigHossVolvo, post: 11479713, member: 191044"]Outward facing camera's affect insurance, inward facing camera's are for control and punishment. Insurance companies I've talked to, say they want nothing to do with driver facing cameras (Except ICBC of course), they just want outward facing cameras, with tamper proof recording data. This is why police only have outward facing vehicle camera's and body camera's. If they had inward and upward facing camera's, that just a ton of ammunition to push blame/liability off onto them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, this is about control, deleting safety bonuses, reducing pay, driver harassment, etc etc etc. No amount of money or treats is worth dealing with being watched. If something does happen, the company is going to hold up the inward camera footage, and say you were operating "outside of company procedures/policy" and walk away. Enjoy taking a Nuclear Verdict in the ###.</p><p><br /></p><p>My company has made it clear, they are never going driver facing camera's or audio recording. We are going outward facing camera's, with offside video storage. I used to be against this, but people are now crashing into trucks on purpose due to scumbag lawyers, and the media pushing the "trucks are dangerous and you can be a millionaire if one hits you" narrative. So far these Out Facing Camera's have ended 2 lawsuits against my company, from cars that intentionally ran into our trucks; then put on a performance for the police and sued (I seen the footage, it was beyond obvious what happened lol).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
