What would your opinion be on a civi dash cam, good or bad idea? Could capture an accident that was no fault of your own, someone's road rage, or could also be thrown against you for doin donuts in a parking lot. Lol. Just curious what your guys' opinion was from a LE standpoint. Tia.

I have one in my truck.  $65 on eBay with the rear view mirror mount and power adapter.  I don't really care what anyone's opinion is.  It's in there for my protection and a little extra insurance.

Uhmmmmm..... Don't do do its in parking lots and you don't have to worry about it.....

I've thought about getting one with all the accidents we work but haven't done it yet.

Go ahead and get one.
Missouri is a one party state and if having the camera makes you feel better, do it.

Only way its gonna hurt you is if your doing something you shouldnt be...

Seriously, I dont see any downside except for the cost.

Knock yourself out.  Remember though, what do you want it for?  If its for accidents, I'll take whatever video you want to share at time of report.



Road rage?  Depends.  Are you going to follow them so as to keep recording?  If so, don't tell the officer the guy was driving at high rates of speed and weaving in and out of traffic and then produce the video that shows you were doing the same  thing (to keep them in the frame)




As far as does it piss LEO's off?  Not really.  Personally I could care less.
