Are there any decent dual-camera (remote wired camera for rear view) models on the market? Anyone not following the chat thread, I was rear-ended on Thursday and the other party's insurance is attempting to weasel out of accepting liability. The other party was clearly at fault, accident was witnessed by a county sheriff's deputy and she was cited for ACD on the scene, however her insurer is claiming they can't move forward on the claim until she calls them back as they "don't have her side of the story" yet - which I'm not totally buying, because when I contacted them to start a claim they told me one had already been started by the at-fault driver. So either they're deliberately stalling or the at-fault driver told them I was somehow responsible. Video footage of the crash would sure be nice to have now - is there anything available or should I just install a pair of cameras?

Sitting there for upwards of a minute is a good way to get killed though. I was expecting someone to jump out of the Suburban shooting, or at the very least for the camera car to get deliberately rear-ended at the red light.

The driver of the car was being an idiot by trying to cut in ahead of oncoming traffic, but this is a good demonstration of why lane splitting on the outside of a lane while going through an intersection - especially next to a full-size pickup that obscures both you from the turning vehicle and the turning vehicle from you - is a bad idea.

I thought the audio concern was from some states having laws that make video recording in public legal but not necessarily audio recording...?

Ripoff posted:Yeah, as far as that goes the cop who ordered the spike strip laid out and every other cop who was there and capable of stopping it from being laid out should get sued. Reality: officers have their qualified immunity upheld in court, and damages are paid out by a taxpayer-funded insurance policy that does not impact the department at all - assuming they even accept that much responsibility. Like any other stupid decision made by the police that results in property damage and/or injury to bystanders they'll blame it on the suspect.

Previa_fun posted:don't normalize fascism in your head I mean, not saying I disagree here but sometimes you have to operate within the constraints of the reality in which you exist. What would you suggest he do, against the backdrop of the police being practically untouchable in a court of law and accountable/answerable only to themselves?

Run a fused positive line up the b-pillar and bury a DC-DC USB power adapter above the headliner, grounding to chassis.

JuffoWup posted:A goon in world of tanks made me aware of these issues back in the day. Earlier vw beetle models from the 2000s had a funny story with their headlights. Cost like 1k to change because you needed to yank the motor out to have room to access the units. My wife had a 99 or 00 when she was in college and you could pull the entire assembly out without tools. Throw a locking lever on the back of the headlight assembly and the entire unit slid out the front of the car. Possibly the easiest bulb replacement I've experienced in a modern vehicle and possibly one of the only positives in maintaining that car.
