 The suicide lane *should* be half dashed on either side once its "open" and that can lead to some weird confusion if you try to interpret it with normal lane marking rules.

Here's an example from FL:

Has anyone bought their cam from elsewhere and had Best Buy install it? I'm not mechanically inclined and really don't want to install a dashcam myself, but I don't know where else to take my car.

I'm in Las Vegas and there's some not very user friendly websites that say to order a certain $$$ cam off Amazon and then they install it, but I just want to see demos of different cams, pick a decent one and have it installed. I found a model that looked good, emailed the link to a local place about installing it and they gave me that "Well..I guess so, but it's not as good as this $400 one we recommend".

I figured giving money to someone for a service would be easier than this. /rant.

Edit: A bit late, but if you really don't want to do the work yourself:

Find the shop that's in the working class neighborhood without a website, walk in, and talk to the people there.

For example, these guys in Durham did a bunch of work with my old stack of parts moved into my Civic for $reasonable
