If you were somewhat within the law, it will clear your name... this can assist you from being wrongly convicted if God forbid you were involved in a hit, or vehicular homicide etc. For example on the other end a couple years ago a small child was hit and killed in a residential neighborhood, just feet from her house.... (sorry I do not have a link for the case). but the defense lawyers were claiming the driver was well within the speed limit 25 MPH, when the data recorder showed at the point of impact the driver was doing something like 90 miles per hour when he killed the child. I agree with having fun, racing all within reason... but there is no place for that when some childs life could be snuffed out.
I understand your point, but still think it's an invasion of privacy. There are lot of things that could be done to catch would be criminals, and it's hard to draw the line.
Would you also say that it's OK to install a camera in your car to tell the police what you were doing right before a crash? "Officer, I swear I wan't on my cell phone, eating Kentucky Fried Chicken or applying my makeup, I was paying attention to the road!". The oficer says, "Well, let's just download the feed from that little camera in your rear view mirror and see if you re telling the truth". Just think of what else that office might find was captured on that camera.
Each step we take, brings us cloer to fewer freedoms, IMO.
The world is becoming entirely too complicated.
