The work you've done here absolutely rocks IMO. While we all might not like to set up video equipment in our cars, the little pocket recorders that will record 15+ hours of MP3 files are dirt cheap. Everyone should have one and use them when appropriate. Perhaps we could get rid of more bad cops.
Do you have any vids of cops stopping you that have acted professionally?

“Do you have any vids of cops stopping you that have acted professionally? “
Nope. I had one from an officer that acted the way he was supposed to, but he was wrong about stopping me. He said I turned out of the wrong lane and didn’t know the road was a dual left turn lane. It was late and he was just looking to stop someone so he gave me a warning, but he was still wrong and the video showed it.
I accidentally deleted this video while trying to ‘protect’ it that night.
Before I had the video camera though, I had lots of dealings with good officers. Even when I got tickets, I deserved them and the officers were professionals.
One time I parked in a parking lot of a closed business at about midnight. This furniture store has a large parking lot and they turn all the lights off at night so it’s real dark. I went there to adjust my headlights. A Shrewsbury police officer pulled in and I walked over to talk to him. I told him what I was doing and he said that was no problem at all and was a great spot to do it because in metro St. Louis, there are lights everywhere else. It felt nice not to be treated like a criminal right away.
