Also, vehicle black boxes aren’t like airplane black boxes that also record cockpit conversations.
It’s really just additional memory in the car’s computer to record and store whatever the programmers tell it to. You won’t be able to disable it without disabling the car.
Right now it just records diagnostic data for mechanics to jack into with their scan tool.

I have heard of cases where say a Tractor Trailer with the ‘black box’ being ‘observed’ going over the speed limit a few miles/hours etc up the road and getting in a accident ‘NOT his fault’ and the defense claiming that proof of him speeding puts HIM at fault because if he hadn’t been speeding, he wouldn’t have been there at the precise time.
Probably ‘somewhat’ hokum BUT it surely wouldn’t surprise me.
