Actually had a car pull up on my bumper late at night and wouldn't pass , his lights blinding me so I grabbed my mirror and readjusted it and slowed down to under speed limit still wouldn't pass so I slowed down to 50 the car pulls into the passing lane and still wouldn't pass . I hit the binders to get the idiot in front of me and he hit the binders too. finally I hit the binders hard like I was going to stop and he went around . It was a Sheriff vehicle. GD Idiot driving it shouldn't be out harassing people.

Between Minot and Grandville late at night . I'm not anti LEO by any means but this is the second time I've been harassed by LEO and I don't like it one bit. Forgot to mention after he finally passed me he slowed down to 50 so I'd pass him but I was a couple miles from my turnoff so I just followed him. Light me up and pull me over but don't harass me for a few miles and mimic road rage. I was so mad that I felt like flashing him down and chewing his ass but figured It could backfire. If I would have had a cam I just might have. A thought went through my mind from a news clip in Utah where gang initiation for a teen was to ride passenger and shoot a random stranger in the head when the driver pulled along side. The other time was close to Devils Lake. Both times I was glad that it happened to me and not my wife.

Could use your phone as a recording device, lots of videos on YouTube where patrons share with the masses.

No thank you , distraction was the point of my post.

I was talking about if you happened to be confronting the leo, then a cellphone would suffice. It's not like it's going to be used extensively unless you are prone to problems or looking to start your own youtube channel.

 

[Davey Crockett]

I'm an old timer, It would take me a while to do it sitting on the chesterfield mind you driving down the road.

He has a boss. I would call and have a discusssion....and if he is the boss i would still call and have a discussion. Ask him for his reasoning behind it.
To add if making the call from a cell pbone and have sone real concerns, there are apps out there that will rexord your phone call.

I believe we need some form of law enforecment reform..and I am no BLM idiot or liberal. It seems to me that law enforcement has gone from protect and serve to harras and intimidate. I know not all law is like this but they sure protect the ones that are like that instead of running them out. It seems to me if they cant regulate thier own the people need to start electing law officials with people that will get back to protect and serve. Right now it seems that law can do anything without repurcusions. This was the case with my incident with the law. Wish it wasnt that way but really feel it has gone all wonky from what its supposed to be....

personal use

I use to make some extra cash on the weekends driving uber. I found a dash cam that was forward and cab facing camera with audio for around $50. For what I was using it for I figured it was a good investment to save my ass in case somebody decided to say I did something.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Some good advice here. dont volunteer dashcam footage if you have an accident...

I bet they get all sort of complaints and most of them are someone crying wolf . It's water under the bridge but after years of "thinking" I should have dash cameras realize cameras might be a good investment

A picture is worth a thousand words. Always has been.
