It's exactly like north America, they just get serious discounts off insurance to use cameras. More cameras, more video of idiots.

If Geico knocked $250 off your annual charges, wouldn't you go buy a dashcam?

I was so busy thinking about why their dashcam was upside down that I didn't see the loading bay the first time either hah

According to streetview, contrary to the description, breakdown lane travel is legal on this stretch of road from 6-10 AM and 3-7 PM ans according to the dashcam the time of this vid is 9:53 AM.

She's risking people's lives and needs to learn or lose her license.

I'm also pleasantly surprised (and surprised at my surprise) that he's not monetizing this video aggressively. For some reason I'm annoyed at this brave new internet where every viral dashcam video has a legal notice ("For licensing and media inquiries, contact..."), so I was happy to see him just tell the world that we can do whatever. This is not something I thought I'd be surprised by.

I'd hold off for a bit.

The Sheriff doesn't say that he's posted all the dashcam videos to YT, he said it was all included along with the police report that was given out the to the media. That would be the media that was in the room there with him. The media people in the room where NOBODY called out the Sheriff to say they'd watched all the dashcam video and found him to be lying. If the Sheriff is lying about the existence of the dashcam footage, 100% of the media present never bother to look at the footage to check for themselves.

I'm inclined to believe at least one of the media folks did at least that much of their job. If they did NOT, I'm not entirely inclined to leap in with both feet to believing their side fo the story just yet either.

Is it so hard to accept the possibility the police aren't monsters out there trying to murder civilians every chance they get?

@newtboy

Actually , you only know that this deputy on this dashcam stayed out of the pond. Link below has the rest of the story, namely that there is additional dashcam footage, all of it released to the media. Somebody decided to put out just this clip on social media to claim the police lied about trying to save the girls. I'll post a link to the other dashcams if I come across it, but the link below came up within 5 minutes of checking the accuracy of this account.

As I said, I don't know what happened, but yeah, this "murderous pigs chase teenagers into 4ft of water and drown them" thing seems a tad extreme. I'm not saying that it isn't possible they are culpable in some way, I just can't make any determination about it from this dashcam/audio alone.

And yeah, if they were my family I probably would think differently about it - but then if they were family I wouldn't be allowed to sit on the jury, so, yah.

Hey, we’ve found something more annoying than vertical video, not bothering to straighten your dashcam after nudging it.

Well that's one way to dump a load: Turkish tipper truck driver responds to road rage dispute by ditching lorry full of dirt onto busy highway

Lorry driver stopped truck and dumped load on busy highway in Turkey
Incident was apparently in fit of road rage after truck was being tailgated
Shocking dashcam footage shows cars following closely behind the truck
It then stops and dumps haul of dirt and grit onto road - blocking motorway

As can any citizen who knows the no snitch code. I for one don't agree with keeping quiet, so I am glad certain justices are being followed up upon. 25 years ago this wouldn't have been prosecuted for lack of evidence. But body cameras and dashboard cameras are doing their job, which makes me happy.

I remember a retarded sifter, I forget who, once said that dashcams are FOR the cops...I laughed and wondered what shit he/she was on...of course they are not for the cops, as they rarely exonerate them, but often condemn them. This change was done on purpose, so be glad for that and hope for more change.

Apparently they had an engine failure

They are not illegal. Its just illegal to publish videos about specific people (in this one the perpetrator) to the public without making faces and other means of identification unrecognizable. No matter if recorded with a dashcam, or a simple camcorder or whatever. Courts are seen as the public, because its not private use anymore.

Some courts have ruled footage of them cannot be used as evidence, but those courts are just regional ones and other may rule differently.
Another ruling from the same regional court that forbid to use dashcam footage in a case, allowed it in another because the guy claimed he only turned it on after he suspected an accident would happen (which it did).
So basically you can just cut that footage to just show the accident and say you turned it on right before that and it will be used. Its stupid laws, but you can find a way around them.

Dashcams are illegal in Germany?

Seriously? I think it should be required. If not for Insurance purposes. For What you just witnessed.

Uhhh... snuff?

I mean, if dashcam video of that plane that went down is snuff...
