Dashcam with GPS or no GPS

[Nimbus117]

In the UK, the Police cannot force you to incriminate yourself so cannot seize dashcam footage. Whether they do or not is a different matter.

I have a Mini 801 dashcam with GPS, all of my near accidents were at or below the speed limit by people doing the most stupid things or not giving way when they should. One day an idiot will get me and I will be glad of the camera evidence.

In the meantime, it makes a fab trackday camera.

GPS for the camera is a double edged sword. It can prove your innocence if you tend to stick to the speed limits or incriminate your speed as a contributing factor to an accident.

If your a very careful slow driver, get the gps. If you drive like your at the Auto-X or time trials then its probably better to skip the gps.


Some day every car will have a black box that the police will be able to subpoena its data as evidence for or against you in court.
