Just thought of a great feature

LR should add a feature wherein if the collision sensors sense your vehicle getting hit while parked in a lot or on a street, the cameras automatically activate and record a 10 second video to the onboard nav hard drive (in hopes of catching a license plate number)...

That's a damn good idea. Thumbs Up

The red tape in our country regarding video surveillance would probably scupper it though!

Hope not, ALL our trucks are fitted with Rolling Cameras mounted high in the screen and now linked to the O/S step looking backwards (where ALL the NUMPTYS get caught undertaking on roundabouts forgetting trailers will come in)...........We are ALL only insured to be on the road, bare minimum, so any collision is fought with layers with camera evidence.

So aint illegal here

I used to drive a Transit Luton for a while back in the '80s. A number of times I smashed the driver's door mirror to another Transit travelling in the opposite direction when both squeezing down roads between parked traffic in towns. Usually just the glass broke as the two sticking out mirrors clipped each other. Bit disconcerting though. As I recall neither driver ever stopped Embarassed

I wonder, does that still happen a lot - so many identical vans...

Perhaps I'm mistaken then.

I thought that there was lots of hoops that needed to be jumped through for video surveillance.

Although having said that, I know that some car insurance companies have a video package option with some policies.

How does this work for admissable evidence then?

Does camera & recording system need to be of an 'approved 'type to prevent editing/photoshopping etc. ?
