Laborer at our work (old dude like 5ft tall lol) was grabbed round the throat and nearly hauled out of his car at the lights waiting for them to change. He couldnt do anything, and luckily pressed the window up button and nearly caught the dudes arm in the window. Now If he'd had the nice little standard honda wheel bar right next to him, its withing arms reach and you can jam the lowlife scum in the face with it.
if i was the guy i would just drive thru the intersection. and i guarantee that i will grab his arm and take the bastard along for a ride on the outside with me.Quote:

The hope he had was catching his arm with the window and he said he had every intention to drag him as far as he could if he got the bastards arm caught but the dude managed to get it out before it got caught
holy shit.... thats scary you just never know what lunatic you are going to get when you go out for a drive.
used the car cam, for first time in a while.
recorded 9:30min of footage, came to 1.6gb.
or there abouts.
but I've loaded it with a bigger card, went to Havery Normans and grabbed a 16gb SD card.
list price was $130, but i knew the go so i got it for cost, which was $15.
dont want to insult oz_striker but the price seemed a bit extreme.

my one is pretty lame quality its alright but not for making movies, it captures my pimples however.
But its kind of too bulky to have on the windscreen because the EG windscreen is quite sloped in so it doesn't fit near the bottom and i hate having stuff stuck to the windscreen in the center. so i stick it to my rear quarter window and face it forward.
but if u dont mind that, it has some nice features.
motion detection record
looping plus deleting old files
Has infrared lights n that, and they turn on automatically.
overall not bad.
also some shades are lumped together as one, so a tree with multiple greens on it shows up as like 3 different shades and that seems to be the most green it can provide.
but it helps keep the pixel count high and the size lower i guess.
My friends and I have thought about getting dash cameras ourselves but just too lazy to pull the trigger. I myself don't want a big thing on my windscreen lol. (Been watching too many fails on YouTube from dashcams).
About weapons in the car - I went on a road trip towards the end of last year with some friends to Rye and I thought about cutting up some mesh and sticking it in front of my car so the "army" of these giant bugs don't get stuck in my grille and radiator etc. Anyways, after cutting up the mesh, I threw my scissors at the bottom of my front passenger footwell and I just bought a breaker bar earlier that day too before heading off (left the breaker bar under my seat because I was in a rush).
Blah blah blah, I got to Rye, we were heading to the beach, as we turned into the parking lot, there was a crew of police officers getting in their cars with a camera crew. My car was fairly lowered so I was like fml. They came over, said my car was too low, did a search of my car, found the pair of scissors and breaker bar, brought it out and accused me of having them there as weapons.
Officer: Why do you have these in the front of your car?
Me: I used the scissors to cut up the mesh for the ride here. I just bought that breaker bar.. I still got the tag on it, haven't even used it.
Officer: Mate, I used to work in your area (Sunshine), I know what you guys are like (I'm Asian)!
Me in my head: wtf?......... racist c*nt?
Me: What? I have no intentions of using them as weapons, they were there because of this road trip.
Officer: Alright now, you can stop lying. I'm not a fu(cking idiot. I can fine you right now on the spot for 1,000 for carry weapons
And it went on and I just ended up just saying ok, whatever... He didn't fine me but says if I do it in the future, I will get fined by others.. I was "lucky" he said.
Still copped a defect zzz lol
im thinking of doing a mass order of those blackvue dashcams that sit behind the rear view mirror. hardly intrusive. anyone know if any ozhonda forum'ers are interested?
Sensei I would be somewhat interested, but a bit later.
The issue is it may become a target for theft
what price are you getting them at?
also thats racial profiling. i would of gone off my rocker!!
unless your surrounded by a bunch of american pilots in 2001 i dont think anyones gonna be scared of your scissors...
I ended up going with a 1080p Kodak PlayTouch for $40 from Catchoftheday
http://drh1.img.digitalriver.com/DRH...le_645x370.jpg
Will report back with results..
looks pretty good!
How big is it? Looks smart phone sized?
Quite small,has a tripod screw base also

I figure it cant be any worse than the generic ebay ones for that price lol
dont forget to update us bawris
Record what exactly? Whilst they are searching your car?Quote:

Not sure which state your in? Police in NSW must adhere to the Law Enforcement Powers and Responsibiltiies Act 2002 (LEPRA) when exercising a power.Quote:
2. Is the police allowed to search the car without the owners consent?
They can search your vehicle with your consent, OR without your consent / warrant if they suspect on "reasonable" grounds that for e.g. your vehicle was used in the commission of an offence. A scenario may be your car matching the description of an armed robbery 15 minutes ago.
For a complete list. See Section 36 LEPRA 2002
If the police officer informs you the vehicle is going to be searched based on a reasonable suspicion as mentioned above... You must comply. If you don't comply expect reasonable force to be applied for the purpose of exercising their power.Quote:
3. Are we allowed to remain within the vehicle if it is our choice, even after instructed to exit the vehicle?
Hope that helps.
you would think that the answer has already been posted after like 8 pages of this thread, but ppl still post aha.
Yeah funny enough you would think that hey... but having skimmed through all 8 pages, all I see is discussion re: personal stories, rough female coppers and then car camera's.Quote:

Ha!
Next time a cop pulls you over, tell them "You can't ask me to get out of the car, coz someone said you have no right to".
It can be hidden pretty well behind the rear view. If you wanted to go one better, I was thinking of making something like a sock with the holes in the right places to go over the car camera. should disguise it abit and make it all cute. like some people with those angry birds or snoopy plush toys on the dash.Quote:

I'm quite keen, will think about it moreQuote:

Nah picture this. Some fat guy is running for his life and guns it past you. Your eyes are fixed on him as he runs past.Quote:

You spin around and see a copper coming from the same direction. As she gets pretty much next too you as she's sprinting past, she slips on a magic, invisible, banana skin.
THUD!!!!!!!!!!!
Face first.
I ROAR in a fit of laughter.
Instantaneously gets back up and keeps running as if it just did not happen.
For NSW:
You can record them.
I would recommend that if you do, you inform them immediately after they inform you of any recording they may be doing.
These devices are not subject to the conditions set out in Section 7.1a of the Surveillance Act, so long they satisfy stipulations in Section 7.2 or 7.3.
I point out in particular Section 7.2d (if you are refusing a search) or Section 7.3a (if you inform them that you are recording) or 7.3b (if the device is there for the reasonable protection of your lawful interest).
I will be defending my possession with Section 7.3b as mine is a crash camera; though will use 7.3a when interviewed for any offence I may be pulled over and questioned about.
My concern is accidents and road rage -- not the police.
Read this on recording policy: http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/__data/..._2011_Comp.pdf
And this for the actual legislation:
http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/se...%20No%2064.pdf
Okay.
So, Next question?
more reason to buy a dash cam?
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/viralvacu...-filmed.glance
how about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXuEcfLl698
^ for some reason..if you have a dash camera, it's like you're asking for an accident/trouble, it's like you're attracting negative-energy..anyone? it's all over youtube, especially in Russia..lol too many fails.
I wouldn't say asking for trouble, but at least you are protected ceteris paribus
That's like saying putting safety rails on a balcony causes falls off balconies.
LOL
Most studies on the subject suggest that any benefit gained through the changing of driver behavior when a camera is installed dissipates after about two weeks.
if the drivers cannot change their behaviour then we cannot help them regardless. i have a mate who is a pure blooded hoon, and you know what, whatever you tell him goes in one ear and out the other. we cannot insure against ignorant people, we can only protect our own arses.
its funny, nothing ever happens when my cam is on.
the other night it rained in perth and there were coppers all over the place jumping speeders and that if my dash cam hadnt fallen off the window and died i could of caught a few coppers in action, or even gotten a video of this retarded old woman that thought she could drive through an intersection when she was 1 meter away from being skewed by my car. we could of had Tbone skyline :(
Someone played too much Saints Row...Quote:

Mounted on rearview mirror and hardly noticeable from outside vehicle,so quite stealthy :thumbsup:
The quality isnt amazing but for the low price Im happy with it
If you were to spend + $100 or more you'd want GoProHD or something with a more significant lense :)
Quality looks pretty good at 1080p, you can clearly see other peoples number plates. Does it record speed and GPS location?
GoPro has great quality but it doesnt turn on via ignition or record over the oldest files.
I reckon that's great quality for either fun recording or safety (crashes etc)
thats great quality compared to my shitty one.
speaking of which i was on the freeway when a copper drove past and as he was driving the lights where blown off his car and he was chasing some dude so didnt notice/stop, he dragged them down the road whilst they were getting dragged and busted up along the freeway. caught it on cam but its almost unidentifiable.
Do you mean the lights were being dragged along the ground?
Does the camera come with software to edit the video files?
yes the lights were attached to the car via the cable, and were being dragged accross the ground at 130km/h. it was pretty funny
I got done speeding because they herd me! WTF!! i took the fine because I didnt want to argue it.Quote:

Check this I was turning right from Smithfield RD to go onto ELIZABETH DRIVE Bonnyrigg (SYDNEY) just about to turn into a side street to head home I get pulled over cop asks for my license etc gave him the license COP Ask's do you know what the speed limit is here mate i said ye I do 70 cop says no its not, I turn to him and say mate there is a sign few back thats says 70 cop mumbles under his breath, keeps looking at my license looks at me 2-3 times. I say look i have put on some beef since that photo cop says no need to be rude BRO cop gives license back and walks away what a gronk.
Police are stupid, They will chase after any p plater but when there is a drug deal going down the road from ur house they do **** all!
Just another thing I would like to add is that the Police are actually aloud to be on their mobiles because they might be on a case seriously wtf pull over lol
Sorry,
At what point did you get a ticket?
If you think he's in the wrong, take it to court. It's not difficult; he's the one that's going to need to come up with the basis for giving you a ticket for speeding.
Also, cops can't just arrest people on the say of you that a drug deal went down; to arrest them they need to witness it; unless you and another witness are willing to testify to it happening and will identify them -- and I very much doubt you'd step up to do that.
I see people talking on their phones all the time; at least the cops are unlikely going to be having a gossip session with their bestie while they sway in and out of their lane.
There are bigger issues than cops on phones -- like people who shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
Took a quick snapshot tonight to see the night time quality,its reasonable

its christmas time brrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
not bad, is light blur just dirty windyscreen?
the first page of this thread literally blew me away. all these car enthusiasts getting out of tickets because they didn't admit to them and the cop didn't show them a radar reading. yet i know a 50 year old man who was not speeding, got done 30ks over the limit, asked to see the radar gun, got told to **** off, took it to court and lost. not saying anyone here was talking shit, it just amazed me.
Just read whole thread... some good laughs. thanks boys.
Pardon? He was not speeding, but was done for 30km over the limit? Was denied being shown the radar, was told to **** off, and lost the court case?Quote:

^ hahahahahahaa
Yeah i'm sure theres something missing here, because they cant refuse to show you a speed reading, they usually offer to show you your speed on the camera or ask if you want to see it.Quote:

turned out the 50 year old man was an ex hwy patrol.
