Since when do so many people have cameras on their car dashboard?

Crazy russian fucks....I live close to the forman German-German border and I still remember visiting a hill with a Russian military base after the wall came down
They were selling everything they got there for some Deutschmarks
uniforms, emblems, flags, orders...
also they were running their trucks down that steep ass hill at full speed drunk as fuck...

strange that

Dash cams are less than 100 bucks now. We have one now in case of buttwipes who can't drive ever hits us again. 2 accidents and 3 near misses over the past 7 yrs that weren't our fault and we did it.

Too many idiots on the road not paying attention anymore to not consider this.

Cars will probably start having Not Only dash cams as a standard equipment, but rear seat cams, frontal and rear passenger cams.

You can stream live when going out and post reviews live after seeing a movie or eating out for dinner.

WOW...!!!!!

You see people, there is an group of "Invisible" people that WANT everyone to become SO dependent on Media, the Web and the INTERNET that the "Invisible" people will be able to "Control" people with the power to Grant or Deny INTERNET access.

Through Facebook and all other Internet Media these "Invisible" people will have All Access and Information on Everyone.
They will KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU and YOUR FAMILY and FRIENDS.

THINK about it folks. YOU put ALL your information and conversation in tweets and photos.
That Information NEVER GOES AWAY.

It IS COLLECTED and STORED. And KEPT Until it is NEEDED!

In Mother Russia, there are a few reasons. One, the cops are very corrupt so drivers use them as evidence. Two, many pedestrians will purposely walk out infront of you to get hit, hoping for a lawsuit so drivers use the cameras to win their case. Some videos you'll see peoe get hit, then the driver points to their dash cam and the pedestrian gets up and walks away. Three, in case of car accidents, drivers use the real time footage for insurance purposes to prove it wasn't their fault. I'm about to put a GoPro in my car soon.

The Russian Police would just tear out your dash cam and smash it, there NO Evidence.

Since OP was talking about Chelyabinsk, I think that explains the "phenomenon"...

That was a cop that pulled in as they were leaving was it not?
I'm going with insurance and it is easy to see why.

Because in such a dishonest world it's wise to have a witness that can't lie?

Good for making the cops obey the law.

I explained this to my friend when we were talking about the many videos of the meteorite in Russia. He was surprised that so many drivers have dash cameras and why.

I told him for evidence purposes in accidents. I didn't know pedestrians lay down to get run over though.

I'm getting one for my truck. Is it stored on a SD or flash memory card?

Very simply put OP....You save a fortune on your insurance every year....

Fucked up drivers and dirty cops. I've seen more than a few of both. I've got a pretty good library so far.....

Makes for interesting youtube videos:

And possibly any other country's police or people or whomever...
