cruiser downtown. It was blue btw.He cuts me off and almost runs into a garbage truck in the process. Seriously screeching tires and all that.I drive a few more blocks and b/c of traffic, I end up ahead of him and have to merge back into the right lane to turn. He pulls up beside me and starts yelling about how I cut him off and 'do you know who i am!" bullshit.I told him to fuck off and lets see how big he is when I tell his commanding officer he was speeding and cutting people off/almost hitting a garbage truck. You see, I grew a pair at that instant b/c I pointed out my camera attached to its new mount in my car. You should have seen his face when I pulled away.Classic.Oh and the camera wasn't on.

why would you have a camera in your car?
1/27/2009 10:38:17 PM
it's actually the safest thing to do these days...no laws against it. and it throws the 'it's your word against mine....but I'm a cop, so my word is preferred in a court of law" thing out of the window]

Yeah. If the man films you doing stuff to charge you with shit, you can film the man trying to do shit to you to get out of those same charges.I mean, I see the reasoning in it. If you got in a car accident, or if you had a situation like this (psycho asshole driver cop), or some cop pulls you over and breaks protocol/laws about search and seizure you'd have some evidence to back yourself up.Plus, you can make neat youtube videos.

HAHA I wish my car was fast enough to race. Plus who would race downtown?I was testing out a mount I own to see if there were any weak points in structure. If I were using it for real (plus I don't know the safety aspect of crash worthiness and all that) the camera would have been running.It's just that in this instance, an asshole cop decided to go on a power trip and I cut him off at the knees. If I hadn't been bluffing with that camera, I would have been up a creek.I'm just not cool with people who use their position to intimidate others for no good reason, other than to just be a fucking jerk.SOMETIMES: if a cop sees a camera, they order you to turn it off. they have NO authority to do so, but they like to bluff like they can.[Edited on January 27, 2009 at 11:19 PM.

so wait why do you have a car mounted camera?i'm guessing theres a reason you're not being specific about that...gg tho]

I wanted to record myself driving is all. Seeing just how well I stayed between the lines, etc... I can say I'm a decent driver, but if I record myself, well I'll have proof .I have a camera mount b/c I got an urge back in the day to make one. That's it. I just recently found it in a closet and put it together to see if it would work in my current car or if it needed modifications. It attaches to the headrest posts. You can ether replace the headrest with the mount or use the clamps and attach them to the headrest posts.It's a cheap miniDV cam too, so if it breaks during a hard stop, I won't cry too much.I'm trying to see how much vibration is transmitted during normal driving, turns, braking, etc... and if I can reduce it to the point of not getting a headache when I play back footage.Fluid filled mounts might work.-------------------------------------Oh and I am VERY respectful of police officers, most of the time anyway.But the last two officers I've had to deal with were pricks for some reason and they were both RPD.1. lied about the speed i was going in a ticket. said i was going 70 in a 45. i was really going 65 in a 55 zone. spoke to my lawyer about it, my word against his.2. this asshole downtown.WTF.[Edited on January 27, 2009 at 11:25 PM.
