FHP caught Brevard County’s Deputy of the Year Michael Fultz riding his motorcycle 111 mph but did not arrest him under Florida’s ‘Super Speeder’ law, News 6 has learned.
A radar detector is very different from a dash cam, including in law depending on your area.
I think you’re just doing mental gymnastics to make a reason for not getting one. Just be honest with yourself and say “I don’t feel like it.”
It reminds me of the people who point out that seat-belts trap people in cars so they won’t wear a seat-belt. They don’t think rationally about the very remote odds of that, they just latch on to it as an excuse to do what they were already going to do.
Agree to disagree. I have all kinds of tech from GoPros with mounts for the car to phone holder that can make my phone serve as a dashcam in 5 seconds flat. I also have several exterior facing cameras around our home, and the software ready to switch on and archive all the footage, and multiple 2TB drives laying around doing nothing at the moment. If I wanted to record looping video at the house I easily could - and do what with it? Fight in court. Do you enjoy fighting in court? I don’t. I’d rather not do things that encourage fighting in court, and so I don’t record the video. It’s a deliberate choice - maybe “I don’t feel like it” - but not because I can’t push a button on Amazon and get one delivered.
I agree to disagree - most times I have ended up in court I could have made choices to stay out, on balance I feel that even when I have won in court by preparing and going I still lost overall and so, most times those were bad decisions to go, fight and win.
Sounds like you’ve had unusual experiences with the courts. I can’t force you to base your opinion off of more typical experiences, in large part because you haven’t lived other people’s lives (or looked into their court cases).
Back to my metaphor, if a seat-belt trapped me in my car, I wouldn’t decide that must be normal and I should never wear a seat-belt again.

I’m not saying I like going to court. I’m saying losing in court is worse than winning in court.
Staying out of court is the real win.
You seem to think that’s more likely without a dash cam. I don’t.
