Most of these things start as a gadget that is nice to have then progress
through to becoming standard equipment,the next stage is they become
mandatory . With dash cams how long before the recordings are required
to be retained for a period by law with the Police or other government
bodies having the powers to acquire any of them as evidence even if
that is against the wishes of the vehicle owner.

Mindless paranoia. Hasnt happened with fixed
surveillance cameras you have around your house.

On the face of it such things are seen by some as
nothing to worry about if you are an honest citizen,

you may be but it wont stop your car getting torched if a local scroat
thinks your parked car contains a record of him doing a drug deal.
