Is defendant-provided dash cam evidence truly accepted in court? Seems like it would be too easy to fake for the court to accept.

I’m sure they can consider it.
The detectives that came to my house to retrieve that footage said it’ll help them in court (re: police chase).
It’s all about how you introduce it. At the end of the day he would use it to argue against the reckless driving charge, not speeding.
“Your honor, I do have a windshield mounted camera for my safety in case of accidents or any other incidents. I actually have saved footage regarding this traffic stop and the events that preceded it. If I may be allowed to show it, you will see that while I was indeed going above the speed limit, I was not driving recklessly.”

Also, my dashcam caught an accident and the Florida Highway Patrol used it as evidence.

dash cam is double-edge sword though - can be used against you present it during discovery or it's subpoena'd

Usually you can just have it contain the videos related to the incident and that’s all. Ethically they shouldn’t be allowed to view videos that aren’t related to the incident in question. Additionally, they can’t present new charges based on that evidence either.
Theoretically, they can only use evidence provided (by both parties) to rule a judgment for the charges at hand. They can’t add more charges because video shows something else.

My friend has a radar detector that is GPS based and can detect activity 2 miles down the road. We have tried it and it actually works.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:48 amthat too, mine is mounted semi -permanently. Its easily paid for itself.

I don't trust my radar detector anymore. I feel like laser is getting too common, though I have no evidence to back that up.
My radar detector has more than paid for itself through the years, though. But lately, I just don't speed.
65 in 55, doe...I would do that. That's some unless you crossed the line or something.

Laser/Radar combo is getting more common nowadays. Many supercars owners at shows have $1,000 radar detectors and laser jammers in the front and rear hardwired to the car

Agree on the new charges, but if you're denying a charge (pleading not guilty), and the prosecutor is aware of certain evidence that might support their case, then it can be subpoena'd. It's not the LEO asking for the video (definitely wouldn't show it to them regardless of the situation) , it's the court/prosecutor that might come after it. If you're going to present it as evidence to support your side of the story, the prosecutors have a right to review the material as well before it makes it to court.razr390 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:51 am

You'd share with the LEO or the court? One of those you have a choice (unless they have a warrant), and the other you don't.razr390 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 11:00 amIf it proves my innocence in a charge I’d have no problem with them reviewing the clips4zilch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:59 am

My point is, what if it doesn't prove your innocence? Are you still going to show it to them?

FWIW - I wouldn't argue or support anything a LEO is asking me or ticketing me at the time of the interaction. If there's a discussion to be had about what you did or didn't do, it should be done in court.

If I was driving over 100mph, weaving in and out of lanes and cutting people off, I wouldn’t show it.
If I was polite, cordial, decent to the cop and even though I was speeding didn’t drive recklessly, I’d show it to the court.
Officer will see the video regardless because they will show up to the hearing/court date.
at the end of the day in my opinion, they can view it as 1 of 2 ways, but it’s ALL ABOUT HOW YOU APPROACH IT.
“Your honor, I have this camera to ensure that I protect myself and others in any event or incident.” It shows that you care about yourself and others and are holding yourself accountable.

If I get pulled over I tell the officer two things:
1. I have a gun in the car and I am a concealed carry permit holder.
2. I have a windshield dashcam that is recording video/audio.
Then I’ll follow all commands and do as I’m requested by law to do. If there is something I disagree with I can go to court and defend myself there. I’m not going to get into a debate with a cop on the side of the road where his nerves are at an all time high and I’m mad that I’m getting ticketed.
At the end of the day cops don’t pull you over for no reason.

I got pulled over for speeding once and I was super nice and decent to the officer, informed him at all times where my hands are going and what I’m retrieving, and then I thanked him for what he does and he didn’t even run my license.
Another time I tried to tell a Trooper that I didn’t do what she said I did while cars were passing us by at 70-100mph and i got the ticket.

Sometimes you're better off admitting to nothing even when you're in the wrong when there's a lack of physical evidence.

It definitely depends on the incident but I’m pro-LEO so I wouldn’t put myself in a situation where I can make myself more guilty than I am in any certain situation.4zilch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 11:12 amNot saying they're a bad thing, just saying they aren't 100% full proof in protecting you either.razr390 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 11:05 am

Not all people are like that doe. :roadpirate: and whatnot.
Nothing is 100% foolproof, though. But the way you carry yourself and address the officer (as well as any other human being you interact with) will go a long way

Obviously every situation is different, sometimes gonna because they can. Sometimes gonna back off because didnt have the evidence and you didn’t incriminate yourself.
