Motorists falsely arrested on DUI charges describe the life-ruining results

Dashcams are great. But bear in mind that getting personal dashcam video admitted in court can be an uphill battle for your lawyer, and even if it’s admitted, the judge may or may not decide to ignore it as not credible. However, as long as you have a decent insurance company, it may help you when filling a claim.

Until and unless the legal system is meaningfully overhauled, additional tech-bro libertarian “solutions” like this will serve only to punish the poor for being poor, destroying the lives of the underprivlaged while those wealthy enough to exercise their nominal rights can afford to break the law. The problem is not a lack of technology; the problem is a punitive system that grinds down the poor and people of color and a school-to-prison pipline for the children of the poor and racially redlined families.
