anyone been pulled over with cameras stuck on the car?
Not really a kill story, but it falls under the street racing category, so hopefully this is the right section...
I see all these videos w/ cameras mounted externally on the car. Has anyone ever been pulled over w/ these cameras mounted? If so, what did the cops say? Can they take the cameras as evidence and charge you based on the footage? Has anyone actually been charged with moving viloations based on externally mounted video of racing?

yes, the video is on here somewhere. a guy raced his new camaro and was pulled over, well he pulled himself over, and the cop grabbed the camera and wanted to know if it was on. he let him go

It's your personal property, they can't watch it against your will without a warrant. That doesn't stop them from asking though, and if they believe there is reasonable suspicion you have video of illegal activity on there then they will take it as evidence, awaiting a court order to view it. It's happened to a few sport bike riding friends of mine. Which is also why I only record to a SD card, which I take out and break before the cop gets to me. Broken SD card equals no evidence (only done it once, and the cop never asked to see the camera. Lost some good footage there... lol)

If the officer can articulate probable cause, then he/she can seize the camera. For most cases involving a vehicle, a warrant would not be needed (Motor Vehicle Exception Rule).
Btw, unlike some others in this thread, I really know this stuff well.
edit: Btw, if you get caught destroying the camera or storage medium for it, that could result in additional charge(s) against you.

In my expierences with police officers. Respect and honesty and calmness goes the furthest. I'm a little drunk right now too... On top of I wrecked a dirt bike for the first time in 8 years today. Pardon the grammar. Now that i t think about it, it woulda taken less time to just backspace and do it right... ****

my buddy got arrested at tx2k11 for "street racing" he had a gopro on his car, the cop just took it off and threw it inside my buddies cobra then cuffed him. they can take it, but its another piece of evidence for them to build a foundation for in court. my buddies lawyer said the cop didnt take it because he knew that it was just going to be more of a headache for the cop in court.
