ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 A growing number cyclists, over here, are starting to install Go Pros on either their helmets or handlebars (motorcyclists too) A story that made the local news was a woman, commuting to work on her bike, was knocked off by a car driving too close. She has no recollection of the incident but when they took the footage from her Go Pro it was so clear they were able to get the number plate, of the car, and get them for a number of charges. In an era where everyone is filming everyone else it could be the difference. I'd certainly consider them for insurance purposes alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,617 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's a bad world when everything we do is gona be on CCTV. Who would let complete strangers film them? I for one don't. As much as I hate the shitslamic countries, were ment to be a free nation but where is the freedom on being filmed nigh on 25 hrs a day? The tent peoples of the Middle East have more freedom than us. It's like a big brother nation were living in 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Bit late to worry about privacy. Everyone films everyone, and they're being filmed by someone else. GCHQ reads your texts messages and sends your Mrs naked pictures around the office. No one voted for this, surely... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
