Looks like another nail in the coffin of freedom and liberty.

I see a guy pedalling like the clappers on a folding bicycle with a helmet camera and a policewitness.com hi-vis vest on my commute nearly every day.

The word police is of course far larger than all the other writing and he causes a tailback because no cars want to risk overtaking a police cyclist, of course.

I expect he sends lots of footage in, too, because he can often be seen antagonising car drivers by riding in front of them, weaving about in his lane, and gesturing and shouting abuse to everyone who passes him and nearly losing his balance. I think he must be a bit of a knob, to be honest.

Looking at the youtube channel it's people using mobile phones, jumping lights etc.

I've no problem with people sharing video's of accidents, asking for money's a bit... but why not if it saves them thousands on a claim.

However policing other road users is disgraceful

I think it's cool

It's only for catching out proper cocks and people trying to get out of insurance claims where they're in the wrong, I'm all for it

Great. Shame I didn't have one for the wanker who went ploughing on through a pelican crossing when it was on red a few days back.

Fucking rep wanker.

I use a dashcam, but purely for my own personal benefit. As in, hit and run type affairs or proving if I wasn't as fault.

This happened to me last week, the driver stopped, but with the amount of uninsured/unlicensed drivers about, he could have just took off leaving me to foot any bills had damage occurred.

I'm not a cop and I'm not a grass, I would never turn in any footage I had unless it was to actually help someone out.

[wr6133]

I think they are an exercise in rebranding cheap Chinese cams and then selling them at hugely inflated prices.

This appears to be the same as their £200 Camera just this one is £85

I can see a couple of problems with that website. Firstly it's doesn't make it clear that it not an official police service, I wonder how log it'll be before the real police consider impersonation offences?

Secondly the idea of making money out of accidents? They're practically encouraging people to go out and create incidents to report, sort of erm.. cash for crash?

To be honest I would be very weary of this as you could easily screw yourself over whilst sending in a video for screwing someone else over.

[Al]

Aren't they basically telling you to withhold evidence and sign it over to them so they can bribe the insurance company with it. I wonder how much their cut is.

[covent.gardens]

If there was an accident involving myself, I'd be giving the dashcam footage to my insurer for free. That's to speed up my claim and reduce the hassle to me. None of this PoliceWitness.com "Tell us and we'll wait until you're losing then sell them the footage" bullshit.

If I captured an accident involving a third party and the victim was a decent enough person, they'd be getting the footage for free too.

If I captured an accident involving a third party and the victim was a dick, or there was no victim as they were both dicks, only then would I think about offering the video for monies to any insurer that was interested, but I wouldn't ask much - just something to cover my time.

It is your video, after all. You've bought the equipment and invested the time to set it all up and have it running. It's your footage, and I do support the idea of selling it under some very limited circumstances.
