I think that's better than a rear-facing radar/camera/light that looks only like a light.
People nowadays won't do the right thing unless they think they will get caught. No personal integrity at all.
I get the same respect from autos when I have my night riding headlight on my helmet during the day because motorists mistakenly believe it's a camera. I actually do have a camera, but only mount it on the helmet for special events. Usually it's on the bike.
Edit: It's kinda funny when people wave at me because they believe they're being recorded.
