That "told you so" seldom works anyway. One person would think that stopping road center, in the intersection turning paths, where you already know it's a dangerous intersection, and then having an inattentive driver almost run over you would prove that you stopped in a dangerous place while another will think it proves how effective his camera was because he caught the driver being inattentive. Priorities and perspective.

I sometimes kind of want one for when something interesting happens on a ride, and I've even messed around with BT pairing one phone as video for the other (to double the use as a rear view display). But it's always too much hassle for the utility, so the advocacy has failed to convince. If someone actually hit me, and I was riding 100% legally at the time, I might wish that I had it recorded. But without a good body of precedent where the video was the difference in court or with insurance liability, it's hard to project any probabilities into that.
