I do see videos sometimes of someone pointing to their camera and saying "You're on video", making the other person retreat. I guess I could make a dummy camera or find some old non-working for the same effect if I got into enough confrontations to warrant that (which I don't).
It's more common than you might think, but certainly a tiny fraction of actual riding that gets recorded. There are a fair number of videos on the Cycliq site that state that charges were later filed based on the video evidence.
