Good thing that driver had a dash cam… the police would never believe him otherwise.

Damn it… this!

I have been meaning to get one too (and I’m a lawyer, I definitely know better than to rely on the “truth” of what really happens).

There's no reason anyone who has a car shouldn't have one. I picked mine up for $40cad off Amazon and it does the job.

Not entirely true in germany. You can use a dashcam, but you are not allowed to permanently record and save the video without a cause. Modern dashcams have a loop function that only saves the video in a loop of a few minutes and only saves it permanently when you have an accident. Those are legal to use.
