What about public places? Who expects any reasonable amount of privacy in public?

This video is great, skip to 7 min. Florida cop dash video cam. Tropper pulls over a city cop.

Video taping in FL is indeed an issue, unless there is law enforcement involvement such as when in my business, we are doing surveilance for criminal activity.
However, taping someone on your property for home video protection is fine.

I thought of getting one of these cams a while ago but not until it is allowed and can be relied on as evidence. I think it is a must nowadays if your state allows it.
You can also take it abroad, such as in Europe, where I believe the only country that doesn't allow it is Austria.

IMO he should catch a felony fleeing charge just like anyone else.
