and last but not least another one i have but am not too fond of. THe GoPRO!

review has it right about the tricky lcd menu screen but doesnt mention that every other SD card has compatibility issues and how easy it is to break the supplied mounts..ordered a double suction cup unit with the drift camera above as the gopro single suction jobbie keeps flying off the car..

question, have we found if it is illegal to put a camera in your car to record things like the cops pulling us over without letting them know?, plus, i'm thinking about just getting one so i can put it in the car for things like track days and drag strips

as long as your in the pblic domain and not stalking anyone theres nothing to stop you from filming whoever the hell you want.

just dont test it out at the local kiddies pool or a bikie gang meet..could have interesting consequences for your health..

as for cops, meh its up to them if they get mad but they are being recorded by their own systems so cant imagine why they would be bothered by you doubling up..

At present, there are no laws governing recording of data in a public place (a roadway, by definition, is a public place).

The consensus seems to be that whatever you do in public, you should be willing to have recorded.

There are laws that prevent image/audio recording where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (e.g. your own home).

The police inform you because things you say/do might be used in evidence, and there is the requirement that you are informed (basically because they have an unfair advantage).

The reason that call centres inform is due to the Telecommunications Act 1997 - you are using a carrier service, and it's unlawful to record something carried by such a service without

either a warrant, or informing the parties that they are being recorded.

Outcome: As of now (2011); by law, you don't need to inform a police officer (or anyone else) that they're being recorded by your camera/phone/incar surveillance

if you get pulled over and are recording them from your car. The police officers have no reasonable expectation of privacy when they are interacting with you.

Just be aware that defamation laws still apply even if it's not illegal. Poorly thought out displays of video can still have severe consequences.

I would love to have an onboard camera too however, and with motion detecting for when the car is parked. Some years back my new car (2nd hand but first day I had owned it) got keyed in the car park as I was doing the change of ownership thing. I came outside and nearly died. Even though the car was insured earlier that day I just couldn't bring myself to go back to the insurance and say it had been keyed that afternoon. Video proof would have given me the confidence to go back and see the insurance company.

As of 2006 truth became a complete defence:

So it would be very hard for someone to win a defamation case based on the content of an unedited video.

you can record and you don't need permission because you are in a public place. just like how the police can record you without permission.

however, is it a good idea? well depends on the situation. IMO, I would only bother if I was 100% sure, the police were doing something illegal.

Otherwise you will just create more problems for yourself.

I can just imagine the words " follow me to the nearest EPA van"

As stated, all HWP cars in NSW have video anyway. The thing to remember is your video camera in your car also records evidence of any offences you commit and in some situations may be siezed as evidence against you.

Here's some options to consider. HD is important as it allows for number plate recognition etc. GPS is also important to establish Date, Time, Location, speed etc

here's the original thread FFS

kinda want a new gopro but i had so many issues with the my first gen model im a bit scared of them.

TV stations can afford to buy hundreds of them and just toss the ones that start having compatability issues with SD cards or ceasing to function after they fly off your car due to the crappy mounting equipment supplied with them

bought a drift innovation camera a while back

been good times since.

wish i could afford the contour thingy with the GPS but im sure prices will drop eventually

No stuff them they wanna be pricks cos we drive imports record them and report them so there attitude will be investigated some of them have no right treating and speaking To us like shit for no reason they have a problem some of them and u can report them online by the way

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
