I use a Street Guardian SG9665GCV3. Had it on my previous car, kept it and moved it over to the Corvette. Fantastic Dash Cam, if on the expensive side. But if you want to be sure that you actually record the plates no matter the time of day, it gets the job done.

Yeah, because insurance will definitely take your word over the other party or the "witnesses" who definitely saw the light red for you and have sworn testimony filed with the police report against you. They definitely won't look out for their own self-interest and take the path of least resistance, no siree Bob.
You do realize that dash cams boomed in popularity in Russia due to insurance scams right? The whole point is to be able to have an accurate record of events in case you get into an accident and the other party/parties lie to their insurance and/or the police and the situation becomes your word against theirs.

For real, that's my position. I'm far more concerned with other people being stupid than myself being stupid. If I'm stupid, then I'll handle the consequences of my own actions. If other people are stupid, I want them to pay through the nose and not get away with lying to the police about what happened. Or if they hit-and-run, I want them to get the full extent of the law rammed up there you-know-where.

The police can and have assigned cause to the incorrect party prior to the admission of dash cam evidence.

2. Why are you so obsessed with shirking from responsibility for your own actions? This seems socially irresponsible at best.

How does fault work in IL? Like if you were to be found at fault, what does that do to you? You have to pay the insurance claim? Deductible? Your insurance does?
In NC, if someone filed against you, you got hit with an increase regardless. Especially 8f it was for just a couple grand, they didn't mess with fighting fault or care if you had video, witness, whatever. They just paid it and moved on. Had a guy sides wipe me, file a claim on me, and they just paid it. Claimed damage from preexisting stuff, insurance didn't care they said it wasn't worth the hassle of denying it and kindly increased my rates...

You want me, you work for it. I don't intend to make it easy. Ask your lawyer. Also I don't want to give you any ammunition to try and make it worse than it is or harder for my lawyer. But if you believe people are good and only take their fair share, I envy the world you live in.

I think we need to be clear that the dashcam is a potential two edged sword and it isn't all as good as the manufacturer says. That is, unless the law allows you to declare the 5th for the data on your camera.

If the OP is reading replies...
I've settled on Viofo A119 for all of my vehicles even though I still have a Rexing in my 96. I also get the hardwire kits.
For my 08 Corvette I found that I needed a polarized filter.
Running a 128GB microSD card. If someone asks for it and I don't want to give it, well the darn little thing got lost. Sorry.

I understand that part. Emails are on private servers but can be subpoenaed as can airbag deployment data.

I for one am glad you and I are 2000 miles away, that's for sure.
