Can ANYONE make me replay the footage to them? Or worse, give them a copy? Let’s say a cop wants to see it at the site of an accident and I know it won’t help me? Would an insurance company subpoena it? It would be gone by then.

Before I jump I figured I’d ask.

Thank you!

If there were a lawsuit over an accident or other incident where your dash cam recorded something relevant, then yes, you could likely be forced to turn it over to the parties to the suit.

I don’t think people get dash cams planning to themselves be bad drivers. If you’re planning to break the law, it’s generally a bad idea to record yourself doing it.

And destroying the video could be a crime or sanctioned.
