Oh, I know. I love the torque of an EV! That's about the only thing I like over ICE currently. At this point I'm just looking for longevity over efficiency though.

No doubt the V8s sure are tried and true not to mention about every other advantage under the sun as just even moving my smaller trailer and tractor kills my efficiency

We test drove a Tremor F150 and loved that rumble

Recording stuff requires a drive to store clips and modern automotive industry is looking to save money on everything. It always surprises me when an expensive car has a laggy system that's running worse than a budget tablet.

Plus in some parts of the world (like Austria or Switzerland) recording is forbidden and you can't install even your own windshield camera to protect yourself in case of an accident or vandalism.

That's not entirely correct, at least in Switzerland, where capturing footage of people's faces and license plate is prohibited because it is considered 'processing personal data' without consent. It's not illegal to own a dashcam in your car, but you can't share it online or use it against people

If the dashcam footage can be used in court is to be decided by each judge themselves.

Also, even if a footage can't be used in court, insurance company(-ies) will appreciate the videos in case of an accident. As will cops that can use it to link a suspect to a crime. (hit and run as an example)

The only cases where dashcam users got told to fuck off were the people running to the police trying to file charges against 40 people because they ran red lights, speeding or overtook in no overtaking zones and other traffic violations. Thats playing Sherrif and is not liked to be seen by the courts or the cops. It's obvious that these guys got a dashcam for surveillance reasons and not to protect themselfes in case of a accident or as a theft prevention.

Again, not all "evidences" can be used in a courtroom, but they can still be used for investigations by the police.

Also, if the Dashcam catches a different kind of crime (or a suspect fleeing from the scene of it), it allows the cops to put pressure on a suspect and gets him to confess. And cops love confessions in switzerland just as much as they love it in america.

too long, didnt read: loop function, don't play cop. record in 4k. keep a usb stick in your car to hand the foltage to the cops or people involved ina accident without having to hang around longer than necessary
