I think I'm not going to use my GoPro while driving on the streets/roads anymore or at least find a less obvious place for it.

next step for gopro... make the footage password protected when you hook it up via usb.

or make the video inadmissible in court...

That's why I never bought one yet, I'd use it strictly for the track.

Good luck with that in Virginia........ They confiscate radar detectors as well ...........

Well VA is a backward state.....lol

The only thing good about them is there gun laws............ we can carry in most places in the state ........... and with the upcoming economy and ppl losing jobs ...... the lawless will be coming out of the woodwork.

I use my GoPro to work and back every day. The drive is super hairy and I just have it in case someone else hits me or pulls out into me. It's almost happened a few times. I don't cam my "spirited" sections but I like to know that if something happens I can prove it wasn't my fault.

There's a section where one lane N one lane S and a turn lane. I sit in the turn lane and the oncoming traffic has to move over one lane. It's basically head on if they aren't paying attention to the stripes. Large gap in the stripes as well for the 3 lane entrance. I'm just waiting to get rammed into.

That sucks!

wouldn't that be a 4th amendment right breached?

I'm sure they could just get a judge to issue a warrant for the gopro
