Car dash cams

You need to work on your reading skills!

That Yoga guy had a history of insurance claims.

The wheels article states: "He does, in fact, have a lengthy rap sheet of Highway Traffic Act offences — 26 in four years — but most are for licence plate issues and speeding, and he has no criminal history.
Provide proof that Yogarajah has a history of insurance scams please.

Sham never intended for online harassment of Yoga. That's an entirely separate issue.

Reread GPIDEAL, I never said anything about harassment of Yogarajah. I was speaking of the guy that was driving the pickup in the other video.
Besides, how do you know he didn't? Where's your proof? With my counter-arguments I'm only trying to get you to open your eyes and accept there are alternative possibilities and not take anyone at their word.
Sham should have blanked out Yogarajah's license plate. He left himself potentially open to a lawsuit.

You have absolutely no proof that Sham altered the video.

ABSOLUTELY HE DID! Sham modified the original video with comments and balloons then posted it to YouTube.
From http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2..._401_sparks_onslaught_of_threats_racism.html: "The next day, he uploaded the footage to YouTube with the title “The reason why you need a dash camera (scam foiled).” In the video, he added word bubbles alleging Yogarajah demanded $500 on the spot to pay for the damage.”

From http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2..._driver_charged_with_fraud_and_mischief.html: "The OPP investigation into the crash began after the online uproar grew". This is key information. The police never saw the original video at the time of the accident. Any lawyer would point out that the police did not see the raw footage at the scene and in fact, it was several days later and in the meantime Shaw, an experienced video editor had the only copy. That clearly raises doubt about the integrity of the video.

I'm NOT saying I know Shaw modified the video, what I'm saying is there is reasonable doubt about the integrity of the video!! Sham had means, had motive and had opportunity.

They're very popular in Russia due to widespread insurance claim fraud. (It isn't an accident that somebody's dash cam filmed that meteoroid speeding through the atmosphere).

LOL, absolutely it was an accident. But I understand what you are trying to say.

You are trying to argue that dash cams are for the most part, unreliable from an evidentiary point of view and that their users have ulterior motives, just from the few bad apples you talk about. No way.

Wrong again, please reread. I've said repeatedly that dash cams could definitely offer benefits, but based on my conversations with pseudo-experts they may have limited value in court (untested and chain of evidence). Further, I stated that as the technology continues to mature, these issues will likely also be addressed.

Go ahead and get one, but as per |2 /-\ | /|/'s comments get a fully featured one. And if something happens, try to find a witness to augment the video and don't be disappointed if a lawyer shreds your cam evidence.

26 offences in FOUR years. Yeah, I'd say that's quite the history.

As per the Star article "but most are for licence plate issues and speeding, and he has no criminal history"
Couldn't have been more than 2-4 speeding tickets or he would have lost his license. That means 22+ offences have nothing to do with a vehicle in motion.
Tesla, for a tin-hat conspiracy theorist who sees evil aliens, Jews and Blacks under every rock, I'm disappointed you aren't more thoughtful and open minded. There is no proof that this situation even went to court, let alone a conviction.

I think it's safe to say, the dash cam saved Sham from a lot more bullshit. Good for him.

Based on what? Show me your proof. Based on the (modified) video, we don't know for a FACT that Yogarajah asked for $500, nor do we even have proof that Yogarajah denied causing the accident. As far as i can see, this is Sham's work against Yogarajah.

I hope you aren't judging Yogarajah by his ethnic background.

Say whatever you want, but I agree with what this guy posted on redflagdeals, in regards to Yoga boy having 26 offences in FOUR years. Have yourself a quick read.

If you do the math, that's about one offence for every two months. Pretty fuckin' shady.



You're also the same guy that questions why anyone would jump in front of a car. lol
You saw this video I posted above right? I'll post it again, just in case you don't have a second to scroll up.

As for what's NOT MODIFIED in the video, is Yogi-man backing into Sham, that clearly is NOT.

The poster on redflagdeals starts out with "Ragu is a goddd damm liar. this is their walk of life quick money no real job"
Any intelligent person here on Terb would see that as stereotyping and the the rantings of a RACIST. Does that not immediately reduce his credibility to near zero? Did you look at some of his other posts, the man is a hater!

Tesla, if you are trying to support your arguments by posting random links at least bother to make sure they are fact based and not the rants of a fool. Look at his other posts. Research the content. You just end up making yourself look like an idiot!

AGAIN: The wheels article states: "He does, in fact, have a lengthy rap sheet of Highway Traffic Act offences — 26 in four years — but most are for licence plate issues and speeding, and he has no criminal history. Obviously, the speeding tickets are few and minor, or he wouldn't have his license.

You're also the same guy that questions why anyone would jump in front of a car. lol

No - I questioned if someone jumped in front of YOUR car under those circumstances.

As for what's NOT MODIFIED in the video, is Yogi-man backing into Sham, that clearly is NOT.

His name is Yogarajah.

From: http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2...n_401_sparks_onslaught_of_threats_racism.html "Yogarajah doesn’t deny he is at fault for the collision. But he got frustrated at the scene because, he says, Sham insisted Yogarajah had reversed on purpose. So Yogarajah called police himself (a move Sham admits was “weird”)."

So what's your point? You realized you used a double negative.

 

[TESLAMotors]

1) You don't find it shady to have 26 offences in four years? Nothing suspect? I agree with that redflag's post, it's too sketchy to not consider that this "accident" he had with Sham was nothing more than a scam.

2) You can question it all you want, but it happened and it does happen to others. You even asked, why would anyone do that"?
Your words ---> Why would a pedestrian "jump in front of your car"? No pedestrian is going to come out of a car collision the victor.
They don't have to actually get hit with complete impact, all that's needed is to fake it, you did look at the video posted above right?
What visual aid are you not cluing in on here? lol
So like I said, why not ask the guys in the video posted above.

As to what happened in my situation, my thinking was, this guy was either:
a) high or drunk
b) suicidal
c) looking for a scam
d) who knows?
Either way it answers your "why would anyone do something like that" type question.

3) Point is, the guy got busted and if true to Sham's claims that Yogi'mon tried to scam him out of $500, then yeah, of course he had to play all proactive in the situation, knowing fell well it was recorded.

Shady past, 26 offences, backing into a car for no reason, yeah you go on and keep believing there wasn't anything sketchy at all.

How many hours of recording do you get on an SD card? I've been thinking about one myself but haven't looked into it yet.

 

[TESLAMotors]

I've read on a 64 microSD up to 12hours, but you don't have to worry as the cam loops records. Which essentially means, start to record over the oldest videos on the card.
Some makers require that you format with their special steps to get more out of the card, etc. Go with someone reputable and you're fine.
DOD, BlackVue are two solid companies that I can think of at the moment.
I recommend watching this guy, he does a great job and is very thorough.
2:37 in the video will give you a breakdown of card size/time etc. Just use it as a rough idea because it's only one manufacturers guesstimate of recording time.
Then there's also the question quality of video 1080p can be lowered as can frame rate and that in turn sacrifices quality of picture for more time.

Trying to find a video of a guy giving an excellent explanation of how it works.

The one I have records for 4 hours. I can also set it to record in segments of 1-5 minutes so you can go back and find the time you need without going through the whole 4 hours.
