Yes. It is awesome having a dashcam.

Long story: I see a cop behind me. (I have Utah plates in California. I often work in CA and I am visiting family, but I am aware they have a HUGE fine for not registering your out of state vehicle in CA when living in CA. I stopped at a stop sign, wait for the truck to rock back and forth for the camera. Then pulled forward to see around a huge tree. A cop lights me up. I start bamboozer. I pull into private parking lot. He says, do you know why I stopped you. "I assumed you needed assistance officer, because I have broken no laws." He gets this condescending tone and look. Why are you filming me. I don't need to justify actions that are protected by the first amendment. He rolls his eyes. Says you have no idea why I stopped you. I used to date a girl that would play this game. She would always expect me to know what she was pissed about. I am just as likely to reach up and touch the moon as I am to figure out what is going on in your head, why don't you enlighten me officer. You blew right through that stop sign, you didn't see it? Do you mean the one I came to a complete stop at, right there? Where are you headed? I don't answer questions. Give me your license/reg/proof. I hand it over because I don't know CA law that well. Is this address current. I don't answer questions. You have to answer that question. Then you will need to direct that question to my attorney, I will not answer anymore questions without my attorney present. Am I free to go. NO! Where are you staying. I don't answer questions. (back and forth for another 10 minutes.) Calls out another cruiser after he notices my dashcam. Comes back after another 10 minutes. I am going to write you a warning today. No thanks officer. I want the ticket. I am going to prove you liked in court. The officer just walks back to the other car, and then they both get in their cars and drive away. I lost the video when my SSD harddrive crashed or I would just upload and link to it.
