I have one, a Minolta that my GF gave me last year for my birthday.

I never drive anywhere without it. I believe every car should have one.

dashcams are apparently illegal in some states (for some bullshit reason) so do your research first

Probably insurance companies bribing the gov so that no one has proof of accidents

by research I used google

https://www.lifewire.com/are-dash-cams-legal-534879

Mounting a dash cam, or any device, on your windshield is illegal throughout most of the United States on a state level, although there are some exceptions.

It's also important to note that the focus tends to be preventing the obstruction of the driver's view of the road. So even if you mount your dash cam on your dash, if it looks like it's obstructing your view, you might get pulled over.

List of states it's Illegal:

Alabama,
Arkansas,
Connecticut,
Delaware,
Georgia,
Idaho,
Iowa,
Kansas,
Kentucky,
Louisiana,
Maryland,
Michigan,
Mississippi,
Montana,
Nebraska,
New Hampshire,
New Jersey,
New Mexico,
New York,
North Carolina,
North Dakota,
Oklahoma,
Oregon,
Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island,
South Carolina,
South Dakota,
Texas,
Utah,
Vermont,
Virginia,
Washington,
Washington DC,
West Virginia,
Wisconsin,
Wyoming

Funny how things like Xbox Kinect can "monitor" activity but a dash cam is a big no-no because it can "obstruct the driver's view)

Yea, there is a definite need of change in these states

Kinect obstructs the view of your window maybe, dash cams make a blind spot. Just mount it around your cabin light.

Why not, like, on the roof of the car? I mean, it doesn't HAVE to be a literal dash cam, does it?

meanwhile those old garmin GPS things on the windshield and/or uber drivers mounting their cell phones up for navigation are totally fine

meanwhile my 5 inch touchscreen interface that I have to look away from the road to use is totally legal and fine
