 If you do not have a dash cam, get one.

 Someone is about to get shot. That's assault with a deadly weapon, in my book.  
 Definitely terrible people  
 I was looking at dashcams, but, gosh, they pretty much all suck.

 This is the one the lady used that got hit.

 Oof. That's not cheap. I'm not really wanting to spend that much, though, it looks like a very good package.  
 $150-200 USD is expected for a decent midgrade one. 
 That's... Kinda ridiculous for the hardware. *sighs* It is what it is. 

The other issue is that they don't have a single package that doesn't nickel and dime you to death.  
 Geez. That price bracket kinda sucks. Moving up to $300 gets you a lot better hardware and UX.  
 Yea I am sure there are better value dash cams out there. I'll do some research. That definitely saved her a lot of money it paid for itself in that situation for her.  
 Möbius is pretty good 
 I watched this to get me started on what is good:

 Thanks for linking it.  I'll take a look. 
 You're welcome. 

If I wasn't so fiat poor, I'd buy the Viofo A229 Pro right now. There's a $90 coupon on the three channel model on Amazon right now and that is a very good deal.  
 Maybe can find one for great price on the used market like ebay.  
 True! 
 Nothing used for that model on ebay, but... I'm not in a rush.  
 Set some price alerts on camelcamelcamel too. Us Bitcoiner are very patient when shopping for items too 😂. I get a lot of great condition used stuff on ebay just got make sure seller has decent reputation. Best of luck finding a great deal. Patience is key. 
 I forgot about camel^3! 
 You can see the driver scamper off to the car the pulled over up ahead. It was following the 'mark' in the longer video as she had a rear camera too. 
 This was in queens NYC 

Nightmare… but assholes like this exist and they’re plentiful 
 Los golpeo uno por uno, gente basura 
 Good advice. Every car I own has one. I like the VanTrue N4 and E3’s with front, inside and rear facing. 😎 
 I love the guy with the hat. As he walks up to the car, he sees the cam. His whole demeanor changes and turns around. 
 Queue the sitcom music. 
 The we fucked up face was the best part of the video 
 This is a video of how the world works now in five steps:
1. Asshole entitled retards
2. Do something unimaginable
3. Takes out phone to record response
4. Blames you as the problem
5. Other retards agree 
 Welcome to 2024! 
 And what will happen...

Nothing.

Legal system will let those people out with a "warning"...and they'll be back on the streets (if they get arrested at all).

"We don't have the resources..." 
 They will be back on the street doing same thing to someone without a dash cam and get away with it probably. 
 They fucked with the wrong car. 
 💯 
 #DeportThemAll 
 Wow 
 Glock would be drawn as I dialed the cops. 
 The faces would change on the spot to be apologetic for fucking with the wrong person 😂😂😂 
 Yeah, they would straighten up real quick. Make sure to have their license plates before drawing. However, I’m a Bitcoiner and my car probably wouldn’t make the best mark 😂 
 They would be like if we hit this guy we might be doing him a favor 😂 
 Haha. Exactly. Deductible probably higher than the value of the car. 
 True Bitcoiner 🤝 
 Could have been a case for The General. 
 Have a friend who works in car insurance, the number of scams and idiots are almost unbelievable. 
 Terrible that there are so many shitty people. Stay safe out there everyone.  
 Dang. Definitely going to take your advice

 What’s the point of this scam? 

Any good dash cams that are recommended? I don’t like the idea of a camera recording everything in the car but for situations like this they seem useful.
