What you do in public aint private {duh} and so long as the video aint edited a fair court can call it how it sees it. @Gary, I don’t see any legal issue where the law would be behind.

Hopefully These will become standard equipment for cops this way when they mess up its on "tape." Do it yourselfers and hobbiest will get a great deal of benefit from it also mechanics an service pros will too.

I drive trucks, if i could record the idiots i look down upon, we might get safer roads with less idiots on them due to being removed for infringements...that said the law would need to keep pace with tech it it's already 30-100 years behind in most instances.

But at only 640x240 the res is too low, really. Shame, looks otherwise neat. Don't know why it specifically states "Android smartphones". Is it presumed that they are the only mobile device that supports bluetooth video streaming? Or maybe it comes with/requires specialist software that is only available for android? conclusion: nice device. Up the res. I take it the first 2 responses are from americans. You poor guys. All we seem to hear from you lot is "invasion of privacy" & "terrorism" Mmm, looks nice.

For example, this coupled with a video call could allow an IT tech to contact a colleague and show them a particular problem they cant fix. Using one of these, demonstrational videos could also be easier to make. Also, using one of these you wont have to worry about the camera being at a funny angle because it will be in line with the recorder's eyesight. this could actually be a pretty useful professional tool.

This camera is a massive peeping tom weird o tool and if someone wanted to record their friends just use a regular camera but this thing is SCARY and could be a huge privacy concern in the wrong hands. If there were not so many weird os out there we wouldnt have to worry. Nothing to do with terrorism not sure why you people bring that crap up allt he time.

Most states already have laws about video and other types of recording that are sufficient for privacy protection, and many of them are far too limiting and punitive, especially with regard to recording of public places that "might be terrorist targets" and recording of law enforcement personnel which is usually the only way to prove that they are doing wrong.
