    If UKPC can alter time stamps why can't a canny motorist? Just saying!

    Mine records about 5 hours

    Yes about right for a 32gb card recording at 1080 - need a good sized one for more than a day - though of course it doesn't necessarily record unless the car is on so 3 trips at different times could all fit on one card and even 2 separate clips would prove the car was not there all day

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    And on some dashcams you can "write protect" the recording manually.

    Aside from dashcams , from what I understand there's also a way to get tracking data from smartphones.
