    Does it show who's driving? I doubt it, so how could it be used to prosecute you?

    Do you really need the possibilities explaining to you?

    They would have to have serious ground to seize it, like if you are already under arrest for something. They can't just pull you over for any unknown (made up) reason and demand your SD card.

    They can't even make you get out of your car unless under arrest.

    I provided the police with my SD card from my Dash cam of an accident as a witness. No involvement in the accident. When it was returned to me after the incident the office that had viewed the footage stated that previous footage he had looked at on the card had come close to dangerous driving. His words were that any footage may well help me in an accident but it could also be used to prosecute me. His tip was to improve my standard of driving or remove the Dash cam!

    I took his advice and have improved my driving.

    Sounds like top coppering to me that does. Dixon of Dock Green.
