Do you think that in the future, body-cameras on people will become as common as dash-cameras on cars?

I mean, people use dash-cams protect themselves in case of a car crash, so do you think people in the future would also use body-cams protect themselves in case of being involved in a fight?

Hmmm, “as common” is subjective. Where I was from, dashcams weren’t allowed.

What country doesn’t allow dash-cams? How do you even deal with a he-said she-said situation in a car crash?

Germany for one doesn’t allow them. Privacy rights of the filmed supersed rights of the filmer.

The exception are action cams that perpetually overwrite content and only store it when an impact is detected.

Western Europe has a couple. Either way, I wanted one but got a lawyer telling me I’m better off not getting it, because I’d only ever be able to hand footage off for insurance and I’d better hope the incident was in private property.
