If there is a next time I want piccies. So a set up that will record with GPS, unobstrusive and dead simple to operate, not costing big dollars also, saw one online at Jaycar that seemed okay. I just have the standard radio in the Jeep but want it to be portable.
So whats your choices, gentlemen ??

There seem to be plenty of able cameras around mate. A lot of people use the GoPros but they are not wireless and they are no good in the dark. When you find one make sure they will work well in low light, otherwise your footage will very grainy and you can not make anything out in your video clip or picture.
Further there seems to be a problem using that footage in court if it comes to that as the videos are not tamper proofed (software wise) and therefore not admissible as a normal person. However if you are the police they can use facebook video clips to warrant a arrest based on the same type of video clips..so its wide open for everyone's guess.
Sad that we have to drive these days with cameras to protect yourself.
