[NMCycling] This is why we should always wear cameras

[paul via Bike-racers]

Agreed. To amplify, Bob Mionski - Legally Speaking - makes the point 
about how a camera can work against you. It'll record "those five stop 
signs you burned through and that red light you ignored", which could 
easily turn you from the victim to the aggressor.

Fyi, Bob spent a summer here in the 90's and has quite a resume:
