I asked a cop in Kettering, Ohio about admissibility of video, if nothing else, to have a patrol officer go out to the offender's home and give them a warning. He said that "video can be edited" implication being that it's not admissible evidence. I think this is a complete BS answer and probably wrong. I think they just don't want to be bothered. After this, I kind of lost interest in the video camera thing. Why bother if it can't be used as evidence?

Well, I had another road rage incident this AM. I turned left at a T intersection. Green light. After I was about a half block away from the intersection, the car previously stopped at the light (who had ample time to see my reflectors, Dinotte taillight, etc) rides up my ass, flashing his lights and blaring his horn. My lane was too narrow to share (2 lanes in either direction) so rather than risk stopping and being hit, I waved for him to go around me and I took the lane for my own safety.

As the motorist speeds around me, he starts yelling out the window but I shut him down with my air horn. He speeds up ahead and appears as if he is planning to pull onto a side street and make a very bad choice to get out of his car. As it turned out, another car (that passed me courteously) was behind him and honked and flashed him to keep him moving.

On one hand, I feel like I dodged a bullet. On the other hand, with adrenalin coursing through my veins, I soooo wanted him to stop and get out of his car.

I think maybe the helmet cam idea just came back to life. My plan will be to post my encounter videos on YouTube with as much info as possible (plate number minimum). If I can find out where the offender lives or works, I'll post that too. I think it's reasoable to let employers know how their employees behave in the community, don't you?
