it's a game changer, and people are being cited for things that were captured on helmet cameras. Two different local police organizations have cited people based on the helmet camera video. One of them was an egregious close pass in violation of the 4' law -- would have been in violation of the 1' law. I was actually riding in front of the person with the camera and because of that it was indisputable that the pass was too close. The other was when someone went straight from a right turn lane. That was sent to three police organizations and they all agreed they would cite for it but only one of them had jurisdiction. It was really hard for anyone to argue with the evidence in those cases. We have professional police around here and when they see video like that they cite. There is the possibility you will have to go to court as a witness if the person decides to take it to court, but this hasn't happened.

If the video isn't conclusive, they are much less likely to cite, but if they can see for themselves what has happened it's a different story. I'm sure if people have problems getting a response that pushing it a little will get more action.
