The only remotely visible camera is a helmet cam. The main challenge of a GoPro is the battery life isn't there. Realistically, you need a camera with 4+ hr battery life.
I recently had a passenger tap me on the butt while the car drove by. Unfortunately, my camera was off because it was a wide open street with minimal traffic. If the camera doesn't have enough battery to run for the entire length of the ride, it's not that useful.
Wow, wouldn't that qualify as assault/sexual assault? Probably not worth reporting, though if the local PD was bike-friendly and it was easy to turn the footage over (if any) it'd be worth a shot just to generate a warning.
