This is what I like about having video. Also, the problem with violation databases is that law enforcement has been really reluctant to actually enforce close passes, even in states with 3' or 4' passing laws - calling and even providing video often results in crickets, not even an internal note on the PD's system. Someone could buzz cyclists for years and then, when they finally do go too far, it appears as if they have a clean history.
