The rear camera I was thinking, in case the guy actually plows into me. Wanted something to show what hit me. On the other hand, the vehicle is a new pickup truck & he probably doesn't want to mess it up. Otoh, aren't rear-enders a common way for cyclists to get hit?
Nice images,

It is against the law and I did get a plate number and call the police. They didn't suggest they'd do anything, I suggested they should talk to him. An avid-biker associate at work said it's MilwaukeePD's poliicy to follow up with the driver in a bicyclist complaint. So I hope that's true.
