There are people who actually use their bikes to commute,not just to play on the MUP. And they have to ride with cars. Sometimes that can go bad. And that's when a video camera comes into its own.
Please reference your sources for the extent (or even examples) of court case verdicts and insurance settlements that were dependent on the "invaluable evidence" taken by rearward facing camera provided by bicycle commuters or people like myself who ride every day on city streets for transportation and shopping.
Don't bother providing examples of instances where you read online about bicycle riders who gratuitously submit rear view videos of something that offended them to somebody in the police station and the "settlement" (at best) is a response along the lines of "Thanks, we'll look into it."
