Not really that worried...but if it's my word against someone else's, it is sure nice to have proof.

We have a 3' bicycle clearance law (yeah, right!), and it's nice to have video to back up your claims...in the event something happens.

I have sent copies of video to the Corporate offices of a few trucking companies showing how their drivers are behaving. The folks in charge of corporate litigation will usually jump right on it.

Most law enforcement folks seem to take it seriously, too....helps with the dog chases,too.

However, I have it on my handlebars, and usually forget it's even there...
