Anyone have a dash cam?

Just listening to Jeremy Vine and they are talking about stickers on cars voiding insurance and I just wondered if a dash cam would fit in this category, I am assuming not as its not a permanent fixture and in that case a Gps would be in the line of fire too. They had a vicar on who had her sump stolen and because she had stickers on the car about Jesus the insurance was voided...thoughts anyone ?
They just had a bloke on who was on his motorcycle and was hit by a bloke who had painted his car a different colour and his insurance wouldn't pay out citing that he was legal as he had insurance but his insurance was voided as he had not declared the colour change..unbelievable
This happened in the bike world a good few years ago with the stickers where they classed a sticker as a modification.
Anything to get out of paying out.
Think most of it has been relaxed as it can get stupid.
For instance you change tyres and its not the same brand as the car came with new so its a mod and they dont pay out.
Or you fit new shocks and they are not OEM so they dont pay out.

Photo tutorial would be good......like to fit one but would have to be discreet and hard wired.
I'll write photograph & one this week. - i.e. Before the Weekend.
I've done 3 recently so got it sussed in about 20 minutes now !
Thank you very much....appreciate it.

Never considered that if I could see the camera screen whilst driving I would be committing a driving offence, luckily mine is on the passenger side of the rear view mirror and I cant even see it from the drivers seat.

I love the idea of these cameras but know that all that there's a 10% chance that they would catch something interesting on the road that effected me / others and a 90% chance that it would just be used against me.
One with gps / speed data being borrowed by the police for any reason would be the kind of suicide not seen since Gary Glitter took his laptop in for a service ! You don't even need to be pushing on, the speed limits around me are designed for police fund raising.
So whilst I initially saw these and thought "I love it ! Must have one". The reality is that I never can.
Instead I'll use the screen / dashboard real estate for a speed camera warning device / app. That's just the sad world we live in that I have to do this.
