They can, yes.

The very next day after I installed mine in my delivery truck, a woman ran a red light and T-boned me. She lied to the cop, told him that I was the one who ran the light. Cop initially believed her, was going to cite me. I asked him, "Would you like to look at the video?"

He looked, video clearly showed me going through a green light, her Mercedes coming through the red light on the side street. Cop said, "Don't worry, you're OK" and proceeded to cite her for running the red light, and said that he was going to speak to the DA about her lie.

Most, but not all, are equipped with GPS; speed is derived from GPS data.

The only one that comes to mind for me right now that does not have GPS is the lowest price Garmin unit; there are probably others too, but most do have GPS.

I try put a new card in every summer, but I’m in Texas. They definitely will not last forever and prices have come down...kinda cheap insurance. You might also check for firmware updates.

For mine, I added the GPS “module” so it records speed and location.

The unit I have, a Rove R2-4K single camera, has the option of recording speed or not.

In my experience, settings like speed and sound can be turned on or off.

These dash cams and the data they retain, can you be compelled to turn that over to the authorities?
