Swallow your sd card if in doubt. 
Although if you've just killed someone I'd imagine you could be done for withholding evidence.

They cant use it yet
But may in time
In the event that you're prosecuted for dangerous driving, it could prove your innocence. Potentially, the Gardaí could seize the footage with a search warrant, but there's nothing under the current Road Traffic Act that would allow them access to such data.

You need a warrant to take a phone
That would be criminal
not road traffic offence
so not under road traffics act
Its not in the road traffics act so Defoe can't be used
Big difference in road traffic offence
and criminal case
If they change the law then they could
but not at present
same as your go pro you drive with
they both would be fine
Wouldn't try that speedy

They don't have powers to take the camera without a warrant
I'd say putting the video in to public domain is different matter

Colm: Well, from what you said earlier on, I understood that breaking rules of road is not a criminal act. As such it should not be triggering any investigation, unless criminal act is done, such as damaging someone's property or hurting somebody(i.e. hit and run)
not that I would be trying that
and deffo not that I would be driving 120 in 60 zone driving 200 in 120 zone doesnt count!

It can and will be used against you.
Loads of cases UK and US etc where people arrested from posting up.

Its very simple really. If you upload it to you-tube etc and it shows an offence then theoretically it can be used against you.... This has been done many times in the past. And im sure it will get more popular as the use of dash cams increase.
If your involved in an accident or reported for dangerous driving etc then they can seize it, but only with a warrant, or your permission to take it.
Then, if it captures a criminal offence, depending on the offence and the powers granted under the offence it may be taken, in some cases, without a warrant.
Common sense, if your involved in something, accident, dodgy overtake etc.... Once your conscious.... Pull it down! It was never there! End of!

Exactly if they think it can be used against you and there inclined they will do just that

What about if you have dash cam footage of another road user doing something completely stupid, will they or could they use that? Or is there an element of proof required, I.e that is is your car and not someone with a copied reg plate etc?
Just out of interest as you see a lot of people posting videos up of people doing ridiculous stuff, not necessarily speeding, more breaking red lights, sitting in yellow boxes, etc?

That particular dash cam, if you stick a 32gb card in it does it re-write itself in a recording loop?
So you don't have to take the card out and wipe it when it's full, it never gets full cause it's recording over the last loop.
Is that the way it works?
