Police forces in England have appealed to motorists who have in-car
cameras ( aka dashcams )to help them spot and prosecute
criminals.
Senior officers have said the cameras may help catch offenders in
specific situations where the police themselves are not present.
Motorists buy dashcams to record
whether any accident that occurs to the vehicle is the fault of its
driver, or someone else. Motor insurance firms tend to offer lower premiums to drivers who have them. They can be useful in insurance and court
claims. However, they can also provide extra eyes on the road for the
benefit of traffic officers.
Norwich resident Tony Sutton told the Norwich Evening News he has seen
several incidents on his dashcam and supports the idea of the police
making use of such footage.
Commenting: "We know the police cannot be everywhere," he noted that
dashcams provide invaluable evidence like date and time stamps and also
GPS readings on car speeds, which can then help prove if other motorists
are going too fast. As a result, they can assist in securing
convictions in court.
