One Guy Crowdsourced More Than 500 Dashcams for Minneapolis to Film ICE

Happy to see the dashcam discourse.

Mine runs about 100mb/minute (these things don’t compress much), so make sure you consider that when buying an SD card.

You may not want to hold toooo much but I suppose you could oversize+underprovision to get some more write cycles.

Virtually all have a “save” button to avoid overwriting segments.

You’ll need some car mods if you want the to continuously record (and cutout if battery voltage gets too low). Mine at least has a tiny capacitor (or battery?) to detect movement and kick on for 15 seconds while disconnected for a few cycles.

I would be happy to see the corresponding crowd sourcing for more bodycams for ICE and CBP as well

You would have to get them to wear them.

Besides, ICE has a budget larger than the US Marine Corps thanks to the unfortunately named “Big Beautiful Bill”, they can afford their own.

Are you really sure that you want to give them the ability to identify protesters?
