    Many states (mine, Arkansas included) do not allow for the use of photographic evidence in traffic enforcement. This is specifically aimed at red light cameras and those little portable radar/camera trailers, but what it typically means is that if a cop didn't see the violation, it didn't happen :-(

    I record some of my rides, especially unusual ones or climbing rides. Here's my YouTube channel:

    So far it is all cycling-related material. I found out through trial and error years ago that cycling stuff usually doesn't attract the trolls and bad ratings. However, if it has anything to do with Critical Mass, then the trolls come out of the woodwork. I don't do CM rides, but I saw the flamefests on other people's CM videos.

    The latest video has music on it because I was testing my so-called waterproof camera in the rain. The rain got in the tiny mic hole and made the audio sound like crap, so only the first minute of the video is raw. All my other videos are raw, as I like to hear the sounds of a typical ride.

    Knock on wood, I haven't had bad luck with motorists lately, and I hope to not have to capture footage of that in the future. I like to relive fun rides

    All the footage is from handlebar-mounted cameras or handheld ones. I don't own a helmet cam.
