Depends on jurisdiction. Dash cams are illegal in many countries.

True, only the police are allowed to run dash cams in those countries. We could also mention the trend toward berserk copyright laws that have much the same effect. [1]

And these are not good things. Both communal and private interests end up worse off in the long run with laws like these.
