I remember seeing in some cigar magazine about an earpiece camera that when you press the button on the side, the last 20 seconds get recorded. Pretty much everything you saw in the last 20 seconds gets recorded. Sometimes just that doesn't help but that with the dash cam will do tons of work.
Current Mods

Looks like he's playing the victim role in all of this, but we won't really know if he's actually a scammer until proven guilty...

I still think people are going too far. If you're making posters, then you have far too much time on your hands.

Update! After OPP (Ontario Provincial Police...for those of you not from the area) investigations, Ragu has been charged with fraud over $5000 and public mischief. They keep insisting to call it a "black honda" :blinksmiley:, technically it is but... its an Acura...
