When do we get to see the footage? Youtube!

Jim

Im happy your basically OK. Thats a HARD hit. We too have cameras in our Patrol cars. We use the Kustom Signals Digital Eyewitness. They are set to go back 3 minutes from the time they are activated and automatically turn on at impact. I have to be honest I rarely wear a seatbelt while working as we are a very urban area and we are in and out of the cars alot. I may rethink that now. Again Im glad your not permanently injured.


Chris

got the cd today. I must have been out longer than I thought because once the camera comes on it is about 3 seconds till impact. Shows the green light clearly though so I am covered. I thought I had turned it on about ten seconds after the crash but it was more like 80 seconds since ours backs up 90 seconds upon activation. My command staff is already talking about having the cameras activate when an airbag fires.

I will try to figure out how to post it up tonight.

Chris,

This crash happened 300 feet from the PD driveway. I had just fueled up and talked to a 4 yr old kid about seat belts. His mom had asked me to talk to him since he unhooks his seatbelt and gets out of the seat while she is driving. When I left I said to him " see, even I wear my belt all the time". Less than 2 miles later I am crashed and on the way to the hospital. Had I not been wearing my belt I would have been in trouble.

glad to hear you are ok

Makes you wonder why at that moment in time, a mother came to you to talk to her son about seatbelt usage. Two miles later... Makes you think...

yeh.....was I there for the kid or was the kid there for me?

Jim, I think you need to buy that kid an ice cream!
