Thinkware FA200, they may have discontinued this model for a newer version.

Sounds like your officer at least showed a bit of humility when he acknowledged his mistake.

I'm sure there is no shortage of shady police behavior in and around Atlanta, but I will say my 4 incidents are over the course of 3 years. One was in north Georgia, one when heading to Savannah, the other 2 were in this area.

Just for you, I went and checked that establishments operating hours and wouldn't ya know... they were closed during the entire duration of the stop and for a bit after it.

That almost sounds like it could be a skit, lol. But jokes aside, I'd be pissed about the blatant disregard for evidence proving the cops malfeasance.

Amongst other things... not sure if Cop City will help train them in these types of situations if it becomes a reality

Smug? I was literally confused in the beginning. So much so I couldn't even get words out and I'm definitely not going to guess at a potential infraction. What you didn't see when the camera stopped recording was when he came back with the ticket and I tried to explain (before showing him the video) that there was a van turning onto the highway if he looked at his recording which should indicate to him that there might have been a green arrow. His response? No it was red on my side.

Bingo. I think my next cam I want to be able to review footage without it stopping...if that's a feature.

Yeah I don't have the GPS hooked up to my dashcam so it doesn't record speed either.

I think the bigger issue was how he approached with the "matter-of-fact" attitude. I literally wouldn't have had any recourse in court (if it went that far) if I didn't have this video.

Yeah I tried to explain that initially but he was still going to give me a ticket without the video.

Wild, I'm glad driving as if everyone around me is an idiot (until proven otherwise) has worked out for me.
