Put another way. If I was going through a Green light, doing
35 mph in a 40 mph zone, and someone else T-bones me,
running a red-light doing 45 mph. Late at night with no witness.
I would most likely loose the case. Consider this. My Ford
will be testifying that I never applied the brakes to avoid an
accident among other things. The other guys car, will be
smart enough to not testify against him. Now add to this,
a traffic fatality and you could start to understand what this
invasion of privacy can do.
It won't say anything about whose light was red or green...an investigator would probably know whether you hit your brakes or not anyway, there are lots of ways to tell. The Chief of my department is a nationally recognised accident reconstructionist...I'm trying to learn from him.
