The big problem with cameras is that they catch the car, not the driver.
Say I borrow your car, take it on a 100mph jaunt through the middle of town.
You suddenly get a really nasty ticket mailed to you, while you were
sitting in your underwear, on your couch, watching the news.
Quite possibly watching the live news chopper footage of my driving your
car through downtown at 100mph.
