Why Does Everyone in Russia Have Cameras in Their Car? (Dashboard Cam)

If you're like me and have been watching some of these videos of the meteor shower in Russia, you might be wondering: Why do all of these cars have cameras in them?

The short answer: to protect themselves and their wallets. From who?  From (1) shady drivers trying to extort money out of them and (2) crooked cops trying to give them a ticket for something that was not their fault.

I guess these are things you have to be concerned with as a driver in Russia.

Some of the best dashboard camera videos I'd seen prior to this meteor business:

[[truck crashes into gas station - how lucky is the guy pumping his gas??]]


[[plane crashing into a bridge/highway]]


[[guy's car gets crushed...and survives]]
