This is something I've always wondered under Australian law, so here is my question.
If a police officer accuses a person of unlawful behavior whilst driving, can the officer confiscate a dashcam or recording device if this can prove the accused of their innocence?
For example:
You were accused of driving in a manner dangerous, speeding, not complying with road rules etc
I have heard of reports in the USA were police officers have seized a persons dashcam or phone for the purpose of evidence when they have advised that they can prove their innocence with their dashcam.
