B.C. Conservative MLA Ward Stamer introduced a bill after a string of deadly collisions on Highway 5, which goes through his riding of Kamloops-North Thompson.
The bill as it is written doesn’t appear to be a problem. But the implementation needs to be monitored by those affected.
A small company can grab a cheap dash cam from Amazon that has all sorts of capabilities that extend past what is currently allowed. And those features have a cost that is usually offset by selling data somehow.
I found one model that didn’t have a mic as a feature, but it was available if a firmware patch was applied.
