A lot of the video footage of the recent Russian meteor came from dashboard 
cameras in personal cars.  According to a news article I read at the time, such 
cameras have become a popular car accessory there, because of corrupt police 
demanding cash "fines" for non-existent traffic offenses, and because many 
Russian insurance companies refuse to pay car-accident claims unless you have a 
video recording of the accident.  The article didn't describe how the insurance 
companies handle being back-ended by a hit-and-run driver.
