It may be a good idea to double check your dashcam settings.

Absolutely disgusting. Who would intentionally broadcast this??? "Hey guys, I'm not home and won't be for a while, so please rob me!"

It would be a great feature for someone who is being harassed by authorities like ICE and wants a public record to be available even if they are abducted or killed.

But you'd have to go into it knowing that's happening. I wouldn't otherwise want this around for any other reason. Personally.

You asked who would intentionally broadcast this. It is a feature that some people would want, and I provided an example. That example person might want it on all the time because they don't know when they will be harassed.

I personally would not want it either.
