Who video records their commutes?

[bicycletricycle]

I have been thinking of video recording my commute for possible use as evidence in case of accidents. Sometimes I think it might be just as likely used as proof against me but that is not the only possible downside, the weight and maintimence of this gear would also be a pain.

Curious if anyone here has experience doing this, anything from actual gear set ups, clearing memory cards, actual use of footage as evidence, low light effectiveness, etc.

Trying to get some general info.

Thanks.
