Go-Pro with self destruct for 2013...

[Mr.P]

Someone make this happen...Just like the mission impossible stuff.

Or maybe a format button on the side or bottom.

Will you be wearing that on a chest rig, or on a goggle strap?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Won't work. Unless you specifically go after the memory chip, won't work. If the chip is intact, it can be removed from even a broken circuit board and read. Same goes double for hard drives. Even if the platters are fragmented, you can still read bits off them. Both of these are difficult and expensive, so it's unlikely they'd be used against a single person, but the capability is there.

 

[R3DS!X]

Platters? In a sd card? Lmao!

 

[Mr.P]

...Anyone find a good idea for this yet?

 

[Yakoo752]

only way would be destroying the SD card (as formatting won't destroy the data)

destroy SD card while it's in the camera = you destroy the camera (likely outcome)

what did you do that will cost you more then the cost of replacing camera & SD card?

 

[Jiggles]

Just don't film your speedo

 

[stan23]

I'd be more interested for the files to be written and encrypted real time.

Probably a lot more than that little GoPro processor can handle.

Your bike has a front license plate?

 

[Shaggy]

Number plate. Not license plate.

 

[TylerW]

mount your gopro in the skeleton housing, pop the card out and hide/dispose of it.

What are the circumstances under which your own recordings can be subpoenaed as evidence against you?

 

[n10sive]

Why? Someone find your camera with a sex tape on it? :laughing

 

[CABilly]

Something like a grenade pin would be cool. Flip a strongly detented switch and pull the pin out to initiate the auto-wipe. Then there's no fumbling with buttons with gloves on.

Or make the switch the pin once you flip it, pull it out.

What are the circumstances under which your own recordings can be subpoenaed as evidence against you?

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but the 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination applies to testimony, not evidence.

If you possess evidence of a crime, you can be subpoenaed to provide that evidence, even if it incriminates you. Of course you can challenge the subpoena on certain legal grounds too. And it bears mentioning that a subpoena comes after the fact, so by the time you receive a subpoena, you could have already deleted that video in the ordinary course of regular activity. This is why police gather evidence when they see it.

And i think the worry here is that folks would like a nice way to securely delete the information at the scene so that if it is taken as evidence at the time, the evidence is useless.

I'm also not a lawyer, so I could be totally clueless, but I think I'm kinda correct based on what I've seen and heard.
