NAL. First things first. Go somewhere safe and use something that shows your speed verified by GPS. Maybe Waze. Confirm that your speedometer is not under rating your speed. Side note: most speedometers over rate your speed by a few mph just to be safe.Then buy this one or this one if you want the GPS speed on your videos. They are wedge shaped and hidden pretty well. DO NOT announce that you are recording (MO is single party consent) or have a camera.

Now, if you get pulled over, politely state that you don't agree with the charge if it is again bogus, but then accept and sign it. Then when you go to court bring JUST THAT CLIP(no need to give them your last ~4 hours of driving; have heard of cops giving tickets based on that). Have it on a tablet or something else and also on a cheap flash drive that you don't mind giving away in case they need it. Complain that you keep on getting these tickets by the same officer.

Also bonus points, get the a118 (cheaper) and put it on your rear window where it's hidden to show him following you repeatedly and feel free to bring that if he sometimes follows you. Make a point to take a route that people don't usually take every time to make a point that he's specifically targeting you.

Head over to r/dashcam and you'll have all the information you'd ever want. The most commonly recommended one is the A119, which is the one I bought and so far it's great and I highly recommend it. Here is a link to the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IEQUABA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are several A119 v2s

• This one is A119 v2 - EVA Black foam pads I think. Standard A119 v2 with or w/o GPS. ($85-102 USD) Sold by USA Retailers Depot
  
  
• This one is A119 v2 No GPS - No EVA Foam Pads ($80 USD) Sold by Spy Tec
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS - No EVA Foam Pads ($89 USD) Ships from and sold by Adorama Camera.
  
  
• This one is A119 v1 No GPS for some reason - I wouldn't really purchase A119 v1 any more. - No EVA Foam Pads ($82 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS + Hardwire kit cheap + Black EVA Foam pad (very nice) + Micro SD card 64gb (very nice) - This is actually a good deal. ($124 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS Black EVA Foam pad ($90 USD) Sold by BAIKLOV
  
  
• This one A119S v2 With GPS or w/o GPS - Different Dash cam, supposed to be improved over the A119 v2, I think it failed to live up to expectations. Black EVA Foam pad ($95- 110 USD) Sold by OCD Tronic
  
  
• This one A119 v2 With GPS + Black EVA Foam pad +90 Degree miniUSB Adapter - This is a want for many. W/o the GPS module the straight USB adapter is less than discreet. ($84 USD) Sold by Capture Your Action
  
  
• Edit>>> This one is A119 v1 - Mislabeled on website - Possibly on purpose mislabeled - very fishy. This one A119 v2 With GPS ($80 USD) Sold by BlackboxMyCar - This one lacks the Black EVA foam pads, and pads appear to be Grey - This was a major complaint by many A119 Users.
  
  -----------
  
  Some have the Black Foam pads, which was a major want from A119 users since A119 v1. - More discreet, and foam pad absorbs vibration. Some are good deals, others are meh.
  
  90 degree adapter is only important if you don't use GPS mount. However, this was a major complaint from A119 v1 users having to use (side) dash cam power port - Not discreet, instead of (top) GPS mount power port - Discreet.
  
  Anyways, Different retailers, different No GPS/GPS, and different extras.

This is what I use and its about as good as you can get for your budget https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IEQUABA

Records really well at night, better than 1080p resolution so it captures details like license plates and people moving around in the car. Comes with everything you need including a cable to get power from the cigarette lighter in your car. Get a decent 64GB high speed micro SD card like this one https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDXC-Standard-Packaging-SDSQUNC-064G-GN6MA/dp/B010Q588D4 and youre set for less than $150.

This one

I have this one (VIOFO A119G) and it has been rock solid reliable so far.

If you want a duo get the VIOFO A129, or...I've considered buying another A119G for the rear so I have double 2K 30fps feeds front and back.

I have this dashcam since April 2017, never given me problems ever.

I have used this for a little over a year, great quality and easy to set up. The adhesive is strong (this is a warning to not mess up placement lol) You can get a polarizing lens for it as well which costs$20 and cuts down glare in the daytime. Includes GPS if you want so you can include your location and speed if you want to. Both can be turned off independently as well. Comes with little clips to secure the cable along the top of your windshield as well. I also use a 64GB micro SD with it.
