    If most of us carried cameras and homicidal motorists knew they were being videoed, would that alter their behavior? All it takes is a few put in jail and the publicity that brings about.

    MARIN COUNTY (KRON)–The California Highway Patrol Marin County division is searching for a driver who they believe intentionally struck four cyclists Saturday afternoon.

    A motorcycle rider heading the other way on the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road near Hicks Valley Road was wearing a video camera that captured images of the truck within seconds of the crash.

    The accused was arrested 12 hours after the hit and run. 

    .And is from Petaluma. http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/article177743081.html

    Without the motorcyclist's camera would this had gone the way of most hit and runs. Not brought to justice.
