As astronomers we should all have dash cams. I have one, and it doubles as a backup for insurance purposes.
After investigating a few big fireball events recently, I was unable to obtain any dash cam or security cam footage. Either nobody in the area used dash cams, all the security cameras were pointing at the ground, or I couldn't gain access through QLD/VIC police for the footage.
Do us all a favour and install a dash cam. If there's a Chelyabinsk-type event in this country we'll need the footage!
