The $70 dash cam that saved my bacon in a parking lot fender bender

I spent $70 on a cheap dash cam from Amazon about 18 months ago, just on a whim after seeing a post about insurance fraud. Last Thursday I was leaving the Target on 42nd Street and some lady backed into my bumper while I was sitting there. She tried to claim I hit her. Cop showed up, I pulled the SD card, and we watched the whole thing. Her face went totally white when she saw her reverse lights come on. The cam saved me from a $500 deductible and probably a rate hike. If you deal with customers all day like I do, you know how people can twist stories. Has anyone else had a cheap piece of gear save them from a bad situation at work?

Saved my bacon" is RIGHT. I read about someone getting scammed at a gas station.

No way she actually tried to deny it even with video evidence? That's wild, some people really think they can just gaslight their way out of anything.
