I guess that plod can access this data for even such minor issues as speeding
I thought you had to either hand it over to them (a stern look tends to cause this apparently) or they need a warrant if they believe it can be used in evidence.
If you have a dashcam you can always swallow the SD card however do remember that this may not actually wipe it depending on your constitution.
Its also a good reason to buy a modern one with a micro-SD as it is a lot smaller and transits the system more easily apparently.....
