My cameras are connected to my car via USB but was lucky my grandson found away to hide all the wiring and as the USB connection is in a cubby hole with a cover over it, when closed you can’t see a thing and easy to remove again when the time comes.
I know about the hard wiring rules that Motability have but guess what was said when someone rear ended me when the car was two months old, yes you guessed it, “do you have any dash cam footage”. As it was I hadn’t had the time to fit the cameras thought they went in when the car came back from the repairers but it seems like RSA encourage the cameras but Motability discourage you.
Going back to the question of “some people are nasty” in the 13 years I’ve been disabled I can only recall one time of being abused if want of a better word and that was parking on double yellows outside some ones house and they took offence.
That said the paintwork keying thing is more to do with the eco-warriors IMO we have these days who have been brainwashed into believing your destroying the World in your car and of course its the disabled person free cars that the Daily Fail like to talk about doesn’t help things in our cases.
