Well, this guy may indeed be an Attention Whore, and this particular intersection may be better off with a "No Turn On Red" sign (that stop line is WAY back from the intersection), but let's not get into that. There may be very good reasons for using a dash cam for other legit purposes. Check out these scams that were unearthed thanks to dash cams:

These are just the scams. Every once in a while I see commercial vehicles driving like lunatics on the turnpikes and with video documentation one could report the drivers to their employers with evidence. It's bothersome to see a semi truck tailgating a family in a small car while doing 75+ mph! I know that sometimes vehicles don't stay to the right except to pass, but agressive driving of this type can wind up very sadly.
A dash cam may not be a bad idea.....
