We had a guy here with a rear view camera ... Cops gave him a ticket and made him remove it .. Funny a lot of cars come with them factory but the cops give a guy with a bike a ticket for having one ..

Florida has a law for that on a bike??? Google that Law and see how or what was written on the ticket...explaination for what law was broken. I guess they are worried you will be looking at the screen and Not the road???

i can see that being the problem. cops think its a tv with movies showing. if i get pulled over ill just show him. no movies here. just like cars. if they have a tv in the front it cannot be visible from the driver seat. if it is it would have to be off while driving. cops in my area are more worried about having a license for motorcycles and insurance.

i used to ride with 2 bullet mohawks on my helmet totalling to 20 real bullets. mind you i removed the powder. cops never said anything. i got pulled over 6 times and all of them were to admire my helmet and then they would tell my what they rode

Let's see how unimportant it is to not see what's behind you if those blueberries are flashing! Tv's are not to be watched while riding! They are to give a visual of what's behind you, just as mirrors do! "READ, THINK AND THEN, MAYBE SPEAK" Mr. Ricky Bell

Funny stuff here!!! ....I like my mirrors...they go nicely with the bike's 'image'...to me.The ability to see those 'bluberries'...ya...it IS important.even if they're WAY back there.Best to pull over and stop or whatever than have em assume yer runnin.That being said,sitting at a stoplight....behind anyone...I'm not so sure I could react quick enough to slip away from a cage bearing down on me in time.I think I'd most likely TRY to put the kickstand down and bail if possible.My luck,I'd pop the clutch tryin to get outta there,stall my bike..and get nailed anyway!o(

I setup a remote camera on my bandit 12 fighter. I had a 5" screen and it was not adequate as a mirror replacement. For some reason you can't just glance at the screen and get the info you expect. I ended up staring at the screen for several moments, which is not good while moving forward. I ended up putting bar end mirrors on in addition to the screen. After about a month I removed the screen and camera because the mirrors just did a better job.
