You may have as many cams as you like installed, in fact.

1) PM me, I have one NIB you can have cheap...Will send pics/links etc.
2) No, as long as you don't use it for any commercial purpose or post the content publically. Most peeps recommend posting a sign anyway...as a deterrent and a CYA.

DA to defendant, "So let me understand this Mr. Asshat, You admit seeing the recording notice, and yet you still did the stupid/illegal thing that got you charged with felony assault, is that correct? Ok, nothing further your Honor".

Partially untrue - you may at any point publish the dash video online- even live, and you may in fact profit from it if you choose - there is NO Illinois law preventing that.

That said, IF you choose to publish online live or later, and you did NOT have the rider/s sign a waiver, you WILL be liable for paying appearance fees to those riders at some later date TBD if they choose to make a claim!

You cant just put up a sign that reads "This vehicle is for public transportation and as such contains no expectation of privacy, therefore no consent is required and at least one camera with audio is on and transmitting live at all times. You waive all rights to monetary claims of you or your likeness being broadcast now or in the future."

The first sentence covers you, legally. In Illinois. The second, In the U.S. any state, you dont have a leg to stand on with out a signed or on-camera waiver statement made!
