Capturing the moment

[egleaves_imp]

egleaves, I wonder what happens when law enforcement trawls back through the records of trips and finds evidence that a person was, shall we say, slightly less than compliant with all elements of the traffic code? Is the evidence of the app sufficient to cause one grief?

jodtek, I have used an app called 'Eat, Sleep Ride' which captures a lot of the same stuff as 'Galileo'. They're a bit of a community. See https://eatsleepride.com/ Nowadays I just use a spreadsheet to keep a record of fuel consumption, kilometres travelled, dates, destinations on multi day trips etc. I now have it reasonably well automated so it generates running totals of kms ridden each year and stuff about which I've no idea why I'm interested.

By the way, one interpretation of what it really means if jodytek becomes zerotek may be a tad alarming.

I suppose it could be used against me in court, but only after there was an incident and law enforcement was trying to establish my guilt/innocence. Even then they would need to know the data existed. In short, I got away with it.

Also, I think it's important to not put the data out there to be trawled. I keep it to myself and only share in a situation like this. In hindsight, it may have been wise to redact a portion of that screen grab.
