    Some jurisdictions have adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws that prohibit objects from being mounted on a vehicle’s windshield. For example, California, Minnesota, New Jersey and Florida currently prohibit or limit the mounting of objects, including DriveCam event recorders, on windshields. You are responsible for complying with any such laws, and DriveCam does not accept responsibility for your failure to do so.
