When using a crosswalk on foot, I always make sure a car is stopped in it’s lane before proceeding to the next lane. Full eye contact. It doesn’t matter that I’m in a crosswalk. I might have been in the right, but that won’t matter if I die.
It’s the same with cycling. Cameras will only help after the fact, and maybe a bit if it’s very visible. But the best thing you can do is not trust any car, and avoid travelling where you have to trust cars.
The idea of much of the criminal justice system is to deter. If the law fails, vigilantes appear. Folks like Luigi Mangione can get quite popular and have supporters.
Legally allowed doesn’t mean a whole lot when it’s 100kg vs 2000kg.
I don’t mean that it’s not a fair point, but is it worth a life?

I suppose carrying a few cameras would help to insure safety.

I don’t think many judges watch owned compilations.
“But your honour, I can’t pay the awards, I can’t even begin to pay it!”
“You can start with the revenue you make from those ‘owned’ videos you posted on YouTube.”
“But YouTube pays me shit!”
“That’s not the court’s problem. You injured the cyclist and destroyed his bike: you pay for it.”
