Dash-Cam Gap Triggers Dismissal in Arkansas Sheriff Candidate Shooting Case

An Arkansas judge dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer, a Republican sheriff candidate, after authorities lost a dash-cam memory card that may have contained footage of the October 2024 fatal shooting of Michael Fosler. Spencer says he shot Fosler to protect his daughter from a predator, while prosecutors argued the killing was intentional. The dismissal comes as Spencer advances in the sheriff race, set to face Democrat Brian Mitchell Sr in November.

Ring Car Cam Review: A Disappointing Choice for Vehicle Owners

Ring's Car Cam, which is intended to serve as a dash cam, is virtually useless for most people due to its poor installation process, compatibility issues, and draining of car batteries. The camera plugs into the OBD-II port on the left-hand side of the vehicle, making it incompatible with some cars. Additionally, it is illegal to use in some states due to obstructing the driver's view. The USB port is also on the wrong side, causing the cable to kink and come loose easily.
