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

That just means the footage would go on cyclists/protestors getting owned compilations.
The real answer is to have your own vehicles blocking other traffic while the cyclists do their protest… and to be armed.
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.”
Gotta survive to get your day in court.
You better survive if the defendant knows what’s good for wt:thon.
Thon might be facing a number of charges.
