Total bull**** and just a way for the cops to justify them not being filmed. But, there is truth in solvents in paint reacting with some of the resins used.
Andy,
At the risk of going OT, the issue in Victoria was a particular sergeant at a particular station with a hard on for motorcyclists supporting his constables. Two tickets have been issued for helmet mounted cameras with no prosecution to date, even the instructors at Dawson Street have helmet cameras on their private helmets! The tickets were made against the rider having modified the helmet, ie having a protrusion >6mm which is against the helmet AS/NZS1698 which is currently under review since no State legislation in Australia supports a helmet certified to the national standard!
Nothing to do with glue, resin, solvents or anything sensible. Yes, I'm involved as an executive of the Victorian Motorcycle Council
