DayGlo Queensland Police helmet camera fined witnesses robbed incorrect
Police have been using helmet cameras for years, so why were they not legal for civvies?

Witnesses to a hit-and-run involving a truck and a motorcyclist aged 22 in Logan Village, Queensland, at 8pm on 15 June 2018 are being urged to come forward to police or provide dashcam or helmet-cam evidence.

Truck driver T. McLeod, 24, of Greenbank appeared in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Friday (6 July 2018) charged with one count each of dangerous driving causing death, failing to remain at the scene of a crash and unlicensed driving.

The matter was adjourned to 26 September.

Police are still calling for eyewitnesses or camera evidence. If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24 hours a day.
