Are Companies Putting Driver Facing Cameras In Their Trucks?

Hello All, I just got my CDL and have found your website invaluable. Thank everyone for their input/help. Not trying to resurrect any type of debate but I have been studying this camera thing and have a couple of new questions. 1) I have read that the cameras do not start recording until there's a triggering event and if the camera is triggered, it records several seconds PRIOR to the event. How can it provide footage from before it starts recording? It must be constantly recording and perhaps deletes after so many seconds or minutes. Don't know. Just wondering If anyone knows a little more about them. 2) Has anyone been counseled for inappropriate language? 3) Does anyone know if the video has been used in a court of law against a driver in the sad event of a fatal accident. I think they are great for safety and employers definitely have the right to use them but we are all human and in a split second may not handle a vehicle coming at us properly. My wife was a gov't agent and says that a good lawyer would subpoena this video and the side with the best lawyer generally wins. This is my concern in making my decision of who to go with. I've read about the benefits and privacy concerns so don't need to rehash that again. Thanks in advance for your help.
