Sorry, I have not been here for a while.. rather busy with other things. I have seen a number of posts quoting "The reg states a helmet can NOT have anything ATTACHED, to the helmet which protrudes more than 5 mm, This would include the "mohawks", "spikes" "cameras", (not limited to GoPro)."...

Ok, thought I would give an update. Went to court last Monday, and the prosecutor asked if I had disclosure. I said no. Neither did she, so she was going to send it to me. Got a copy a few days later, but basically had nothing other that a list of my previous traffic tickets from 1985 to 2010 -...

Can you please point me to the regulation that states, "The regulation being used to lay these charges is that NOTHING can be affixed to the outer shell surface of a helmet, as this negates the certification of the "smooth outer shell surface." That then renders the helmet non compliant."...

Nothing yet.. my court date is this coming this Monday the 18th at 10:30. I have prepared as much as I can. Read through the Ontario HTA sections related to motorcycle helmets and could find nothing illegal about having a camera on my helmet. Have spoken to a number of other OPP and Durham...

Handlebar mount would be useless for me.. I have a big fairing blocking the handlebars. As for the battery, I installed a USB port on the inner fairing and plug the camera into it.

Well, I now have it back mounted on my windscreen with a giant suction cup.. had it there before, but recently tried the helmet mount. When I compared the video quality, I found it worse on the helmet cause the least little movement of the head from side to side, really makes the video terrible...

Probably the same dyk cop that got me!

Yeah, I actually read that whole thread, including the 5mm protrusion thing, but I believe this is a US regulation/law... I can find no mention of it in Canadian law. Again, back to my initial request - anyone have a link to specific HTA information for helmets in Ontario?

Actually, he didn't until I asked. I asked if it was illegal to have a cam on the helmet of a peddle bike rider, and he said he did not know. Then I asked about my com system that I had installed, and he thought a few seconds, and said he guessed that technically that was illegal too.... didn't...

Yup.. here is my baby: https://www.dropbox.com/s/60afa3kzvgysnh9/FLHTCU.jpg?dl=0

yes.. I had taken the gate off the camera because the battery on these units is the *****.. so I had it plugged directly into a USB port on my fairing dash.. the tape is to cover as much of the hole as possible to avoid rain damage.

Nope.. I had turned the cam off as he approached. And he had no reason to otherwise stop me.. was not speeding and M/C was in good working order.

I was very polite and cooperative, and not speeding.. see my detailed reply to Blackfin.

Happened last week. Just south of Lindsay. Was riding back from Peterborough - not speeding, just a leisurely cruise on my HD ElectraGlide. Had the GoPro on my helmet. Noticed an OPP SUV behind me with flashing lights.. thought he wanted to pass, so I pulled over... but so did he. I got off the...

Good point.. I have to go to court to contest such a ticket But I would still like to see the so called 'regulations' section 104 (1) refers to!

Thanks for taking the time to reply... I have seen this many times, and it is posted in the forum in several locations... but... it does not answer my specific questions.

Can someone please point me to the actual text of the helmet laws? What I have found online is this: 104. (1) No person shall ride on or operate a motorcycle or motor assisted bicycle on a highway unless the person is wearing a helmet that complies with the regulations and the chin strap of...
