Going back to revisit the idea of a camera going into a garbage truck, It could happen. I have a gopro 5 that has remote ability. I can and have used the camera, either mounted someplace or placed somewhere, then viewed and saved the footage to either my cell phone or my computer. There does have to be a reasonably close proximity from phone to camera, but once crushed into a truck it's just going to be dark with sounds anyways. So if you could find a person willing to part with several hundred dollars of their own money to throw their camera into a truck. Well then, there is hope that it could be recorded....
And on another note, I know many of you on here are on Fetlife. Is anyone interested that isnt' on Fetlife in seeing inside compactor videos that I have shot?
