Just because you captured this, doesn't mean he consented to being on video. Talk to a lawyer to understand what the actual law is in your state.

But is HE actually in the video? Silly argument I know. But hey, the video just shows a car going down the road and being driven hard. His face isn't plastered all over the screen.
Granted there have been the unfortunate cases where it being your property has no bearing on such laws, I think I recall some suit where a man who trespassed won some case regarding his being recorded as he had no knowledge of it being done.
Seems as though it would be common sense that if you choose to put yourself in someone else's domain as it were, that you forfeit such rights. Different discussion for a different time though. I'm of the opinion that a camera in a car is no different than a lock on a door, it's there to keep an honest person honest. People have no reason to worry if they're not doing something disrespectful, and if they end up being caught in the act; too bad.
