Video laws vary from state to state, with some states being ultra strict and some states don't care either way. As I understand and have been explained there is actually no video in motion law in Florida, although if someone decided to get after you and sue in the event of a crash there is potential liability because of the obvious distraction. The TR-7 can be a bit tricky at first, but it's pretty simple once you get the sequence figured out. There is a new TR-7 pro available that lets you program it via PC which is easier.
