I got a mount identical to this (mine was Apeman brand but no longer on Amazon) and it’s worked very well. Mine wasn’t out of legal concerns but because of a suction cup that fell regularly, so I don’t know if this complies.
Not OP, but it looks like they have a Garmin. Personally I used a mount like this and have been happy with it (the specific one I bought is no longer available). They come with replaceable connectors compatible with a variety of brands.
Has anyone found any compatible Mount Rear View Mirror Holder for the garmin dashcam; specifically the 55?
im looking for something similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Cam-Mount-Holder-Different/dp/B07DNB2V8G/ref=sr\_1\_6?dchild=1&keywords=Universal+Dash+Cam+Mount+Rear+View+Mirror+Holder&qid=1622727448&s=electronics&sr=1-6
that can attach a garmin dashcam onto a mount that attaches to the rear view mirror instead of an adhesive/suction cup onto the windshield.
They make mounts that anchor to the stalk behind the rear-view mirror. Avoid the ticket risk, and keep your mirror!
I recommend a rear view mirror mount. I use this one Dash Cam Mount Holder - Mirror... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNB2V8G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
2 years ago I bought an Apeman C420. Works okay, but lacks resolution for reading license plates at distance. Best feature: $40 amazon sale price. Also $10 microSD card and $8 mounting kit.
Decide what features you want, then research best dashcams. Much better products nowadays... more expensive but I'll probably replace mine bargain-hunting after xmas.
Installation decisions: Where to mount and how to power it. I decided for mirror mount and 12V power plug... included long power cable installed along headliner & trim (avoid the airbag)... automatically powers ON with ignition on my 2019 CRV EX.
