Associated Press affiliate KTAR-FM reports [ktar.com]
[...]after 25-year-old Xavier Moran was involved in a crash on April 5, he told a sheriff's deputy he had been cut off by another driver and could prove it with his dashboard camera. He then signed a consent waiver to search the camera.
When the Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy reviewed the footage, he saw Moran burglarizing a beauty store. Authorities say the video showed Moran taking a baseball bat from the trunk and someone using the bat to break the glass door to the store.
He was arrested [April 10] on burglary charges.
Boing Boing further reports [archive.org] that the guy just can't stay out of trouble.
I first heard the story [wsncradio.org] via NPR's "news" quiz show "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me".
