That's just beggin' for an accident and lawsuit against the manufacturer for creating a situation that is unsafe.

Don't think it would be legal here in Australia, as laws state that video screens that are in the drivers view must deactivate at speeds on more that 5kph.

I wonder if Police can use it for evidence to prove that a rider broke the law???

Great for using against the rider in a court of law! That is just a stupid device to use on a motorcycle. Oh well, at least you can get the tag of the bus that has just plowed you over!
