No. Go Pro is a brand and they are for people to take
on their adventures or whatever. I imagine you can
stick one on your dashboard but it's not a dash cam.

gopros are the ones you can put on a bike helmet, or I guess wear it
on your head. I find the video from those gawd awful.

I would think Muslim women wearing them are extremely rare in Oz, they
are here. There are plenty of women in my supermarket wearing
'scarves' but I have never glimpsed a burqa.

frequently comes whining to you about people wanting to talk to her boss.

Yes but it is changing now, though more slowly than I would wish, it
for others to take up the banner now.

I shop early too but there are frequently women there in hijab, they
laugh, joke and carry on just the same way I do - we have a tendency
to do that here in NS. That's how I met my Palestinian friend Esam.
We tended to be there frequently at the same time, eventually sat and
had a coffee together and it progressed from there.

Go-Pro is a brand name.

There are other action cameras on the market, TomTom is one of them.

GoPro is a company that makes small cameras that can be mounted on a surfboard, bike, drone, or almost anywhere. I saw one in a sporting goods store about 5 years ago. It was selling for around a hundred dollars. The GoPro display playing a video was most impressive. I realized that it was going to change everything. It did.
