LINK A Tesla's Onboard Camera Captured a Man Accused of Staging a Fall

A man in Louisiana was arrested after claiming he had been injured by a Tesla in a hit-an-run after it was discovered that he staged the incident.

Arthur Bates Jr., 47, called 911 on Friday to report he was "injured after being struck by a Tesla" in a gas station parking lot, the Slidell Police Department said in a statement on Facebook....

...Police tracked down the Tesla driver, who accused Bates of intentionally jumping behind his car and staging his fall and injuries. One of the Tesla's onboard cameras captured the incident. The video shared by Slidell PD appears to show the driver checking on Bates before driving away.

Yeah. However it appears that as onboard cameras becoem more common, the scam will no longer work. Which is pretty good news.
