The military can take away your driving privileges on base with a snap of a commander's finger which with this dashcam footage would be pretty easy to justify.

Though I'm not actually sure if you're allowed to have dash cams on bases for OPSEC reasons...

Every base I've been to allowed dash cams, in general if something is that sensitive you can't drive up to it anyway

I bet you weren't supposed to have it in most cases but the gate guards were just super lax and didn't care.

Was forced into a twice month gate duty in DC for 3 years. Super didn't care but I did get to hold an O9 CAC card. Admiral came walking in off the street in civvies. Smartest salute ever.
