And the camera she said she used if anyone was interested like me.

https://dashcamtalk.com/ is a great resource for dash cam info.
I just purchased the Powerucc Panorama 2s (although it's no longer available from Amazon directly, so no more Prime at the moment) and have been happy thus far. Only real complaint so far is that it's not as easy to take the whole camera out, you have to completely remove the thumb screw and bolt. Some of them have a simple button to press to remove the camera while leaving the mount. So if you live in an area with high crime or you're worried about leaving your camera in your car during hot summers or cold winters, you might want something different. It hasn't negatively impacted me, but it's definitely something that would be a deal breaker for some.
Also, despite being on the middle to upper-middle end of dash cams, I was not super impressed with the video quality, but I do need to spend a moment seeing if there's a problem with mine or there's a setting I should adjust. It's decent, and night videos are surprisingly good, but I was hoping the quality would be more similar to a GoPro. If GoPro made a version designed for cars (with auto start/stop record and overwrite for old videos for continuous recording), I'd be all over that instead.
What I do like about this model is that it supports up to a 256GB SD card, whereas most of the dash cams I looked at support maximum of 32GB SD or microSD cards. Huge storage isn't necessary, since it overwrites in a loop, but it's nice to have if you're a data hoarder like myself.
A LOT of people have been recommending the G1W (also recommended on dashcamtalk.com) because it's only like $50 and is the best bang for your buck, but I wanted something a little higher-end. I figured, like all other electronics, you get what you pay for. Without more experience with different models, I can't say whether that's absolutely true or not, but it generally is. If you go with the G1W, be aware that there are some fakes for sale on Amazon and elsewhere online. I would recommend buying only directly from Amazon themselves, then at least you can return it if it's crap.
I bought a Panorama S for $250USD from Amazon a year ago. Apparently it doesn't ship to Australia anymore. Good for day and night, 30FPS/1080P. Bitrate kind of gets a bit crappy in forests.
I'm sure there's better dashcams out there for the same money now.
http://www.amazon.com/Panorama-updated-PowerUCC-2S-International/dp/B00JFUU5OM verified over 30 hours with 128 card. And it loops unless you hit a button to send a special file to a special folder. So an officer dumping it daily isnt a issue, storage may be, not my problem. Quality is clear enough to identify the color of a dog's collar that jumped out of the box of a moving pickup at 50mph. Closer, even better. Dog was fine. I bought my first one of these to record a record breaking NY to LA run. Now, I have them in 2 vehicles because they are damn nice. I haven't gone for the record yet btw. But it's under 29 hours currently. Quality is definitely good enough for every mile marker and street sign I pass at speed. Up close it's good enough. I even filmed a flower ceremony out on a lake when I was on shore. This should answer some questions about quality and cost for you. And this is just a dash am on the spendy side.
Edit:dumping as in saving the files after an 8 hour shift. Also, not a body cam, but it's an idea of the options. Battery power this lasts 6 hours optionally before it still shuts off so you can start your car. Combine batt tech with this, you should be good on a person.

If you have the budget a Panorama is great
I use this one and couldn't be happier.

Amazing resolution, works at night, holds up to 128GB SD card, video doesn't vibrate over bumps, and the CMOS sensor is outstanding.
I use this for my motorcycle since it will record both front and back:
