Legality of DIY video evidence - LHM

I'd posted a while ago about the utility of DIY in-car video recording - maybe the subject heading was not clear (no replies!).

A few of the recent "idiot, camera, crash" programmes have showed footage from privately-installed video recordings - a growing trend in the USA, it would appear.

There must have been times when other backroomers would have welcomed an incident/accident being caught 'on tape' (provided they weren't the guilty partry, of course!).

My question is: would such 'unofficial' video evidence have any weight in either a courtroom or insurance claim setting?

Actually, viewing it like this with highlighted relevant words may be easier...

Yes.
