Not necessarily true. I have one I bought from Amazon for $20 back in may of last year. Still works just fine, and I use my extensively just about every day, including in 110+ degree Phoenix heat (140+ inside the car during the summer day).
I have had to replace the microSD card, however, but that is because I bought a cheap one. The replacement card was a "High Endurance" card, which is really a must for the kind of constant write cycle a dash-cam uses. Also, the bigger the card is, the less often a particular chunk gets written to, which equals longer life.

I drive respectfully and responsibly, and maintain constant situational awareness while I'm driving. There is nothing that my camera could catch that could be "used against me".
