Camera for submitting footage to police

Hi, I should be grateful for recommendations for a camera, to be attached to bike or helmet, for submitting footage to the police. (I have been thinking about it for a while, but on Friday I was struck by an object deliberately thrown at me entirely unprovoked from an oncoming vehicle, so now is the time. I reported that to the police but I'm dependent on whether they can find CCTV footage of the incident.) I have in mind to record close passes and other bad driving to submit to the police. Presumably front and rear cameras would be advisible, fairly light if possible as I want to use it primarily on leisure cycling and be able to swap it between bikes reasonably easily. Thanks in advance.

Currently, the Cycliqs seem to be the most convenient cameras for bike use. Unfortunately, they're expensive, the low light quality is poor and they can have issues with water ingress (especially the rear Fly 6). I'm still waiting on some other manufacturer to come up with a similarly targetted bike camera to give them more competition.

My Cycliq Fly 6 and Fly 12 have paid for themselves and made recovery of damages against 2 drivers very straight forward. Including this one: https://youtu.be/cLF93a5w7ko
