Simple really, the OBC has a dynamic memory that only saves, say, 5
seconds at a time. When an event, such as an accident occurs, the flow
of information to the OBC stops, therefore it will "store" the last
active 5 seconds and hold it available for download in the event of
the information being required for insurance or legal purposes.
The OBC will not have sufficient memory to record transgressions over
a longer period of time. Of course, Fleet owners make use of a similar
device which can store up to 24 hours or more of information, but they
do it in the interests of their expensive investment of 18-wheelers
and the like, and they do want to know about bad driving habits, etc.

I was thinking the same thing. maybe backs up every couple of
minutes to
give data.
I really do hate the fact that everyone can know you bussiness all
the
time..
