If you have that as an established protocol and can prove you do it regularly...that can hold up...if you can reasonably claim you didn't know it was likely to be evidence in a case.
Used to work for a state DOT and they didn't want to get caught up in every fender bender with requests for video, so they had a protocol for deleting video...of course the operators in charge of the deletion didn't watch it, so unless something big happened and they were specifically requested to save the video, they could reasonably claim they had no knowledge and were following protocol.
Of course, as an individual, if you do it after there is obvious evidence subject to a trial, you will still be found to have tampered with evidence.
my camera periodically notifies me that it should be reformatted. just following instructions. put a small SD card in to rush things.
reminds me of years back, one fella at work was warned to not have lunch with a specific person/firm. seems he did schedule a meeting and recorded it on his desk calendar. when they started checking this out, he ripped out the page and threw it away. they did the old rubbing a pencil lead across the next page and sure enough the appointment was visible. :)
