Bait Car Videos and Creative Commons Footage

Amazing free footage is out and available everywhere now, if you know where to look. The Creative Commons can point you toward sites like Baitcar.com, which features videos of car thieves under an Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license. If you want to work public video into a commercial project, you'll need footage with a different license. Yahoo!'s Creative Commons search can help you find it.

This website, for example, has an Attribution-ShareAlike license. That means the recent buffalo video is free to use for commercial or derivative works. Not that the resolution is optimal. But you get the idea.
