Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough - S2-E7
Visible crew/equipment: When the General Lee makes a great jump (in fact the jump is used in the opening credits of the show starting in season 2), you can see a camera hooked to the bottom of the car on the passenger's side.
Visible crew/equipment: After the Cooter/Enos crash, the camera goes to Daisy. As she drives, the camera is behind and above the front seats. The shadow of the camera rig is very visible in the shot.
Visible crew/equipment: As the General Lee goes past the camera position to pass a sign marked "Colonial City", you see the shadow of the camera and crew along with the shadow of the tree behind the camera.
Visible crew/equipment: When Daisy is being chased by Lester, the camera goes into a wide shot when they are on a long curve. As Daisy passes a last bush, you see the shadow of the camera and crewman.
Visible crew/equipment: When Bo gets out of the cab of the tow truck, you can see the lighting equipment of the camera car reflected on the housing of the top-mounted brake lights.
Answer: Various reasons, but mainly to drive the Dukes out of Hazzard County because the family have been foiling his schemes since his and Uncle Jesse's bootlegging days.
