I'm wondering if the 12V sockets and/or USB ports for charging phones and such keep pulling power after the car is shut off. I'm thinking about getting a dashcam, but I don't want it to be pulling power from the batteries when the car is off.

I've noticed that mine (the two in the front) are disconnected from power when the car is off. I haven't checked the rear port.
 
There are Battery Discharge Preventer devices that can be used so that a dashcam won't drain your car battery.
