I believe some court ruled that using a dashcam violated GDPR since it was recording people’s “identifiable information” without their consent

- totalperspectiv 7y agoI wonder how this will interact with self driving cars and all their always on, always recording cameras.
- suprfnk 7y agoDo self driving cars actually record things? As in, store the video? It seems to me they can just process the incoming videostream without storing it, right?
- bmurphy1976 7y agoYes and they upload to the cloud and a lot of vandals have been caught this way.
- dvlsg 7y agoOr even just regular cameras. If I take a picture of something unrelated, and the background happens to contain a license plate on a car, or the face of a person walking by, am I at risk for recording a person's identifiable information?
- martin_a 7y agoNo. The so called "Freedom of panorama" [1] will protect you from such things. As long as the license plate is not the main aspect of the image, you should be fine. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama
- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoThe case here is Austria where local privacy laws disallow any use of CCTV/Dashcams unless they only film private property. Exceptions to this require a permit. This in itself independent of GDPR but the same agency is tasked with enforcing it and some of the laws overlap now.
