In Germany, this would probably end badly for the owner of the car doing the filming in a public space and the vandal would probably walk free with his/ her legal fees getting paid by the owner of the car, if the vandal would caught at all. It is illegal to monitor a public space and violates personality rights. A reasonable judge might perhaps give the owner of the car a hefty fine for violating personal rights and order the vandal to pay for the damage. IANAL. Either way, I don't see it as a winning strategy to film anything in a public space in Germany, it will get you in trouble and will most likely not solve anything. I think vandalism is the kind of thing that cannot be excused in adults. Certainly damaging anybody's car on purpose is something only a complete idiot would do.

It is illegal ? So when are they shutting down all those cameras in Berlin, apparently its the second most surveilled city in Europe after London: https://www.statista.com/chart/19268/most-surveilled-cities-in-europe/ https://www.statista.com/chart/19268/most-surveilled-cities-...

  After they've shut down the police for impersonating the police.

    So these are all police cameras ?

      Either that or people/entities surveiling their own ground.

I do not think that Tesla would be making a gigafactory in Germany if they were to make them disable a primary feature of the car. I could be wrong. I don't know, but I've never heard of anybody bringing up this issue.

The German take on privacy in public spaces is obviously absurd and needs to be adjusted.
