  Not the case in Germany. You just can't post the videos to public places. https://www.dw.com/en/dashcams-in-germany-permissible-in-court-court-rules/a-43788494 https://www.dw.com/en/dashcams-in-germany-permissible-in-cou... Austria is supposedly completely illegal, but unless the police there will stop you for having one, I'd probably risk it. Perhaps courts wouldn't admit it as evidence, but insurance arbitration might, or it might at lease avoid an insurance fight altogether.

    The police in Austria will stop you for having one, and it's a 200+ EUR fine. Showing your footage to an insurance company would make them obligated to report you to the police.

    No, dashcams that constantly take video while driving are illegal in Germany. Just recording, even if you don't publish it. Courts are still allowed to consider such illegally taken footage when considering a case. That's what the article you link to says.

  Most dashcams are for resolving liability with authorities or insurance, not for publication.
