- loa_in_ 2y agoIsn't it that you can't publish your dash cam recordings?
- eqvinox 2y agoIt's a grey area that AFAIK hasn't been conclusively determined; last I checked in Germany you're allowed to have a dash cam as long as it only records/saves on demand (and you're only allowed to exercise that function if you have a reason to, e.g. some accident happened.) Publishing is yet another question and even more tightly restricted. AFAIK (again), in Germany you need to censor all people and car number plates, but then it's OK.
- Semaphor 2y agoThe ADAC (German car club/lobby) has a summary of the current rules and cases [0]. Even giving it to the police can be illegal (though we also don’t have a general fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, which might make it illegal but could still mean the court can use it). It’s all kinda complicated. [0] https://www.adac.de/verkehr/recht/verkehrsvorschriften-deutschland/dashcam/ https://www.adac.de/verkehr/recht/verkehrsvorschriften-deuts...
- vetinari 2y agoTechnically, yes, but that won't stop random cop stopping you and haggling you, when he sees one. The Austrian ones can be pretty arrogant and you don't want to ruin your day for that.
- croes 2y agoThat's no longer true. Dashcams are allowed but they are only allowed to record a certain time period and must overwrite previous recordings so that you only have footage of an accident and not 24 hour surveillance material
