Today I learned that you can get fined in Germoney for using a dash cam.
@wy7usa more details... fascinating
Dashcams can be illegal in Germany if they violate privacy laws under the GDPR. Continuous recording or capturing identifiable individuals, license plates, or public areas without consent infringes on personal data protection. Sharing footage online or with third parties without legal justification also breaches regulations. To comply, recordings must be limited, event-triggered, and used only for legal purposes like proving incidents. Misuse can result in fines or legal action.
@wy7usa effectively rendering a dashcam useless
The key is event triggered -- e.g. crash, sudden braking, etc.
@wy7usa which renders them useless for things like neg driving, road rage and all the things that aren't "events" that can be triggered
That is correct. It is not your job to be videoing law offenders. That privilege is reserved for the Politz-Eye.
@wy7usa don't you mean Stazi?
The GHG (Guck-Horch-Greif) is now known as the BND, and their job these days is to prosecute memers.
@wy7usa fuck you can't even post anything against politicians in the Fourth Reich any more... a jailable offence.
