Many have bought a mini video camera in the car to get evidence in the event of accidents, but the State Data Protection Officer has warned of thoughtlessness. Alexander Raungel announced to the German press agency in Visbaden: “Permanent and topical use of dashacams is unfair under the data protection law because it is a significant intervention with right -wing people.”

Furthermore, “Recording of public transport space opposes the principle of proportionality without a specific reason”. On the other hand, according to Jura Professor Runagel, “an event -related and short -ridding is allowed, in which the data is transmitted at small intervals and stored only in a event of an event”. The use of dashes on the dashboard or on the windshield should be “designed in such a way that the rights should be kept in uninterrupted people”.

Adac also states that no one in Germany can be filmed against his will. The traffic club said, “nor is it allowed to put pictures of other people or license plates on the Internet or publish otherwise.” Data Safety Supervisory Officer can impose a fine here. According to ADAC, according to ADAC, a fine could also be threatened if the driver wanted to report misconduct from the police: “Video recording for prosecution is allowed only to the police, and it is only due to narrow boundaries,” Adac says.
Recording Dasakam in Processes
In individual cases, permanent and topical records of a private dacoit can serve as evidence despite the violation of data security in an accident liability process. It was decided by the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) 2018 (Vi ZR 233/17). However, interests and goods should be balanced. Some of these cameras also film with cars parked. They are also available for motorcycles and bicycles. There are also dash cam apps on the cell phone.
Police may ensure recording
Police officers can secure dashashkam recording as evidence if necessary. Ideally, accidents, witnesses or investigation contradictory statements can be clarified with this technique. But data security is also very important here. Hesian Commission Ronagel says: “Investigation is a complex theme using dashashkam recording by the police which includes both criminal procedural and data protection law aspects.” If recording is obtained legally as evidence, they can be used in this way.
