How does this affect the police in Germany and their ability to record / photograph? What about security cameras, or doorbell cameras - are they illegal, or is consent applied by someone approaching them?
- biscuit1v9 2y agoI'm assuming it's the main role that they have: they can get your data and record/photograph you for evidence of commiting something(steal, murder, etc.) Also: AFAIK, they can't access the records unless it's requested from someone or if there is a case and the records would help solve the case.
- em-bee 2y agoany cameras on your property must not reach areas beyond property borders. so doorbell cameras would have to be above the door facing down or be mounted on the side facing the door if you do not have a sufficiently large front yard.
- Mashimo 2y agoIn addition to what the other person said, I think it's legal to watch a camera live that goes beyond property borders. But you can't record that while not watching live .. or something like that. Just like you could look out of your windows, but you could not watch out of your window 24/7 :D
- ukd1 2y agoInteresting; is that the same for banks / building security? That sounds like it disallows dash cams too? edit: did some digging on dash-cams, seems like they're legal if they're recording on a loop, and save permanently with some user-interaction. Security cameras must have signs, and not cover outside your property. Storage is (suggested? allowed?) for 24-48 hours. You can request footage of yourself from anyone (even private?), but they have 1 month to reply to a request - so seems practically pointless given the recording storage length.
