Any and all video is inadmissible? In criminal and civil court?

Even if it shows someone intentionally hurting someone? Or someone trying to pretend to be hurt or pretend to be a victim and defraud someone else?

I think his statement is based on pre-2018 law. I quickly read up on it, and I understood it as that it can be used in curt. But you are not allowed to permanently record everything. A record buffer that overwrites itself is ok though.

But even as a native German speaker. It's hard to understand what exactly is allowed and what not.

Though I don't know the specifics about dash cams in Germany, evidence proving guilt being inadmissible isn't exactly rare.
