The use of dash cams is effectively illegal in Austria on privacy grounds: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/152064/are-dash-c...

This is a very foreign concept to me in the US. Even though I do think we have a right to privacy from the government, there's something to be said for allowing private citizens to record whatever they want in public.

hilariously, most dashcams don't have the optical fidelity to read plates consistently anyhow.

And banning the use of dash cams also results in good drivers subsidizing bad drivers.

Supposed to be illegal in Portugal too. But I've been using different dashcams in Portugal for 6 or 7 years now, and nobody's ever commented on them.
