    that’s fine, if you only use it on private roads. but if not, you are recording plenty of people (even not counting drivers) who did not consent to being recorded.
    then who knows what happens with the recordings. and that’s the actual problem.

    too bad its not enforced.

      Speaking as someone from the US, consent is not required to record someone in public.

      “There is no responsible expectation of privacy while in public.”

      If you don’t want to be recorded by people at random, stay home.

          It’s the same in most of Europe afaik. You can’t be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.
          It’s the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

          Edit: even better, in France (and iirc in Belgium too) I can photograph you as a primary subject without consent, but I cannot reproduce or distribute the picture of you without your consent.
          Look up “Droit à l’image” if you want to know more.
          Edit2: Hungary seems to have laws like I initially described, so taking pictures of videos in public should be okay as long as more than 1 person is visible on it.
