As some say, it's completely daft. Austria have a heavy fine for just
possessing a dashcam but nothing to stop possession of any other camera
and using it to film the scenery. A Garmin is a satnav. Would they
really expect you to open it up and remove the camera?

I would have put some black tape over the lens until I passed into Slovakia.

And that tape has always been there sir? You didn't slip it on as we stopped you? Out of the car, handcuffs on.
