I know they are banned in Austria as I was going to pass through this year and was warned that there were heavy fines for using one - Garmin Nuvicam. At least you were warned. Nobody warned me radar detectors were illegal in France! I think no law should apply to a tourist unless there's a big sign for you to read at the port telling you the key differences as you cross the border. |

I know they are banned in Austria as I was going to pass through this year and was warned that there were heavy fines for using one - Garmin Nuvicam. 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? Well apparently in France a satnav is illegal if it has speed trap warnings (which cannot be removed from some models). But according to satnav manufacturers, as long as they're called "dangerous road warnings" or similar, the law is so OCD that you get away with it. |

Not sure what you mean by that, your response is ambiguous - did you mean they shouldn't or can't interfere? But the EU likes to make all laws the same in every country. |

You didn't slip it on as we stopped you? Out of the car, handcuffs on. |

How available? Youtube, etc. What if someone stole my car? I expect the answer is - tough. |

It makes directives that individual countries have to turn into law - which usually end up containing peculiar local embellishments. |
