Anticipating this decision, we some days ago acquired an automobile dashcom 4K camera outfit.
As reported in the news,
Dashcam footage is to be permitted as evidence in German courts. Xinhua.net writes:
"The Federal Constitutional Court in Germany ruled on Tuesday that video footage captured by cameras attached to vehicle dashboards will henceforth be permitted as a
potential form of legal evidence in traffic accidents in Germany."

What is still NOT legally permitted is "continuous" viz. "endless" dashcam video footage, which is regarded by existing law to be a privacy invasion. Accordingly, permissible dashcam cameras will surely have to have some kind of automatic controls that limit the length of actual dashcam filming for any given video sequence.
As a practical matter, of course, this decision will definitely lead to an increase in dashcam sales.
