Indicator make unrecognizable: legal situation take foreign cars is allowed!

Even if it stinks in many car owners: your car may be photographed and put online to have defaced without the flag. We explain why!

Photographing a foreign car and without to make the flag defaced - in the network? Is allowed! As a car does not have a copyright or a personality right, it can be photographed. Also the owner of the car does not have the right to prohibit photographing his car. Restrictions but may thereby arise, that the photographed car is not accessible - the photographer so on private land is on the way. Question the result, whether the license plate must be made unrecognizable. The answer is: No. Is uncommented so purely objectively as the car and put on the Internet, the owner's rights will not be harmed. That decided the Kassel District Court (case No.: 1 T 75/07). License plates are same by definition no sensitive data, as they are freely accessible and visible to anyone. In addition, that can only police and authorities have access to the data behind the license plate - and therefore the ordinary citizens on the basis of the number plate find out the data of the vehicle owner.
