Garages and dashcams

[marinabrian]

Dashcam? don't get me started on these infernal devices, anyone who feels the need to fit one to their car, should have their car removed from their possession and crushed.

Another complete and utter invasion of privacy that should not be welcomed, a bit like surveillance CCTV, but without warning

Bravo to the garage technician that disconnected it, it is not a security device, it is a surveillance device, and that is that.

Here's a curveball.

I should think most garages have CCTV.....I bet any money you like they won't switch that off whilst you are being recorded though?

Probably Jeff, the difference is they are required by law to inform you of the fact, unlike the car owner recording willy nilly while driving, or parked it makes not a jot of difference.

Both garage and car owner are perpetuating the myth that recording life in minutiae, makes the world a safer place......what utter rot

I would ask that this thread be closed

As requested, thread closed.
