Part 1: common provisions (public bodies, video surveillance, data protection officers) – Germany Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)

Germany Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) s4-1: s 4(1) Video surveillance of publicly accessible spaces only where necessary for a listed purpose

Watching publicly accessible spaces by optical-electronic means (video surveillance) is lawful only to the extent needed for a public body's tasks, for exercising the right to decide who may enter or stay (domestic authority, Hausrecht), or for legitimate interests pursued for concretely specified purposes, and only if nothing indicates that the overriding legitimate interests of those observed prevail. For large publicly accessible facilities (sports grounds, venues for assembly and entertainment, shopping centres, car parks) and for vehicles and large facilities of public rail, ship and bus transport, protecting the life, health and freedom of people present counts as a particularly important interest.
