>>3387852We already had the argument about this in another thread with another idiotic law obsessed Kraut.
Basically as long as you strip the EXIF off your photos or shoot film there's no issue. The law pertains to data collection such as where someone was at a certain time, the EXIF would technically count as data collection on an individual due to the time stamp and possible GPS data. If there's no EXIF or the photo is analogue then you don't need consent from the subject as no data is collected about date/time/location and so it isn't illegal in the slightest as the law is currently. We literally had a 300 reply thread about this and the Kraut conceded defeat.
There's a few interesting articles about the law causing a boom in analog street photography in Germany, it's cool. It isn't illegal, it's just a broad scare tactic like most German law where they get off on being governed in chains.
