Speed Checks from the Air: When Is Drone Footage Admissible as Evidence?

Drones can be used to document traffic offences and, under certain conditions, enable retrospective speed calculations. Whether such footage may be admitted as evidence depends on the technical reliability and traceability of the evaluation, as well as the lawfulness of the drone operation.
An employee’s move to a competitor can be delicate for a company, particularly where long-standing client relationships, confidential information or specialised know-how are involved. Legally, however, a clear principle applies: after the employment relationship has ended, former employees are in principle free to compete with their former employer. Restrictions are permissible only under certain conditions.
Dashcam footage can help document road accidents and dangerous driving manoeuvres. At the same time, it captures other road users and may therefore infringe their privacy. Whether such footage may be used as evidence in court depends on whether it was lawfully recorded and on the rules applicable to the relevant proceedings.
