Since you can freely buy these cams, they are therefore not prohibited for use in Switzerland, correct?
To my knowledge, no one has yet been fined in Switzerland for the mere presence of a dashcam. However, there are court decisions in which such recordings were explicitly NOT accepted as evidence because they were de facto unlawfully made. This was especially true when the recordings were used to report someone.
In a couple of cases such video recordings helped me with police and insurance - of course without going to a court. I understand storing recorded videos is a particular issue here. Nowadays nobody is guaranteed that there is no filming or processing with car manufacturers equipping their cars with connected/networked or even collision avoidance systems.
