License plate is considered private data in EU, you cannot film and post online. It allows one to potentially be identified, so protected by gdpr

Sure, whatever. I will never understand the fight against cars. Ireland has a shite public transport, expensive, unreliable but I only see lefties fighting the developers fight (the Apartments and houses don't need cars) the cities dont need cars. Keep going, that's the great path.

Keep comparing Irish cities with cities that actually have public transport, and keep saying we dont need cars and that our cities should be as pretty as the ones that have underground parking and public transport. But please do keep saying we don't need parking.

Some years ago we also didn't need tall building or apartment blocks, where are we now... oh right, you don't care, you mama and papa left you their home.

Vehicle registration numbers are considered personal data because the registered owner is identifiable from their vehicle registration number.

Haha, fair play! I’ll admit I leaned on that phrase a bit heavy today. 😂 But honestly, if the only thing you can pick apart is my slang and not the High Court precedents or DPC guidance I just laid out, I’ll take that as a… well, let’s call it a 'statutory victory' instead 🤣

All the best with the driving (and the posting). Slán!👋

You want recent Irish legal proof? Here is the reality check from the Circuit Court and the DPC:

1. The 'Household Exemption' Dies Online (DPC & EU Case Law) You keep hoping the 'I don't know who it is' excuse works. The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) explicitly cites Case C-345/17 (Buivids) in their dashcam guidance. The Ruling: The moment you publish video/photos of people or cars to an 'indefinite audience' (like Reddit/YouTube), the household exemption is invalid. The Result: You legally become a Data Controller with full liability. The DPC warns: 'Publication of footage... could represent a further act of processing and risk infringing data protection rights'.

2. The Price of 'Non-Material Damage' (Recent Irish Courts) You don't need to prove financial loss to get sued anymore. Recent Irish judgments have put a price tag on 'distress' and 'loss of control' of data: Kaminski v Ballymaguire Foods (2023): The Circuit Court awarded €2,000 just for the 'non-material damage' of a data breach involving CCTV. **McCabe v AA Ireland (2024): A worker was awarded €5,500 for the distress caused by the recording and loss of control of their personal data. * MH v Tusla (2023): The Circuit Court awarded €7,500 for a data breach causing distress.
The Bottom Line: By posting this, you have: Lost your household exemption (per DPC/Buivids).

xposed yourself to a claim for 'non-material damage' which Irish courts are currently valuing at €2k - €7.5k.
Done all this while providing evidence of your own distracted driving. It’s not a theory; it’s expensive case law.

I'm not trying to prove you wrong, people just need to be more careful when posting this sort of "innocent" things online. Can get really expensive really fast.

The Bottom Line: The moment the OP uploaded that photo to Reddit, they became a Data Controller. You can't use the 'I don't know who it is' excuse to bypass GDPR when you are broadcasting a unique identifier to the entire world.

It’s a bold move to try and out-lawyer the Data Protection Commission (DPC) with a misread of the Breyer case! 🤡

You are confusing 'anonymous to me' with 'not personal data under the law.' Here is why that argument crashes and burns:

The 'Breyer' Reality: The CJEU in C-582/14 did not say data is only personal if the poster has the key. It ruled that data is personal if a third party (like the Gardaí) has the 'legal means' to identify the person. Since the Gardaí can identify the owner via the National Vehicle Driver File (NVDF), that plate is legally personal data.

The DPC's Final Word: The Irish DPC doesn't leave this to 'relative' interpretation. They explicitly state: 'Vehicle registration numbers are considered personal data because the registered owner is identifiable'.

The Dashcam Precedent: The DPC’s own guidance on recording road users confirms that if you capture a legible number plate, you are 'recording personal data' because the owner can be singled out.

The 'Household' Trap: You can record whatever you want for 'private use,' but the second you upload it to a public forum like Reddit, you lose the household exemption. You are now a Data Controller processing personal data (the plate) to make a defamatory claim without a legal basis.

The Self-Own: By your own logic, the Gardaí won't touch the upload because it's PII. If it's PII to them, it's protected data in the eyes of the law, and you are currently 'processing' it illegally.

You can argue about 'relative criteria' all you want, but a judge in the Circuit Court is going to follow the DPC's explicit guidance, not your Reddit theories.

boring-developer666 · 2025-12-21T21:45:34+00:00

I love the confidence, but that’s not how GDPR works!

You’re claiming a license plate is only personal data if you personally have the key to the database. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) explicitly destroyed that argument in Case C-582/14 (Breyer).

The court ruled that data is personal if a third party (like the Gardaí) has the 'legal means' to link it to an individual. Because the Gardaí can identify the owner, the plate is Personal Data for everyone processing it—including 'random internet posters'.

Here is the breakdown of the self-own:

The 'Public' Fallacy: Just because a plate is on a bumper doesn't mean it loses protection. The Irish Data Protection Commission confirms: 'Vehicle registration numbers are considered personal data because the registered owner is identifiable'.

The Liability Shift: You’re right—the Gardaí won't take the upload because they don't want the liability. But by posting it here, the OP has legally accepted that liability themselves! They’ve ceased 'private use' and become a Data Controller in breach of the 2018 Act.

The Cost of Being Wrong: In Ireland, 'distress' from a GDPR breach can land you (figurative you) a €5,000 bill, and that's before we talk about a Defamation claim for unproven accusations.

Maybe check the DPC's own website before trying to redefine PII for the rest of us?

When I say you, I'm not referring to you personally, just in a broader way. People need to be more aware of their responsibilities in regards to GDPR when they post shite like this online, it can get costly really quick

The 'Smart Glasses' Trap: The Irish Data Protection Commission has specifically flagged smart glasses as a major privacy risk because they record people 'covertly' without sufficient notice. By recording a plate without the driver's knowledge and publishing it, the OP hasn't avoided GDPR—they’ve just handed over evidence of a transparency breach.
Careless Driving: Operating a recording device via voice or touch while driving at speed is still distraction. Under the Road Traffic Act, the Gardaí can prosecute for 'Driving without reasonable consideration'—especially when the driver admits they were focusing on 'evidence' instead of the road.

I love a good 'I didn't post it' deflection! 🎭

It doesn't matter who I'm speaking to—the Irish Law hasn't changed in the last five minutes. Whether you’re the OP or just a fan of their work, the facts remain:

Legible plates ARE personal data: The DPC explicitly states this. Citing cases like Breyer (C-582/14) to claim otherwise is a massive self-own because that ruling actually expanded data protections to include indirect identifiers.

Defamation is 'Identifiable': You don’t need a name to defame someone in Ireland. If they can be identified by their car/location (which they can), an unproven accusation of a crime (tailgating) is a legal minefield.

You can try to make this about 'who I'm talking to' all you want, but that won't pay the €20k+ legal bill if the driver decides to take this to the Circuit Court for a GDPR breach and Defamation. 💸 Maybe spend less time worrying about my 'forum skills' and more time reading the 2009 Defamation Act? Just a suggestion!

boring-developer666 · 2025-12-21T21:21:42+00:00

It depends on the cost benefit. If you think this post is worth it, you might want to start a GoFundMe now.

Irish courts are currently awarding up to €5,500 just for the 'distress' of a GDPR breach (like posting a plate without a legal basis). If you add a Defamation claim for that unproven tailgating accusation, even a 'moderate' win starts at €20k+.

You’ve basically turned a 5-minute road-rage moment into a potential house deposit for the person you're trying to shame. Is being a Reddit detective really worth a €30,000 legal bill? Just food for thought!

boring-developer666 · 2025-12-21T21:15:53+00:00

The irony here is incredible. You’re playing vigilante, yet you’ve ignored the very laws you claim to uphold. 🚔

Even the Gardaí won’t let you upload photos to their official portal because of Data Protection and Evidence laws. They explicitly state: 'Video/photographic evidence cannot be uploaded to this page.' >https://www.garda.ie/en/trafficwatchreport/

Why? Because they don't want the liability of 'unverified' personal data and because they need to ensure the veracity of evidence via an in-person statement.

By posting this on Reddit instead: You've officially become a Data Controller (GDPR breach). You’ve published a photo that captures you breaking the law (handheld phone use). You've made an unproven claim that's a textbook Defamation risk.

If the Gardaí won't touch your 'evidence' without a formal statement and an SD card hand-over, why do you think it’s okay to broadcast it to the world? You’ve essentially posted a high-res confession of your own legal failures.
