    In Germany they just always censor shotgun seat with a black rectangle. Precisely because of the same issue, someone’s wife got hold of photo taken by the speed camera, with the husband and another woman on it, the guy sued and won privacy infringement claim.

      I’ve heard about this happening everywhere there are speed cameras for like 2 decades, yet every government doesn’t fix it until they’re sued (or a pollie is caught out with their mistress).
