§ 18 LDSG BW
Video surveillance of publicly accessible spaces
(1)The observation of publicly accessible spaces by means of optical-electronic devices (video surveillance) and the processing of the personal data thereby collected shall be lawful insofar as this is necessary, in the context of the performance of public tasks or in the exercise of the right of domiciliary authority, in the individual case, 1. to protect the life, health, freedom or property of persons in public facilities, public transport, official buildings or other structural facilities of public bodies, or in their immediate vicinity, or 2. to protect cultural assets, public facilities, public transport, official buildings or other structural facilities of public bodies, as well as property located there or in their immediate vicinity, and there are no indications that the legitimate interests of the data subjects outweigh the interest in processing.
(2)The video surveillance shall be made recognisable by appropriate measures at the earliest possible point in time; the controller shall be identified.
(3)The data may only be further processed for another purpose insofar as this is necessary for the prevention of threats to public security or for the prosecution of administrative offences of significant importance or criminal offences.
(4)Where data collected by video surveillance are attributed to a specific person, the duty to inform the data subject about this processing pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 shall apply. Section 8 shall apply accordingly.
(5)Video recordings and documents produced from them or relating to the video surveillance shall be erased without undue delay, and no later than four weeks after the data collection, unless they are needed for the prosecution of administrative offences of significant importance or criminal offences, or for the assertion of legal claims.
(6)Without prejudice to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, public bodies shall notify their respective data protection officer in good time before the first deployment of a video surveillance system of the purpose, the spatial extent and the duration of the video surveillance, the affected group of persons, the measures pursuant to paragraph 2 and the intended evaluations, and shall give the data protection officer the opportunity to comment. zur Einzelansicht § 18
