79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. (www.which.co.uk)

in civilized countries consent is required for that

    It's the same in most of Europe afaik. You can't be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.
    It's the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

    Edit: even better, in France (and iirc in Belgium too) I can photograph you as a primary subject without consent, but I cannot reproduce or distribute the picture of you without your consent.
    Look up "Droit à l'image" if you want to know more.
    Edit2: Hungary seems to have laws like I initially described, so taking pictures of videos in public should be okay as long as more than 1 person is visible on it.
