The DPA of Hamburg imposed a fine of EUR 5,000 on a private individual. The individual had filmed numerous young women in public. Some of the recorded female persons were apparently younger than 14 years. In several cases, the individual approached the filmed persons to within a few centimeters and followed them with the camera for up to 38 minutes. During a search of the backpack, the police officers found a digital camera and eight memory cards. The seized memory cards contained a total of 156 video files. In the course of its investigation, the DPA found that the individual had processed the personal data of the young women he had filmed, although no effective consent had been given.
