Cyclists

Yes, context is everything. Driving 279 km/h is illegal on Irish roads, cycling 40 km/h is not.

Context is indeed everything. Driving at 30km/h is not illegal. However driving at 30 Km/h may be deemed “careless” or even “dangerous” in the context of where it took place in terms of road conditions, presence of pedestrians, etc, in the same way cyclists can be fined for driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.

From the rules of the road:

Gardaí can fine cyclists for the following offences:

  • No front or rear light during lighting-up hours
  • Riding a bicycle without reasonable consideration
Context, dear boy, is everything.

Well done on posting the obvious ?
 
The key words there are 'could'. GDPR is loose in their terms.

Anyway, it doesn't state categorically that one cannot publish videos online of incidents that happen in public, especially when people are not identified.

If one wants to be extra cautious, blurring out their face will make it 100% legit.

Doubtful that blurring out their face will be sufficient if you are still publishing their car registration from which they are easily identified.

See when Google Maps do the street-view and they pixilate peoples' faces - they also blur the license plates.

Of course that wouldn't suit your perma-outraged agenda.
