Parking allowed right in front of a speed camera?

There are various methods of flashing. For example, there are stationary and mobile speed cameras, as well as so-called armored speed cameras. These are devices that are housed in a car parked on the side of the road and are very difficult or at least too late to detect. If there is a free parking space behind such a car and you want to use it, the question arises as to whether this is permitted or even constitutes an offense. However, you do not actually have to expect to be fined if you park in such a parking space. Even the Federal Court of Justice has already had to deal with such a case and ruled that parking there is legal in every respect. Even if the speed camera is perhaps blocked as a result. However, the situation is different in cases where people willfully damage or even destroy such speed cameras. In contrast to parking there, smearing or tampering with such devices is even prosecuted under criminal law. So if the city has set up yet another speed camera and drivers fall into the trap, it is advisable to get annoyed in silence. And in the best case scenario, the speed limits are simply adhered to and the annoying incident for the driver does not occur.
