Same in Germany. The same applies to nonfunctional camera dummy bodies because you can swap them to be an actual camera without anyone noticing anytime. And I am really glad that it is regulated like this.

    Interesting, I know we had a case a couple of years back, where a non functional camera was deemed illegal, because as you say people can't tell the difference.
    This camera was set up however for the specific purpose of making it look like a public space was surveilled, but I guess it would work as precedence for the same as you describe.
