The sign of ignorance is believe in something irrespective of fact.

 

Your making yourself look daft. Know when to stop.

Just to jump in here.. The police where wrong?

The sign of ignorance is belief/ believe etc etc?

 

If your going to rip someone to pieces who is simply trying to help by putting his piece forward then please do so in a manner that makes you come across far more intelligent than you actually seem to be.

Cyclone too your just as bad.

Trolls.

I specifically explained that CCTV can cover public property if it's incidental to the main purpose and that if it's deliberate it needs to comply with the DPA.

What more could I do apart from allow the misinformation to persist?

cool, let me know how it is and how much would you charge me for putting this or a similar system up?

[Olive 10]

Suddenly he becomes like a puppy lol.

 

Adults also know how to have decent civilised discussion !

 

Im not wrong if anyones wrong its the police and they are not totally wrong ie human rights etc !

 

Looks like they were talking about this bit (from Mafya's link) - so everyone's right in a way.

 

 

When you could be Breaking the Law for Having CCTV at Home

While home installation of CCTV does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Data Protection Act, if the home installation has not been carried out correctly or is being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed, then you may have a case for taking further action under totally different laws.

For example, if you have a camera which is pointed directly at another person’s property or it’s suspected that it can capture part or all of a neighbour’s property, they might have a case to take action against you under legislation covered by the Human Rights Act. They might have sufficient grounds to say that they have had their privacy violated, that your CCTV system is tantamount to harassment and even voyeurism.

 

In such cases, they can get the police involved if you're not able to come to some agreement with regards to what the camera(s) can capture and to make modifications to the installation, if necessary.

[Cyclone 10]

Surely any dispute under the right to privacy would require a private prosecution (ie to sue).

either way, the original claim that was being disputed was not specifically about viewing onto private property, this was the claim

 

It is illegal to have cameras viewing off of your property

 

That statement is incorrect.

 

The DPA

The Laws Relating to CCTV

The main laws governing the installation and use of CCTV is covered by the Data Protection Act 1998, but this only applies to businesses and organisations and NOT to domestic property. It’s crucial that people recognise that distinction.

Does NOT apply to private use of CCTV.

If your security camera films anyone else's property, then you are committing an offence....so be careful where you aim them!
