Guest RICHL Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If CCTV images are recorded in a public car park and someone's car gets bashed, can you insist on a copy of the recording? Asking for a mate, just had his car bashed and the woman left fake details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If you have reasonable grounds to believe that you may be on the footage then you can get a copy and pay a maximum admin charge of Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Paul Main Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 No, generally speaking, you can't. Public CCTV operators do not operate schemes for your personal benefit. You can only demand to see footage if you consider that it has been recorded in such a way as to infringe on your human rights. The operator would then consider your requiest, and if felt reasonable, could show tou a recording (max Paul Main ClearView Communications Ltd Robjohns Road Chelmsford Essex CM1 3AG Telephone: 01245 214104 Fax: 01245 214101 paul.main@clearview-communications.com www.clearview-communications.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Jon Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 My best guess is there may be two answers to this question. Knowing the time that the car was left and returned to, there is absolutely no reason why a data subject should not make a resonable request for access, to view their personal data recorded between those times. That said, there is indeed no guarantee that the LA (or whoever the data controller is) will accede to the request. On the other hand, a criminal act in the form of criminal damage has been committed, so a complaint to the Police with the details and times, should allow them to request access to the recordings as part of a criminal investigation. If the data controller refuses access, there is nothing to prevent a formal complaint to the Office of the Information Commissioner, but again the outcome is not assured.
