I was asked by a neighbour today if I minded him putting up surveillance cameras on his property that would also cover my front door and access to it and to the yard at the back. I said that far from being bothered, I would be absolutely delighted.
However, it did set me to thinking about the regulations covering such CCTV camera systems. I had a look online and found this (https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...stic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property) which seems to suggest that one should be very careful about intruding on the privacy of others, including those passing up and down the street or in any public area.
Knowing that people increasingly use mobile phones to record activity on public property (e.g. Stop and Search, "Auditing" Tottenham Police Station) I am curious as to what rules apply to private CCTV monitoring systems and how effectively such rules are enforced?
