The police deal with the criminal law of harassment. Your extract from the LC relates to a tort of harassment, which is civil law. The two are separate.

You are right, solicitors say the police are In trouble over wrongful arrest or arrest without probable cause. The thing is getting common sense to prevail over the harassment warning.
How would this read in court?
Police ask me to speak to other party only via my solicitor. I decline, saying if they do not want direct, please provide the name of your solicitor. They then emailed me agreeing I could phone or email them.
I sent Police a copy of email so they know where we stand.
Police then turn up to arrest me possibly because they read an old allegation without looking at the date.
When I was arrested I offered them the opportunity to look at it, they refused.
You could not make it up could you?0 -
1. Harassment: Your best option. Contact Council and the Police!
2. Human Rights: Your second best option. You have the right to enter your home without being filmed. Of course any legal action will cost you!
3. Data Protection: This does not apply to homes at all! forget it 100%.
4. Nuisance: Possible! As you said it will cost you!0 -
The normal advice would have been to write to the neighbour asking them to move the camera (and take photos of the camera positioning as evidence of possible harrassment).
Then if not moved, ask the court for an injunction ordering it, one one of the three grounds discussed. I'm sure a good lawyer would be able to tell you which is the best option right away (as it's really a procedural question).
But with the police arrest etc... it's well beyond our competence I would guess.
Hope it works out for you. Please keep us updated if you can.0
