Neighbour has just put up a security camera!

Maysie

We have one for outside our house our tires have had nails put in a few times. you think your unlucky but when it happens exactly a month after the last time in the same tire you are bloody furious. Pcos came out cannot do anything of course. We said we were getting camera they just asked it see it when we had to confirm what it was looking at. We had a tablet at the front door and showed them they can see its pointed at our car. They went off quite happy. No more nails in tires. Its amazing how many cats set it off though.

Lol it is not illegal to film anyone, children or otherwise.

Why do u think shops etc have CCTV on this street?! Or police, or others, have portable CCTV on the vests?!

Lol. Because they are registered data controllers with the ICO and comply with all 8 data protection principles perhaps?

Very much doubt the neighbour has registered.

To clarify, is the neighbour immediately next door to your house and therefore you think that the camera not only looks into the back of their house but also the back of yours?

Correct, right next door.

Domestic users of CCTV are exempt from the requirement to register.

OP - if your husband - worse for wear - was doing what he was doing in a place freely viewable to a neighbour then you only have yourselves to blame.

It's only if the neighbour captured images where you had a reasonable expectation of privacy that you may have grounds to cry 'foul'. It's the difference between being readily viewable from the outside (when you walk around half naked regardless) or where the observer would have to enter your property and, say, peer through a window to see you flashing.

Why not just ask your neighbour to see the view from his cameras? Maybe saying that you are interested in getting some yourself?

I can't be bothered anymore. The neighbour can do what he wants, I am past caring now.

I will just put up black out curtains, cover up like an oppressed woman and live in darkness.

Don't worry, we were fully clothed in the garden and he just lay in the grass for comedy effect! We were not being loud, rowdy or rude to the neighbours and then went straight back into the house.

You make is sound as though we cannot venture outside in our own back garden when we are a little tipsy!

That is not a requirement. I can stand on the street with a camera and there is nothing illegal about that.

Now quote the law which prevents that or accept your wrong

Your garden is overlooked - do whatever you want to do BUT you may be overlooked - simples. Your OH was doing whatever it was long enough for the neighbour to get his phone out to take a picture and loud enough to attract the neighbour's attention - can't see what your problem is.

Unless you live in acres of private land, you will be seen... that's life.

You came on and started the thread about CCTV and now you say you're not bothered - I'm confused.

We were not being loud actually Tiddlywinks. He was not out there long actually, only for a couple of minutes. Not the whole night.

See... this is the thing about this forum, a majority of the people on this here assume things and they think thry know exactly what went on more than the OP!

I am not contributing to this post anymore. I have found a solution to the problem now.

Thank you to everyone to gave constructive advice and opinions.
