You have no right to the CCTV and they will not send it (They say they will , but won't) , if they do it will be a breach of the DPA

Why?

What personal information is contained on the footage?

If that were the case why don't the police need a DPA request to get footage?

Perhaps you need to actually type about something that you know about rather than just trying to wind me up. I suggest you read up a bit more on the internet.

Aka, you don't know.

We all know the data can be released for the prevention and detection of crime. But as this is a motoring offence, you have gone to great lengths to say that motoring offences aren't criminal offences. How you gonna get round that?

Bump.

I got a letter back today saying they have put aside the footage and I can have it for... £185.02 :eek:

I thought there was a maximum amount of circa £10, how on earth have they come to that figure.

That doesn't help him much. Try having another read, he know he was there as he parked his car there. It's footage of someone else he needs.



"You have the right to request closed circuit television (CCTV) footage of yourself.

The CCTV owner must provide this within 40 days, and can charge up to £10.

You need to make a request in writing to the owner of the CCTV system. The owner’s details are usually written on a sign attached to the camera, unless the owner is obvious (like a shop).

You should tell them you’re requesting information held about you under the Data Protection Act, and provide information to help them identify you, like:

a specific date and time
proof of your identity
a description of yourself
The CCTV owner decides how they provide the footage, and can edit it to protect the identities of other people.

The CCTV owner can invite you to a viewing of the footage, but only if they’re unable to provide you with the footage itself.

They can refuse your request if sharing the footage will put a criminal investigation at risk.

CCTV footage of a crime
If the CCTV footage relates to a crime and the police have the footage, they will tell you if you can see it."

Surely the same principle applies for requesting footage of your property. Why would you limit the cost to £10 for footage of you but as soon as you are out of the picture, the price goes up to £180?

So he get footage of his car, who will that help him?

He needs footage of someone else and their car, so you best find him a link to obtaining that.

Why does he? If he has the footage of his car in that car park, he will ultimately be able to see that something happened to his car in that car park.

Lets assume another car hit his. He can then hand over the evidence to the police to investigate the crime commited (leaving the scene of an accident).

All he needs to do is prove that his car was damaged whilst parked in that car park.
