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.

Because of data protection, the exact act you gave him a link to. He will need to show that someone else's vehicle was present and damaged his car. He will therefore need footage of a car that's not his and images of someone else and not him. Your link stated he was entitled to footage held about him not the third party.

I am going to, I knew I seen something regards £10.

£180 is just obscene, I mean surely it's CD they will send me, £180!!!!

Do it and expect to get footage of only yourself for £10. You may well find out that you're the only one on the footage after you have driven there to collect the footage. They could just say it's here and ready for collection personally by you.:D

Or ultimately inform the police the council have the cctv that will assist their investigation.

Exactly. They will blur out the other people and number plates, once that is done, the cars and people cannot be identified.

He doesn't need to identify the person, he just needs to witness the accident. The police will then identify the culprit from the original copy of the CCTV.

The collision did not occur when the op was there so the other driver will not be on the footage they hold of him.

He is asking for two hours of footage that he is not on, how does that relate to the link yiu gave?

Thanks guys for the debate.

dannyrst, you talk a lot of sense however ChumLee I don't quite understand your view in the sense that what you say accounts to £180.

I am trying to understand where the council is getting £180 from when it states the government set a limit of £10 from what I have read.

I've never said it accounts to £180, what I have said if you read dannyrst's link for £10 you are entitled to the footage they hold of you. That is walking from your car to the exit and from the exit back to your car. They have no footage of you when the alleged collision takes place.

I don't know why you just don't inform the police they have the footage.

Oh. I feel we've been here before already.

A DSAR can only be charged at £10. That is a Data Subject Access Request.

That is a request for all data held about you by a company. That car belongs to the OP, therefore in my mind would be part of a DSAR request and the entire video should be provided.

The only people who can say for sure would be the ICO. Speak to them and explain your situation.

But the link you provided doesn't say that.

His best bet is to pass it onto the police, they can add it to the collision report his insurance company will have to pay them for anyway.

Meh, I'm done.

OP - you have my advice, do with it as you will :beer:
