Gwenan,
I asked the OIC this question last year.
The OIC advised that it was not a DP issue and that the individual making
the complaint should pursue this as for a 'breach of the peace' or similar
matter.

I hope that the list won't mind me asking a slightly personal (rather than
work related question) regarding CCTV.
A family member is having problems as his neighbour has put up CCTV cameras
around the property. As my uncle's house is next door all the too-ings and
fro-ings from his house is also being filmed. He's asked me if he has any
recourse under DP, as his neighbour is filming and keeping these images.
What is slightly more of a concern is that he has images of my Uncle and
friends (going about their business in their own houses) up on a notice
board in his house as my family member found out when he called to try and
reason with him!
I am a little challenged by this! Presumably this is a clear breach of the
CCTV guidelines issued by the OIC, but does the law apply in the same way
to an individual as it would to a company?
Any ideas would be welcome, and thanks for indulging me with this little
personal question!
Gwenan
