Seeking views:-
An individual involved in a road traffic collision is aware that the
collision will have been caught on camera. After all most major junctions
and many roads are now covered by camera which should be recorded on quality
tape, as required by the CCTV CoP.
There are no injuries, no road furniture is damaged, only damage is to the
two vehicles involved.
A dispute arises between the parties involved and one of them applies for
subject access to the cameras data controller (having found out who the data
controller is, because like many road cameras they are not signed).
Sufficient detail is provided to the data controller to successfully service
the subject access request. A copy of the recording is then provided to the
insurance company to indicate which driver is responsible for the collision
and resolve the claim.
The insurance industry, being very alert to these issues as they may save
money, pick up on this and begin to request all persons involved in road
traffic accidents obtain CCTV footage of the accident.
Would that constitute enforced subject access under the DPA 1998?
Is it an abuse of the data subjects rights?
