Just a small thoughtet!
A local council in the deeper parts of southern London (this would never
happen in Scotland!) have popped up CCTV camera's in a particular high
street in order to reduce crime on the streets /pavements / shops, etc.
Now they are proposing to use these very same camera's to catch drivers
who jump traffic lights (an iron rice bowl job for someone - a good ole
Chinese expression!)! A question (or three!):
1. For the use of CCTV camera's in a street, do you require consent? I
would have thought that rather difficult! Should they warn drivers they
are filming people?
2. If I collected personal information for one purpose, I would not be able
to use for another, unless I gain subjects consent. How does this rule
apply to the use of CCTV camera information?
3. Would you use the local media to inform folk of a change of rules?
4. Where would this stop? Dogs fouling the pavement? Fitting microphones
on camera's to stop people from swearing in public - heaven forbid -
drinking in a public place - where would this madness stop?
