My view would be that having gathered the data, i.e. the photographs, the
camera should have been handed over to the police who have the power to
pursue the investigation. Unfortunately the man in his emotional state tried
to do their work without having such power. In the British Gas case I
cannot see why the condition in Scedule 2, "vital interests of the data
subject" could not cover a call to social services.
