Yes, the leading case on this is Jones v University of Warwick. Lord Woolfe was quite categorical in his judgement.

Subject: Videoing on private property
Hi All
Being relatively new to the world of data protection, I haven't previously contributed to the list, but have found the discussions very useful, so I am hoping you will be able to assist me with a query. Apologies if this has been discussed before!
If a private individual enters somebody else's private property without permission and takes video footage without permission of other living individuals on that property, is that private individual breaking the law?
Thanks for your help
