But who would they object to? The police don't appear to be interested.
The ICO have repeatedly said they have no jurisdiction, a view with
which I strongly disagree. The Citizens Advice bureau don't know enough
about the privacy laws to be effective. A lawyer if he understood it
would likley be to expensive. I field this issue about twice a month
from mainly council tenants who can get no satisfaction from the
authorities.

Chris,
The domestic purpose exemption applies only where an individual - not
any
other legal entity - processes for his/her own or his family's use
(purpose) for
household affairs. I think that bit is quite straight forward.
Taking your garden CCTV camera example; if your purpose is to safeguard
your
prize blooms or keep an eye on the family's pet rabbit then that's a
legitimate
domestic purpose. It isn't related to some form of commercial activity,
and is
only done in the context of your personal or family activity and it
isn't
otherwise unlawful. Moving your camera so that it infringes your
neighbour's
right to quiet enjoyment of their sun bed in their backroom not only
infringes
your neighbour's privacy rights but also might be considered as
voyeurism
which is an offence. So they could quite rightly object.
Does that help?
Rgds,
Kevin
