Subject: [data-protection] Viewing CCTV footage
Hello All,
I've just received a query from our CCTV Control centre which I would like
your views on please.
An incident occured within the last 2 years involving 2 individuals. Our
CCTV system caught the incident. At the time, the police seized the tape
to conduct an investigation. According to form the Officer's involvement
in the case is questionable.
The case went through the Courts I don't know the outcome. But somewhere
along the lines the individuals have got their hands on a non original
tape from the Police.
These individuals have attempted to watch the CCTV footage but can't view
it on normal video recorders. The individuals have therefore made an
appointment to view the footage today on our equipment.
What would you do in these circumstances? Although the information was
originally obtained by us, it has been disclosed by another organisation?
Should we allow the individuals to view the tape? How about 3rd party
data?
I look forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards,
Julie Davenport
Data Protection Adviser
