I am going to hazard a guess that you don’t have many friends or visitors. ”Oh hi Dave, no we are not home yet, let me just open the door so you can let yourselves in and make yourselves at home. We will be there in 10” I am assuming this doesn’t happen very often in your world? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one took the mouldy cheese though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer if random people weren't allowed to store data on me indefinitely. But having to pay £70 for the registration is a bit thick don't you think?

It’s really not that weird or unusual but whether one would be useful to someone depends on their lifestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of sad bastard records their journey to work? The sort that have to argue with dickhead insurance companies after an accident, when the other person denies responsibility for something that's clearly their fault. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that’s about the baseline level of people who regularly use in car CCTV. You don't think external cameras on a car are a good thing when it comes to sorting out liability for accidents? I can see why taxi driver may use internal cameras in their car. Not really anyone else though, if that's what you're meaning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could say, the sort of people who drive properly and so have nothing to hide but don’t trust the other dickheads on the road not to smash into them and deny any blame. You will disagree and that’s fair enough, but I tend to think people who are adverse to a bit of CCTV or dash and that could help you on the odd occasion you need to rely on the footage, tend to be a bit strange. Antivaxers or low level crims normally. Normal people just see them as a nice little bit of backup info if ever needed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it proves is their bad actions if it captures everything. Then why would you have an issue with it? Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Dash cam evidence, like body cam, or any CCTV depends on quality, focus, distance, light conditions, position, perspective, like any visual ID evidence. And you can’t ever be certain about the effect of things happening off cam, or before the recording. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but if it weren't paid by the applicant it'd be paid by taxes and apparently people round here hate that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only seem to enforce against organisations, firms etc, rather than individuals. And many of these should presumably be registered anyway because of computer systems etc. Similarly it's not needed for dashcams unless they're part of someone's job. Of course individuals might still get into trouble from use of footage that breaches privacy law in some way, but not just for passively recording for security reasons. (Based on UK information, but I can't see much difference here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
