just ben readig my local free paper and there is a section in there telling the readers the good news from the local council.
apparently fly tipping is still a big problem in romote locations, laybys, carparks etc, so they have pulled in the forces of a mobile CTV company.
the cameras are completely mobile, are un dectectable and are powered by batteries. They are only activated when there is movement. no one will be aware they are being filmed, the cameras are not just being used as a deterrant but to catch people.
im guessing they are not going warn people of the cameras as for one they will get no fine revenue if people are not caught and 2 you could just steal the camera lol.
Is it just me or does this new not sit well??
one reason being that i think it is an infirngement on your rights if you are being filmed without your knowledge and the other reason being what about doggers????

oh i wasnt disputing the whole flytipping is wrong, but i thought CTV cammeras with no warning was??

Unless your fly tipping they would only be able to watch the film and wouldnt be able to report you ,if your turning up in night time they will use infared and they dont normally give good quality pictures and they will also will be using passive infareds to make it record when movement or heat source is near the passive which is normally around 15 meters im not saying they use these units ,but a area which is prone to fly tippers i would avoid unless you want to be filmed
Yea.. i believe the law on sex in public is ... "where you wouldnt normally expect people to be"..hmmmm suggestions
and .. its interesting .. that private companies are hired..... are they data protection registered... asssssss.. they will be storing information .. personal to you.. ie your number plate.... hmm just a thought
I'm reminded of the case of a couple of CCTV operators who were prosecuted for using the camera to perv at a woman's bedroom window :shock:
OK so the cameras have been put out to catch fly tipper, where do you go dogging?
When we go for outside sex we find somewhere a bit more scenic than a tip, official or other wise. I can assure you that any camera set up where we go is not looking for fly tippers.
Since under the data protection act they have to put signs up to inform people they are entering a monitored area, one supposes that only an idiot is going to asume the signs are spoofs ?
In any case, there are so many dumbos' wandering about carparks and laybys with mobiles with cams in, that I'm surprised anyone expects privacy at all now !
