A young couple moved into a house near a roundabout in a quiet residential street a year ago. Recently a large post was fixed in the centre of the roundabout and now a large CCTV camera of the 'black lamp' variety has been fixed to it. They feel it to be a great invasion of their privacy as it looks right into their bedroom window and records all their movements in and out of the house. They have complained to the authorities but they say that the police want it there but if they keep to the law there is nothing to be afraid of, but that is not a satisfactory answer. It is a very quiet residential street with little traffic and little crime and no anti-social behaviour. What can they do about it apart from moving home? They say it is like living in a police state as your every move is being recorded and they have to keep the curtains drawn all day and night. They went to the police but they said that it is against the law to discuss security matters including CCTV.

Re: Spy camera outside home..
I did a stint working for LA CCTV for a while. I understand they can digitally block out the property. We had a number that when we panned the camera around we couldn't see which had been digitally blocked out.

Re: Spy camera outside home..
Would persistent requests under the DPA for copies of the recordings spur the authorities to make an effort to come to a more reasonable arrangement? So as to avoid having to supply the data/ video and therefore save time and expense?
I have no idea if that would stand any chance of working but thought it worth mentioning - just in case.
