CCTV Evidance

[Desotuatail]

Can someone tell me the rules against using CCTV evidance against someone. Say for example I bought a CCTV system could this be aceptable. I am thinking about the acuracy of the date and time and that I bought this equiptment myself. If it shows a crime being commited? Does it have to be a company only with a qualified engineer?

This has not happened yet. I am looking ahead to a problem that could happen.

No. But all here are volunteers, and do not jump to every poster's beck and call.

Thanks .. I was thinking of getting the police to verify the date and time when they were here. If this happens though. I have a sycopathic woman who has been in and damaged my cloths. Nothing stolen. These are flats and prior to me moving in she had a key from a previouse tennent. So I beleive it will happen. I have bought a systen myself with cameras and set it up. Toog some time but it is working now.

If this person has a key to your property have you thought about getting the door locks changed?

[Desotuatail]

Yes I can but I have had lots of stuff stolen. I am fighting back and get them arested / charged/ and sent to prison with compensation for everything. Can get compensation or is prison instead of compensation. What I mean is you compensate or you go to prison. I estimate £750 and I have had to buy £600 of CCTV.

Also. Can I get them to pay for the CCTV or will the judge say, "Well you still have it anyway. But I could argue that I should not have had to buy it.

Thanks.

IS there a court case pending if so what are the charges?

[islandgirl]

Change the locks as advised. Will cost far less than a CCTV system and be far more effective. As for a potential crime, if theft is charged the answer is...it depends. Unlikely to be sent to prison for this unless there is a huge back story - you may be awarded some form of compensation upon conviction. But if it is mental illness may not be charged by Police anyway.

Yes it will but I want the £700 of this person who has been doing this. If I do what you say, I don't get any compensation and the person does not go to prison. Whould this be better for me? NO.

As for "IS there a court case pending if so what are the charges?"

No but I know given time he She will try again. I am looking at what is available to me when the time comes.

No court how do you expect compo without taking them to civil court if the police will not act contact their superior officers .

[islandgirl]

Here are the guidelines for theft. Assuming the Police did act then prison is extremely unlikely

Court can order a fine / community sentence plus compensation to you. However I think you have said nothing was stolen so it cannot be theft. Possibly criminal damage

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk...iminal-damage/

Where does the £700 value come from?

However on the information given I doubt very much that the Police will prosecute...

Buy the CCTV for peace of mind, change the locks and move on

[Desotuatail]

I HAVE TOLD YOU. There has not been a break in. There has been no arrest. There has been no court case. Why do you think so?

[wales01man]

No break in no arrests no court case but you wand compo and this person put in prison what do the police have to say?

[Desotuatail]

When I first moved into these flats. I did not know that someone had a key. I was burled on multiple occasions by someone who had a key. Police could not do anything as there was no proof of a burglary. She had a key.

She has been in again and not only stolen property but done criminal damage including cutting up my cloths. I have calculated the theft / damage at £700.

I bought CCTV. It is installed and working. I know, given the opportunity, she will do this again. I will have caught her.

All this was explained. If she burgles me and causes large criminal damage then I believe she could go to prison. I need to do this and I need to get her charged.

Yes there is a huge back story in this.
