I am puzzled by this data protection law - not recording somebody's image without their permission - in live TV footballl for example, often the camera films close ups of people in the crowd then beam it all around the worlld. We also have cctv everywhere, which if it can't be used in court- then what's the point?

I'd go ahead and buy one, they not only support you in the event of an accident claim, but some of them are motion sensitive, and will start recording if your vehicle is tampered with.

Yes, mine is supposed to record if car is tampered with; quality is good and only cost me around £12 from ebay.

At football matches you're on private land and there's probably some fine print in the T's & C's of the ticket sale that says you agree to allow your image to be used in any way that the promoter wishes.

As far as dash cams and other CCTV are concerned, I don't believe that there a data protection issue about the images being used in court. It becomes an issue when you choose to post the video on YouTube, Facebook, or send the footage into You've Been Framed. If individuals can be identified, or if their vehicle can be identified - from the registration number for example - from video posted to the public domain then this could be construed as a breach of personal privacy

What make is yours Martin

It was just a cheapo off ebay,,,
Just checked and found the identical one on there again now here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-DVR-Camera-Full-HD-1080P-Video-Recorder-Dash-Cam-G-Sensor-Night-Vision-2017-/162614519339?epid=2121191223&hash=item25dc94a62b:g:yB8AAOSwC9VZgd0q - but I got it from China with no postage charge.
Quality is very good - here's a video I shot with it driving from my house to the beach at Guardamar - speeded up!: https://www.facebook.com/studio17/videos/10210257154168044/

Too much traffic Martin, was the journey that necessary?
