hey guys,

just wondering, seen a post on here about 3 girls leaving without paying and seen the CCTV images, so I've had a search around the forum and can't find if it's been answered, so can you put a CCTV system in your cab as long as you have stickers to say your "recording" ?

In most areas yes it all depends on how dum your council is, call them and ask if they say no ask why not when 90% of the uks taxis have them

Yes you can, I've got one. As long as you get a licence from the Data Commissioner's office you're good to go.

Yes, but I think that question should also be directed to your licensing department as they might have a CCTV criteria that you must meet.

Doesn't that come under the "detaining against their will" situation discussed on another thread. anyway CCTV is not always about non payers.

It's for their own safety..they might fall out the vehicle out in their bid to run off without paying and then You'd have the Injury lawyers after you as well.

Great, thanks for all the posts. I'll have a look for one and also keep a note of what's what and will let you all know what the local council etc. say, cheers again.

@ nidge2, what kind have you got?

I seen the pictures in the other thread about the woman that had run off without paying and the images were fantastic.

Cheers

Auto locks usually stop people from outside getting in. Some cars do have the facility to have the doors locked from the inside whilst the foot brake is in use.

excellent, thanks for the heads up on it, I can see it can take a 32 gig memory card and will auto record when you start the car etc.

I'll have a look through the finer detail but good to know if it's been recommended.

Thanks a lot. :)

There have been a few stories about that on here as well.
