Took his PDA, takings, mobile phone and gave him a roughing up just for good measure. We couldn't find out where he was because they'd took his PDA and took the battery out within seconds of them doing him over.

Fair play to the Police, they were up at our office within 5 minutes when the operator phoned them.

He's having one of my CCTV systems.

Indeed, but hopefully this nasty incident leads more drivers to get CCTV.

CCTV in private hire is still a no no right?

Data protection? the driver not being able to misuse any images of passengers etc etc??

So having this licence will allow me to have a CCTV installed in my private hire vehicle? with no qualms from the LA or the taxi firm ?
