Taxi Driver Online

What chance would the driver have of getting his money without CCTV?

the driver passed the cd and the photos on to the police and within 24 hours one plod said i know him i arrested him last week with the same jumper on, so they was going to pay him a vist
i bet he wished he had paid the £12.50 fare NOW

Not only that but with this good publicity maybe it will remind the scum that with CCTV they have a very good chance of getting caught and making the newspapers.

That is class, the pictures are of good quality to. I'd have loved to have seen their faces when the plod knocked at the door and shown them the photos.

Its a good photo, do you know if the owner installed his own equipment, dinky? Or did it have to be approved by the council?

In the 8 months or so since I got my camera installed I have only had ONE runner.
Couldn't get the download though as it was messed up by the person who is the Data Controller.

hes got a veifeye system the same as me . the pics are good. this system is good. all on a hard drive with time date stamp reg no etc and if you have a data radio system fitted it can even give you the gps point of where you was when that photo was taken. WBC are ok with this system

It is well known that I don't subscribe to the view of some, that my council or local police should have sole control of my in-car CCTV system. If I'm going to install CCTV then I want it installed on my terms providing it meets all the legal requirements of the 1998 data protection and human rights acts.

Mr Allo Allo has described an incident where data evidence was lost because of the involvement of a third party council employee. This evidence could have been imperative and it highlights the fact that allowing others to process your data is not advisable as there is no accountability.

I'm sure this couple will be caught thanks to CCTV but why is the DfT still letting councils get away with refusing owners and drivers this basic commodity of driver safety?

It's about time the DfT pulled its finger out of its backside and lead from the front on this issue.

From what you are saying can we take it that WBC have no control over how the system is operated and that they leave it up to each individual driver?

As long as the system is compliant with the 1998 DPA i think there is not a problem. i was the first i think in warrington and st helens (ive had it for about 8 years) to fit a system and both council did not have a problem with it getting fitted. if any LA told me i cound not have a compliant cctv system i think i would see them in court. we have put up with enough S**t just by doing the job we do so any thing that protects or backs us up is a must in this day and age
I would advise any drivers on here to put one in. you only only have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. and why should you worry (and the nice taxman pays for it anyway 100%)
