Implications for Public Space Surveillance in the light of the Data Protection Act 1998
Until 1st March 2000 there was no statutory basis for a systematic control of CCTV surveillance in public spaces. However, with the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA 98) now fully in operation, there are legally binding procedures to regulate public space surveillance.
Implications of the Data Protection Act
Guidelines on the Data Protection Act 1 March 2000
EC Directive 95/46/EC on Data Protection came into force on 1st March 2000. This article addresses some of the issues raised by the Directive, which have been enacted in the UK bv the Data Protection Act 1998.
An Overview
The Government considers anti-social behaviour which causes harassment or intimidates neighbours, or a community in general, to be unacceptable. The Government therefore included the anti-social behaviour order among the measures introduced under its Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
Guidance
This guidance was issued by the Home Office in March 1998 and contains advice on the procedures and practice to be adopted by the police and local authorities in handling anti-social behaviour orders.
CCTV and the Human Rights Act
Public space surveillance in light of the European Convention on Human Rights
Experience in those European countries where the European Convention on Human Rights has already been incorporated into domestic legislation shows that surveillance systems are subject to strict statutory controls. Even allowing for the fact that the European legal system is codified and our own system is based upon the common law, it is likely that the Courts may view the way in which images have been captured to be unlawful.
Guidance on drawing up local ASBO protocols
Preface by The Home Secretary
Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) were introduced from 1 April 1999. Their purpose is to target activities which disrupt the lives of individuals, families or communities. ASBOs are an important addition to the range of responses available to tackle anti-social behaviour. They are not intended to replace existing measures in all circumstances.
Sample Prohibitions from ASBOs
ASBOs can prohibit an individual from specific behaviour and from entering a particular area. The following sets of prohibitions are all taken from actual ASBOs granted by the courts and are examples of the type of behaviour that can be prohibited by an ASBO.
