I was looking at today Road.cc's 'near miss of the day' and I noticed the following
The report also raised questions about the Operation Crackdown portal, which our reader notes "now states that for 'GDPR' reasons you have to inform other drivers that you are filming using a dashcam in order for them to be useable."
The portal has the following statement which needs ticking before making a report.
First I have heard of this - if enforced properly it would make all CCTV footage from cars and bike irrelevant
Anyone else heard of this or is it just one Police Force - or even one copper - going a bit overboard??
thanks

I confirm that I understand that dashcam footage falls under the Category of CCTV and as the footage is taken in the public domain, the Domestic Purposes Exemption under the Data Protection Act/UKGDPR does not apply and therefore all users are Data Controllers in their own right. As such you should be informing the public that they are being filmed and should have some form of notification on your mode of transport as you have responsibilities under the Data Protection Act /UKGDPR
