Reminds me of a ridiculous warning message I received when trying to report a dangerous driver through the police’s Operation Snap. They kindly reminded me that I needed the permission of any pedestrians or other people in my dashcam footage to report it, otherwise I could be committing a GDPR offence!
Edit: This is the exact wording
*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*
The only way I can think this would be a problem is if the SUSPECTED shoplifter hasn’t been convicted in a court of law yet.
In that case, under ‘innocent until proven guilty’ – shouting to your local community that he’s a thief would be ‘deformation of character’, which is an offence. If he lost his job because his boss says ‘I ain’t hiring thieves’ – but then was found innocent in court, I’d imagine he’d sue, and win.
The law on data protection has been interpreted in such a mad way. You can have people on camera committing sex crimes but it’s apparently against the law to share pictures and testimony of these people privately *between branches* as part of an effort to prepare others.
My personal interpretation of sharing images like this, is that it could prejudice any legal action
Ok it’s unlikely that a fella nicking booze from the offie is going to face a jury, but I think that there have to be the presumption of innocence until found guilty and even if you have footage of them red handed, you should wait until after they are prosecuted or cautioned before sharing the imagery
Of course if bugger all happens, I dunno
If thats the case why are the BBC allowed to show people on crime stoppers?

We need to do more to protect the rights of shoplifters
Why is the Telegraph dredging up year-and-a-half old web pages? Here’s the actual page, which of course the Telegraph refuse to link: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2023/10/how-data-protection-law-can-help-retailers-tackle-shoplifting/
They approve sharing of shoplifter information to:
* the police
* security guards
* other managers in the same shopping centre
* local businesses, as long as information is not sharing in a way that could lead to it ending up on personal phones or uploaded to personal cloud backups
They don’t approve of sharing of shoplifter information to:
* all staff members rather than just retail and security staff
* the general public
“may not be appropriate”
Heh.. neither is pilfering.
