HDAV Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 If the CCTV is done properly it certainly is admisable!!! Private CCTV covering public space is the issue but properly installed and run CCTV (information commissioners office used to deal with it) is fine, council CCTV is the best but getting hold of footage hard however police can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Whether CCTV is admissable or not doesn't matter right now, what matters is that plod collar the bloke and tell him that he is on CCTV and he is nicked. If they do it right he'll admit to the vandalism and Bob's your uncle. I hope they nail the sad slag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Does the CCTV actually show someone scratching your car or just walking down the side of it? If you can't see the bloke scratch it your unlikely to get a conviction unless he admitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 even if the police don't take it further you stand a good chance of a private prosecution either through your insurers or doing it yourself. Though if you have the pictures clear enough I'd just contact the company he works for, doing that in a works van will be something they really don't like. If it was one of my drivers he would be paying up or on his bike so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
