Davyo Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Mate has had letter from insurance company re his accident he recorded on his next base.Although it aided him in his claim the other party has put in claim about privacy infringement because he wasn't displaying stickers on the car to comply with DPA or something. I run front and rear Nextbase in both my cars and today will be making sure the supplied stickers are put on the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Unless the law has changed you have no right to privacy in a public place. I used to take pictures for a library and as long as in a public place I was safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing I like about cams,especially in the rear of the car is 'once they clock it the majority back off immediately' Just put our stickers 10 minutes ago.Funny how we just put stuff away,its in the box for a reason just didn't read the small print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Surely the dash cam takes footage of vehicles, not the drivers? Do vehicles have privacy rights? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take Dunks' point, but............ I fiited F&R Nextbase when I got the car and got some stickers which I used. I was totally ignorant of any law regarding the cam use and was wondering if drawing attention to the presence of them was a good idea so removed the stickers. Immediately your point about tail-gaters was again apparent so the back one was replaced. Now just nipping out to re-do the front. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Gordon Bennett! Thanks for the timely warning Davyo. Packs of little stickers are available for pennies on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Nope sorry but a load of tosh. You may film whatever is happening OUTSIDE your car at any time. No privacy law. What you must not do is film occupants inside your vehicle without displaying a sticker to inform them. ie. inside a bus or PSV. Celebrities are filmed when inside their own vehicles all the time. Even royalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm800 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Surely all the stickers do is advertise to scrotes that you have something worth knicking when parked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Interesting scenario as I thought that the insides of cars etc were classed a public places? Thinking the situation of the fruit knife found in the glove box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Did the other driver have a dash cam? How does he know the stickers weren't in place? He can't have been looking all that closely if he managed to crash in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Reminds me of the guy currently sueing my son for "hurt feelings". He was sacked by my son following multiple at fault accidents and subsequently lost his case for unfair dismissal. He's now sueing for hurt feelings following his dismissal and lost case! My son installed dash cams in all his lorries and uses them in court to prove not at fault. Never had any come back on camera footage infringing privacy. Sounds like he's trying it on, just be careful he doesn't sue for hurt feelings because he loses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 You don't need stickers on your car if you have a dash cam. You don't have to tell anyone your filming. It's a public place. The law is quite simple on it. You own the copywriter of what you film also and don't have to delete it if asked either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of energy. Unfortunately it'll still cost in legal fees and time etc to defend it. They try it on hoping for a payout to get rid.

Mungler Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 The thing about GDPR etc is that it’s so new no one really knows what it’s all about and as a result there’s a whole load of BS floating about. Indeed, even the consultancy industry that has sprung up does nothing but spread BS and fear of some sort of GDPR transgression. More often than not though the benefit of the recording (be that voice audio or video etc) will outweigh any data protection issues whether they be real or imaginary.
