    That's not correct. The value of CCTV is often limited by the quality of the recording, but it features in thousands of criminal cases every year and I have seen numerous convictions based upon it.

    With the subject of security, one thing you should never do is, when retiring to bed, never leave your
    keys in the lock.
    Turns out I found this out, when living Mexborough, 5.30 am there was 2 plain clothes policemen knocking
    on my door, after going downstairs I found back door open, I had been the victim of a burglary.
    The police knew a certain person was on the prowl to commit burglary, so had cordoned off a certain area
    near his house, he had committed quite a few burglaries inside that night, the police were waiting for him
    coming back to his house to catch him.
    What he did was that he had a spoke out of a bicycle wheel, bent it certain ways, then used it to turn the
    key in locks to open the doors, when people left their keys in.
    About 2 years ago a lady near me, came to my bungalow asking if we saw anyone going over her fence,
    with that she had been burgled 3 times, but didn't know how they got in.
    I told her about leaving the keys in the door situation, she replied that's what she done, not been burgled
    since.

    I've had a look at the case that started this thread.

    This was a civil action for breach of GDPR and nuisance. The level of damages and costs is yet to be decided. I'm not sure where the £100 000 comes from.

    A bit of sensationalist reporting, I think.

    The case is interesting because the judge decided that GDPR applied to the CCTV camera because it covered his neighbours property. GDPR does not cover CCTV cameras maintained for purely domestic purposes.

    The lesson is to let your neighbour know that you have cameras and what they cover and ensure that they are comfortable with it. I suspect that this case was the tip of the iceberg of an ongoing dispute between neighbours.

    First one you posted showed the tracking of the woman. It had nothing to do with a conviction

    The 2nd one they already had the bloke who committed the murder and he had admitted he ran over the bloke..So they didn't use CCTV to I'd anyone.

    Can't be bothered to watch the rest as presume they are the same. Maybe you should have done more than 2 minutes of research

    Fair enough Cayton. Keep those eyes tight shut.

    The CCTV in the second link was used in the trial to demonstrate the nature of the attack as the offender was denying murder. CCTV is not just used for identification.

    You could Google:. How CCTV played a ***** role in tracking Sarah Everard – and her killer. This site doesn't like the link because it includes a prohibited word.

    The Kent Police have even gone to the trouble of creating a SOP for its management:

    Out curiouity where does your understanding come from?
