I didn't know where to post this  but the headline struck me as strange .........

Emiliano Sala: Pair admit accessing post-mortem CCTV


makes scarey reading me thinks  surely permission should be sought from relatives and isn't this something that we should know about? 

[Sparrow]

CCTV is everywhere.  We are the most watch people in the world.  Facial recognition is even more scary.

I am suspicious of people in authority and in particular the police.  Big Bother is very much watching you and everyone else.

But in Hospitals etc.? 

[Foxylady]

necessary evil although yes intrusive!

[Sparrow]

But in Hospitals etc.? 

I'm surprised your surprised.

[CLKD]

I have never been told that CCCTV is in operation in Theatre, mortuaries etc..  One would have to sign a consent form surely to have filming taken during surgical intervention .......... that's taking chaperoning TOO FAR!

[Sparrow]

Nope, they don't have to tell you anything, or ask your permission.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Actually, if photographs etc. are taken whilst someone is unaware, they do have to ask permission.  It should be part of the Consent Form.

Photography in a public place doesn't need permission.  The copyright remains with the photographer.  However, during sports when taking photos of children under 18 are taken, signed parental permission is required.  Under Safeguarding.

I'm off for a look-see - no way would anyone be taking film of me, dead or alive, without permission!

[Sparrow]

There is a wild rumour that we have privacy rights, in this country.  Unfortunately it is just a myth.

[CLKD]

Oh no it's not ............  [sorry, 4 months too early]

There will be a get out clause for 'security reasons'.  Technically I don't think hospitals come under public spaces.

[CLKD]

Under The Dangerous Dogs Act and any UK Law relating to Gun Crime, any area becomes a 'public space'.  Your car, your garden, your home ....... which is why Dempsey, the 1st Pitbull dog taken under that Act - from the M1 Service Station - from his owner's car, whilst he was sitting looking out the window  .  Someone contacted the Police or the Police were trying to fill in the quotas that week and Dempsey was taken away and his owners weren't allowed to know where.  He died in Police 'custody' 5 years later  .  The Vet who saw him at that time said that he had been neglected and Police admitted that food was shoved into the kennel as they were scared of him.  He was never walked, fussed or had a Vet check in those 5 years.

Sorry, I digress.

I have sent an e-mail to the named head of our local Hospital Safeguarding for Adults Team.  Will let you know  . 

I'll also ask around.  My interest has been peaked  . I know a Funeral Direct quite well

Surrey Fire and Safety Service:

CCTV Legislation – a simple guide to UK CCTV laws
 

CCTV legislation was introduced in the UK in 2012, followed by a Code of Conduct in 2013.  CCTV recordings are also covered by the Data Protection Act.  Sounds complicated? We provide a simple guide below.

I haven't read it yet.

Happy reading. Could be a cure for insomnia. 😴🙃

But in Hospitals etc.? 

I'm surprised your surprised.

So am I. What about newborn babies being snatched from a neonatal unit?
