Witness appeal as road rage assault leaves cyclist with broken arm

The human rights act was not set up for people to complain about a shop camera pointing to far into a road, or a neighbours camera partly covering their driveway.

Why on earth are you all talking about the human rights act? Has this become the daily mail? It's nothing to do with the human rights act - the street is a public place, so the right to privacy would not be infringed by a shop camera pointing out into the road.

If there's any legal problem, it's more likely to be from the data protection act, because the pictures of passers-by in the street maybe aren't needed for the purpose of securing the shop, but I guess having it pointing so it could see the number plates of possible looters might be OK.

But I also digress to deal with all the loony human-rights bashing. I hope the cyclist-bashers are caught and convicted, with appropriate punishment.

I agree with the do-gooders. Britain has 1% of the world’s population but 20% of the world’s cameras also a private company cannot breach someone’s Human Rights only the state and those employed by the State can.

But I digress I hope they catch the b*****d
