Hello everyone, I have got an unusual question....
My car already has a car parking dink in the door which looks to be from another car door:mad: and the only place I have parked it so far is on my drive (Which another car cant park next too) and at work.
I have asked to look through the CCTV with someone and I have been told that I am not allowed to look as this breaches the Data protection act as I could report someone if I see them leaving early for example. The man in charge has said that he will look and get back to me. However I know he will not look as closely as I would as its not his car!
I have done a bit of research and as far as I can make out, CCTV is there to help solve crime or wrong doing and CAN NOT under any circumstance be used to spy on anyone. From that I assume this now rules out the excuse that I can report someone as this is not allowed as will be deemed spying so surely I should be allowed to look through the data?
Also as its my car, under the freedom of information act, am I allowed to request footage of me and my property or as it's on company property does this not count? For example, I know the council would have to show me everything that they have..
I really have no idea but I am really angry to have this dent in my car! Any help would be greatly appreciates guys.
