Conservative councillors
Did anyone see this ambulance-chasing (literally) chap on Newsnight last night? Essentially every night (or possibly every Fri/Sat, I'm not sure) he goes around London's West End (mainly Soho and Leicester Square) filming 'anti-social behaviour' such as drunkenness, vomiting, stabbings, urination, public sex etc.All laudable, except he's been doing it for years, goes home, watches all the videos, logs down what is happening and neatly files them. So in fact it's rather freaky. The Newsnight report was ridiculously soft on him, asking only once the obvious question that it seemed rather like voyeurism, and not following it up when he avoided the question. The Police seemed thoroughly pissed off with him, as I suspect were many of the people he was ostensibly trying to save.
So I was wondering, do the laws on Data Protection apply to invidiuals such as this man, or just to companies?
