The commissioners job is to report to Parliament on the use of CCTV and Automatic Numberplate Recognition (ANPR).
The idea here is to ensure that "the public can be confident cameras are not there to spy on them but to protect them". As such, CCTV systems installed in the Public Sector, will now need to be proven to be "suitable". This therefore affects installations for the Police, NHS, local councils and other such institutions. |
