My best mate has been recieving a LOT of grief from his family recently (several cars smashed up/burned, assaulted, chased and generally harangued). No solid evidence can be found so the police cannot do anything.
What I need to know, is what the laws around home security recording equiptment are, and where can I find more information?
More specifically, Can I install a security camera outside the front of the house so that It can see any vehicle (and activity around it) parked on the road outside the front of the house and can the recordings be used as evidence in court?
Answer
You can install a camera anywhere that it isn't looking into a place where other people have a "reasonable expectation of privacy".
Camera on the front of the house looking at the driveway? Perfectly legal.
Camera on a 40' pole in your back yard where it looks down into your neighbours bathroom window? Illegal.
A video recording of people in a public situation is legal evidence in a court case.

Is the installation of government security cameras into private homes in the UK an example of Europe's higher?

Mike. So removing "problem families" from their homes and putting them in a concentration camp is somehow better? Are you joking?
Answer
Wow, if that were actually true, it might just suck. But as a US/ UK dual national it sounded like, well, exactly the kind of BS that only an American Republican would dream up. Enjoy your morning tea bag.
From the article:
"UPDATE: Further research shows that the Express didnât quite have all its facts straight. This scheme is active, and the numbers are fairly accurate (if estimated), but the mentions of actual cameras in peopleâs homes are exaggerated. The truth is that the scheme can take the most troublesome families out of their homes and move them, temporarily, to a neutral, government-run compound. Here they will be under 24-hour supervision. CCTV cameras are not specifically mentioned, not are they denied, but 24-hour âsupervisionâ certainly doesnât rule this out from the camera-loving Brits."
