A member of staff left their venue and assaulted me on a public road while I was minding my own business. The police couldn't be bothered to collect the footage using the PACE act, or even review it at the time. I submitted a Subject Access Request to get the ball rolling. I was on public land, it was a member of staff in the video, and they committed a crime. There's no reasonable expectation of privacy in this instance - they have to share the footage.
The bar refused to hand over the footage. The ICO sent them an email saying they should reconsider and closed the case. Useless.
The footage will go over the 30 day limit, the ICO know the only evidence is going to be destroyed. They do not care.
They take millions in taxpayer money each year so it is my opinion that this is essentially another parasite institution. Some sort of tool for people in power to lean on when they need to persecute a business or person. The term 'adult-daycare' also springs to mind, frankly. It does not serve the public as far as I can see. Reading the other reviews is depressing.
