There is no expectation of privacy in public places. You are trying to prove me wrong by subtly shifting the argument.

> You're claiming that because there's no expectation of privacy on the street someone can just run CCTV and do what they like with those images.

I never claimed that. But I will say that there is no legal restriction on filming a public space in England.

I am not subtlely shifting the argument.

I'm giving you at least one clear example where someone in public had an expectation of privacy and that was upheld by English courts.

I've also showed that English data protection laws provide an expectation of privacy and restrict what type of filming and photography people do in public places.

For fuck's sake, there are at least 3 and probably more.

1) Naomi Campbell case above

2) Data protection forbids certain kinds of filming in public

3) "This is a prohibited place within the meaning of the Official Secrets Act" -- try standing on a public street filming a location that has these signs up and see how far you get.

The Met Police (among others) disagree. [1]

Again, Naomi Campbell's case is not about filming a public space.

It's also clear that there might be special cases, e.g. for national security.

Data protection does not forbid filming in public.
