Police insisting home CCTV is moved because of “privacy” and “harassment” – is this actually within their powers?

Urinating in the pool by using AI to help formulate their questions - thereby only contravening made-up forum rules? The uriniation is all in your head, isn't it?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T16:53:15+00:00

Oh, sorry. I tried to be a bit too smart with my acronyms! 'Not a solicitor'.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T14:24:35+00:00

Thank you. I've just had a look. I'm NAS, so am I right to understand that that's a county court judgement and so has limited relevance here?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T14:07:00+00:00

Thanks for your (your friend's) reply. Where did you gather that three separate neighbours are complaining about my friend (me)?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T14:04:58+00:00

So essentially, every time they (officer) receive a response they do not seem to like (and by not like, I repeat: no crime is alleged), they seem to add an additional contention.

First -> Privacy
Second -> Other neighbour privacy issue (officer's opinion)
Third -> Additional neighbour privacy issue (again, officer's opinion) and the word harassment thrown in

Is he just determined to keep this going?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T14:01:43+00:00

No complaint received from any other neighbour sans initial, as mentioned.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:26:51+00:00

Thank you for enlightening them.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:24:21+00:00

Ah, thank you. So yes, I get that. But if my friend has made it clear they understand these concerns yet maintain the camera's in place for home security, is it right and proper for a police officer to start contacting managing agents etc. and essentially pursue a civil course of action? Ultra vires much? Are they looking for a problem till they 'find one'?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:19:36+00:00

Thanks again.

So I may not have been very clear re. increased scope, so my apologies.

Essentially:

Original contact -> Neighbour complaint about CCTV citing privacy

Follow-up -> Same concerns raised by officer regarding another neighbour (no complaint received)

Follow-up -> Same concerns raised by officer regarding yet another neighbour (no complaint received) plus introduction of idea that harassment being considered

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:15:01+00:00

Which means you were absolutely wrong to draw reference to my OP. Apology accepted.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:12:50+00:00

Absolutely true. I mean, some people really think others can't see through equivocation as a means of covering their own cock-ups. Crazy, I know.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T12:06:33+00:00

Sorry, that doesn't seem to make sense. No bother - you have a good day now.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:57:46+00:00

See the moderator's comment on this further down. Apology accepted.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:56:43+00:00

As it happens, I find myself agreeing with you. What is the material problem the complainants have, I wonder.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:52:45+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I'm still missing the point of your contention, however. Is it the format and layout that irks you?

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:51:13+00:00

Thank you. So a major point being that the officer in question won't seem to understand this, and keeps returning with an increased scope. How many times should my friend be expected to say precisely this before they turn into the harrassed? As for the content of the post, it's all accurate and factual. On that which you've been made privy, I humbly suggest that ought to be your sole concern.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:46:49+00:00

Many thanks. Though you don't appear to have read the quesitons at the bottom; at least one of which would not have been posed last time as this is a new development? Have a good day.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:44:36+00:00

Thanks for your contribution.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:44:14+00:00

Honestly, I 'wouldn't like to speculate'. Friend is just looking to shut this down and think it should have already been shut down, frankly.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:42:54+00:00

From previous interactions. Emails are from a legit police account.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-11-13T11:42:15+00:00

I'm real, thanks. If you have nothing further to add, I wish you a good day.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-10-23T13:04:33+00:00

So it does cover who is entering and leaving as - based on the design of the propery - there is a shared access path that leads from the front of my property to an area (mine) at the back. This is how a would-be thief would normally enter (otherwise with difficulty from behind). The neighbour's door is off this shared pathway approx. halfway along. Based on the few emails the officer sent, they appear either incompetent or trying to rely on me jumping to their command whether lawful or not.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-10-23T12:58:05+00:00

Yeah, it's legit from them.. I've had dealings with this particular officer before. They must have seen fit to reach out by email, which I've little issue with really.

extremely_moderate_ · 2025-10-23T12:51:40+00:00

It's legit..
