Closed petition Make it illegal for private cctv cameras to encroach on private property/gardens

Closed on 23 January 2021

The Government make it illegal for private cameras to view into private property/gardens without consent. The Government should give the police powers to move cameras, view them and set stricter guidelines such as height and what is being recorded.

We would like the government to protect the privacy of people in their own property and gardens. Protect families with children from being recorded, or have images taken without their consent. We are very concerned that the police have little to no power to protect people from malicious intent, and current cctv guidelines are difficult to enforce.
