The Rafiki spam and other stories to keep you awake (II)

Before going to sleep, I have for you another tale of terror.

upon a 65 years old lady who lived alone in her small apartment. As he had no grandchild to bring him food in a basket, and was ready to leave this world earlier than expected, decided to set different alarm systems to protect your home, located on the first floor of the building. An association of right-thinking neighbors discovered on the balcony of the poor woman was a camera focused on the street, and without thinking twice, as reported to the Agency.

Monsieur le Directeur, further close the proceedings because it is a personal or domestic activity, opened disciplinary proceedings. Finally, how could it be otherwise, it was closed without penalty for the alleged, but with a clear warning:

"In the present circumstances, there is no evidence that the camera installed on the balcony the reported work and capture images of people, so that according to the principles of presumption of innocence, which prevents charge an administrative violation if there has been obtained and proved by evidence of proving the facts underlying the complaint or action on them of the alleged offender, and "in dubio pro reo", which requires in case of doubt as a concrete fact and determined to resolve that doubt in the most favorable to the insured and therefore the file is appropriate to propose these proceedings.

however, be fully upheld the imposition of a penalty if in the future continue cameras located in that balcony, as such circumstances may constitute sufficient circumstantial evidence to determine that that camera zooming road takes pictures of people who pass through them and rebut the presumption of innocence, may be imputed the infringements resulting from the implementation of the Data Protection Act could be punished in accordance with the system of penalties under that law

So that although this procedure is appropriate to file the infringement, for the reasons given above, that does not enable him to keep the installation of video cameras that focuses on public roads in the property mentioned.

therefore will adapt the facility to current regulations and removed, so that failure to do so, may engaging in violations of existing regulations with the result already described. "

Lords of the Agency, do not you ashamed of the way to terrorize defenseless old ladies? Is not it misuses threatening that unless you remove the camera from the balcony, they will come back for her, when you know it's hard to argue that this recording is included in the scope of the Data Protection Act?

Fortunately, this poor woman not have been left on the site once advised that he could drop a fine of € 60,101.21 to € 300,506.05. If not, have a death on their consciences.

For the brave: The full text of the resolution is here.
