Only if it's being recorded. If it's recording a public place your supposed to be registered and have a reason for the system and have signs up and stop any joe blogs from viewing it. bla bla. As long as it's not looking in someone’s window though I can't see a problem unless someone stirs it up. I was told a story of a guy who installed a pan tilt and zoom camera to watch his boat which was on the canal across a piece of common land from his house. he recorded on to a hard drive, deleted it but later found out his boat had been vandalised. He took it to a cctv specialist to see if the could recover it which they did. Problem was he could use it as evidence, because also on the same recording, and probably the reason why it was deleted, was images of a zoom in to a house window over the other side of the canal and a young lady getting changed. He could get in to serious trouble for what he's doing plus he never got the culprits that vandalised the boat.
