you can still film your kids at our school but theres a process to go through,1st you have to inform the school that you want to film for eg.sportsday then the school inform all parents that you want to they then the parents have to give their written concent saying if you can or cant,if someone says no then you cant film or take pictures,but we havnt had that yet

Re: should i have been informed
 

Is this true ? the question is are there more perverts around ? (do the figures support it ?)or is it just more mass hysteria whipped up by the tabloid press like the Diana death/funeral, everyone of a certain age remembers being kids when Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were doing their evil , but it didn't cause the national/worldwide paranoia that seems to be the case these days.
Everyone knew and warned young lads/kids to stay away from places ( certain town center public convieniences/certain stretchs of the canal bank/ areas of the barbary coast in Blackburn) where the 'flashers and gropers hung out so its not a new phenomenon .

They don't tell you because if it gets back to the ones they are after there might be reprisals. The man doing the filming might find all his windows put through or worse.

I suspect that you will be the first to complain to the housing association when one of these kids hanging around throws a brick through your window. Then you will be asking what they are going to do about it and they might lend you a camcorder to catch them in the act next time. We are all filmed as we go about our daily lives. We are supposed to be having a full sized CCTV camera about 30 yards from my house. I think everyone should have cameras around their house, I have. With enough CCTV coverage we should be able to catch the local nuisance offenders.

Here is a quote from this thread
And a couple from the Missing Maddie thread
I am sorry but you can't have it both ways. Not all CCTV used to catch criminals is Police CCTV, a large proportion of it is private and shop CCTV etc. Do you complain that your little girl is being filmed as she chooses her sweeties in the corner shop? How do you know the shop owner is not a perv?

why would i inform the h/a if the kids dont live here,what does it have to do with the h/a if a non h/a tenant throws a brick through my window,and as for cctv in shops we know they are there,i wasnt informed by the h/a that he was given the camera to film my kids,the fact is its a ball going into the neighbours drive,the kids are going in and getting the ball nothing else,its not the kids from the h/a that are kicking the ball into his drive ,so what has it got to do with the h/a,are you telling me that you dont mind anyone filming your kids because thats how your coming accross

Re: should i have been informed
 

I did not say I would not mind my kids being videoed. What I was trying to say was that I don't mind CCTV being used to reduce crime/sort out social nuisance etc. Unfortunately the two go hand in hand. I have a camera on my house. I have not told anyone but the Police seem to know it is there, I have had them ask if I could look at a certain time to see if anything was captured after an incident a few weeks ago.

Do you use the bus? Many buses now have CCTV fitted. Do you use Taxi's, same there.

Re: should i have been informed
 

no i drive,my kids are too young to use a bus/taxi its 3 buses to our nearest town ,i understand that the 2 go hand in hand but my points are why have our h/a who the neighbour is not a tenant of,been given a camera from the h/a to film kids that are from the h/a and neighbouring houses,when the kids that are kicking the football into his drive are not from the h/a,and not informed me a tenant that my kids may be caught on film,im not having a go at you neil im just concerned for my kids

Re: should i have been informed
 

Have you contacted your housing officer to find out?

Re: should i have been informed

Re: should i have been informed
 

just phoned my h/a who has told me that the anti social behavior bloke isnt in until 12 ,and he will explain the to me the in's and out's, so im told,i will keep you posted when i find out more
