I don't get this at all
How encrypting the images will help?
[quote]By July the firm must also ensure that no viewer can access footage from cameras located within a 30 mile radius of the viewer's location.[/quote] Why?
So you can't go out to the shops and have a wank and have video proof that you did.

[QUOTE=keroba;30453291]To put it on my facebook profile.[/QUOTE] Why? What is wrong with you?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;30450395]its a website that lets you look at the streets and report any crimes being made it violates privacy and now the images from the cameras need to be encrypted[/QUOTE] How the hell does it violate privacy if it's looking at streets? If some apartments were seen sure, but if you go out into the public, and someone films you, it's not breaking your privacy.
how does a webcam out in the public violate privacy?
[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;30459950]how does a webcam out in the public violate privacy?[/QUOTE] These aren't web cams, they are CCTV cameras, if I remember rightly this service basically allows people to become CCTV operators and report crimes as they happen. The requirements from the ICO make perfect sense in my opinion, CCTV footage in the UK is quite protected and [B]shouldn't[/B] be allowed to appear in places without the permission of the people in it (there's some situations when it is allowed though, this isn't one).
