From the Ninteenth Annual Report of the Data Protection Commissioner 2007:

CCTV recordings have become an everyday part of our lives. Their usage, and seeming acceptance, for so many different purposes is troubling. In this case, the use of CCTV in the private areas of a sauna/steam room in a gym is questionable in itself from a data protection perspective.

That’s creepy.The full report is on the web here.

Westwood: their terms and conditions are amazing.

Captain Mulley was on the radio talking about the report this morning: Real Audio click.

• Sabrina Dent is a web designer with a web site that almost looks as cool as Jazz Biscuit’s. She pointed out some flaws in the way the super incredible awesome amazing BlogCCsearch engine dealy was working, in that it wasn’t linking to the attribution creative commons license as it should. So I fixed the thing earlier. Don’t know what I’m talking about? OMG, like, hello?

And finally - anyone know where the video below is from? It’s allegedly in Ireland somewhere.

The description says: CCTV,Ireland:Justice served….surveillance video from a shop in Ireland,a thief tries to rob a shop and the security guard picks his moment to perfection…he attacks the robber and the thief flees the store. [Live Link]
