Een raad heeft beslist de camera's van kabeltelevisie in een misdaad-bereden gebied op de gronden niet te installeren zij „het Akte van Rechten van de mens“ zouden overtreden.
Tijdens het afgelopen jaar, is het asociale gedrag op het gebied van de Hammen van het Zuiden van Zuid-Devon gestegen. Maar het plaatselijk gezag beweert dat de camera's het recht van mensen op het „privé leven“ zouden overtreden.
De tribune van de raad komt amid een aantal klachten door ingezetenen in Dartmouth, Devon, over de stijging van asociaal gedrag zoals dronkenschap en vandalisme.
The council yesterday revealed it would prefer to tackle the problem by improving lighting and visibility in the problematic areas.
It claims to have been told that CCTV would be an infringement of the Human Rights Act - stating that every member of the public has “a right to respect for their private and family life”.
Nick Hodgson, the head of property services for the district council, said: “The council was advised that the use of CCTV could contravene the Human Rights Act.
“We also took advice from the police, who indicated the use of CCTV would not aid the legal process and was unlikely to help identify offenders.
“CCTV is only one of a number of measures to combat anti-social behaviour.”
But the revelations angered local residents. Angela Pitman, a mother-of-two from Dartmouth, said: “It’s disgusting that the council prefer to think of the criminals and their human rights rather than ours.
“What about us, the people who live their lives by the law, who are the victims of anti-social behaviour nearly on a day-to-day basis?”
