CCTV
From 1st January 2020 or sooner as agreed by the LPSC in consultation with the Trade, all Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicles will be required to install CCTV, which will record for the duration the vehicle is in use. The vehicle must clearly display signage to notify passengers of the presence of CCTV recording equipment.
The data controller for the CCTV footage from vehicles must retain these records for a minimum of 28 days and they must be available for inspection by the Council at any reasonable time. Copies must be provided to the Council on request.
The CCTV operator (Driver, Vehicle Proprietor or Private Hire Operator) and Data Controller must comply with the data collection, data storage and handling requirements set out by the Information Commission’s Office (ICO) and their codes of practice. https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1542/cctv-code-of-practice.pdf
This condition was deferred implementation at the LPSC on 15 November 2017.
