What are the implications of using the system in the UK with regards to Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act?
A. You are not allowed to carry out pre-planned targeted surveillance of a particular individual without prior permission in compliance with RIPA. Any evidence gathered in this way would possibly be not admissible in court. If you are carrying out general surveillance and happen to see an incident & capture an individual committing an offence there should be no problem with using this as admissible evidence. We would recommend seeking the advice of your local Police Authority regarding RIPA and ensuring all operators are adequately trained.
