Who's up for a national "request-the-footage day"?

"greater use of subject access requests by those caught on CCTV cameras might make them less attractive for those so keen to keep an eye on us at all times"

Did anyone catch this?

"Also I read somewhere that if I am captured by a security camera while in public the operator of that camera must show me the footage. Is that correct? Is so, why don't we stage a national request-the-footage day to demonstrate our resistance to the surveillance state? What would be the likely consequences of a tactic like that?" Question 13: Access to CCTV footage: : Liberty Clinic 27 April 2009


I think "longusername"'s suggestion of a national request-the-footage day for CCTV data is top notch. All of us, in every town across the country sapping the collective resources of this infrastructure.

A game of dominoes anyone?
