Councils Use Spy Powers On Litterbugs


Still amazes me that Local councils have easier and less regulated ability to install covert cameras and surveillance devices than the police and security services. They are using the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) to spy on litter bugs, anti-social behaviour, school catchment area infringement and almost anything else they fancy.

Why is it easier for almost unregulated council employees to legally install covert surveillance equipment than it is for the police?
