CCTV is far more prevalent and because these days police may not even look into a crime ( what a friend was told when her car was stolen) if there is no video evidence we have ring by the front door, back door and also overlooking the cars,. Even if I wanted to , which I don't for many of the reasons said below, no partying at my house then.

A minor RTA, which with so much else now days the Police didn't want to bother with.
I asked on the elderly man's behalf because the motorcycle rider didn't give his insurance details or reg number.

'Civil insurance matter'?

Bizarre. What's it got to do with your insurance company, unless you had a conviction? How would the car insurance even know unless there was a conviction which you're obliged to declare?

Bust up in hotel now. Like you've said 'her defence'. If she was afraid for her life, call the Police...CCTV required. Potential crime.

Either way, this debate started with being caught on CCTV having an affair. Cameras everywhere nowadays. If you're spouse suspects you, you're already giving something away in your actions and behaviour. If it worried you so much, don't have an affair.

It was deemed a "civil" insurance matter.
Usually any excuse will suffice because why should anyone have anything to hide in a public place !!!

He was accused of been drunk in charge of a motor vehicle which he was sleeping in with the keys in the ignition. He proved with hotel cctv, he hadn't been on the public highway that night. This was about 15 years ago. An ex girlfriend got done in the same situation last year, after having a bust up with a new boyfriend in a hotel they had been staying at. She was obviously pretty gutted when I told he this after her defence of fearing for her safety wasn't accepted and they banned her. I'm mearly saying if a spouse has suspicion it's easy to get caught out using day hotels and that risk is doubled if your both attached.
If you're a serial cheat you need to fully accept the consequences and shouldn't be staying in the relationship because your luck will run out.

Not sure that's right. Why get evidence you'd not left a hotel if the police weren't involved.

Why get evidence from the cafe, because a crime had been committed.

As for GPS, if you're going to be so paranoid about this then best just stay at home and live your life and not venture in the realms of an affair...ever.

He obtained the footage himself because he had a valid reason. It doesn't have to involve a criminal or or even a civil investigation.
Legally private CCTV should be that and not infringe on anyone else's property or privacy, but in practice it's hard to enforce.
I recently obtained cctv from a cafe covering a street where an elderly friend on a mobility scooter was hit by a unregistered enduro bike.
Disabling mobile phone tracking was mentioned and that's the same with any modern car with a can bus and built in GPS system. Anyone with the expertise can access the ECU, and see exactly where the vehicle has travelled and parked 😂😂

Anyone using Ring knows that their front door area is being filmed and their partner probably also has the app - it's just basically stupid to invite someone to your own home and wonder how your other half knew there was a vistor

'A friend got hotel footage to prove he wasn't drink driving and that the vehicle never left the hotel car park'

Yes, because he was accused of a crime. That's why he could have a copy of it to defend his case.

Access to CCTV can only be gained if a crime has been committed.

Home CCTV, you do have the right to ask a neighbour to delete any footage caught with you on. Unless you're committing a crime.
