Bring the chainsaw in by the fire and start sharpening the chain! And if your mother says anything, divert her attention by asking did she get a new butterdish yet!

I will never complain about taking stitches out of cows again. Took them out of the neighbours cat there now (he had an ear removed)
At least I don't have to sit on a spitting cow while owners hide the other side of the kitchen:rolleyes:

Man who captured thieves on film forced to remove footage from website
Wed, 12 Feb 2014
The Data Protection Commissioner has instructed the founder of a website - which posts CCTV footage of criminals in the act of crimes - to remove the footage.

Robert Waters set up crimecctv.com earlier this month in an effort to raise awareness about the burgalary on his house in Killiney, Co Dublin on December 12.

The CCTV footage shows the thieves climbing the wall outside his house, breaking entry into his house through the back window and leaving again four minutes later.

The four thieves took his wife’s jewellery, small electric items, his phone, and money after ransacking his house.

He told RTE’s Liveline today: “There were four people jumping over the wall of my property. They were masked and they were gloved.”

“They all entered into my house and they left within four minutes.”

“Gardai have acknowledged it as a crime event,” he said.

To his surprise, Mr Waters received a letter from the Data Protection Commissioner, asking that he remove the footage from his website.

The letter told Mr Waters that he doesn’t have permission to make the footage public, because of protection under the law.

“The images that are captured on film are personal data,” the letter said.

Today, Mr Waters said: “Unless I get the criminal’s consent, I’m committing a crime,”

“It is a crazy situation. Every person that I’ve said this to has said ‘I can’t believe it’…it’s purely based on an effort to end crime in your community.”

“It’s supported by hundreds, if not thousands, of people.”

“It’s personal household CCTV footage. I put the cameras up during the summer as part of a home improvement project.”

“I just missed these [burglars] by seconds. We had just left the house. We missed them in minutes.”

Mr Waters’s footage has had thousands of views on Youtube, and he has had hundreds of people contacting him on Facebook.

Today, he told independent.ie that he will now remove the footage because he doesn’t want to break the law.

However, he said: “This [legislation] is something that maybe needs to be changed. I think people have a right to see these very clear-cut images.”

“It’s a ridiculous situation to be in and I just would put a call out to see if it can be corrected. Obviously this is our legislation.”

“I haven’t taken it down yet because it takes me a little bit of time to take something back down.”well I've seen it all now

If you think about it, this ruling/request to have the footage removed, effectively bans all broadcasting. No more RTE filming in the street, with members of the public in view. No more broadcasting of football matches, if any of the spectators are caught on camera. This is more about sparing the Gardai's embaressment at not being able tcatch the burglers,

I'm not up to speed on the specific legislation but is it illegal to record someone on your own property (even if you may have signs to that effect) or is it illegal to publish said recordings?

Nekarsulm

Don't know, but I am writing to The Data Protection Commission to complain about my image being broadcast on RTE at the recent Ireland Scotland Rugby match. And see what happens. If John Waters can get 30k, its worth a shot!

If they reply that by purchasing a ticket, I was giving permission, then I would argue that by jumping that mans wall and trespassing, those 4 lads were doing likewise.

If CCTV images cannot be made public, then they cannot be used in Court.

I'll send you a link to a photo of him when he's fully healed. He looks like I got at him with a chainsaw at the moment.

Still no power here. Have the generator, however the well is on a different circuit, so no water at all, which is a far bigger problem, just about got the machine washed out, but the cows will definitely need some soon.

Beef trial looks like it's worth trying now alright. The autumn version wasn't and didn't get enough interest.

Hooked up the cheap crappy lidi genny we have up to the pump in the well, did the trick nicely! No sign of the ESB crew coming out to fix the lines, and they'll be a good few hours at it when they eventually come. Thank god for generators!

I went into our one in galway today and was pleasantly surprised , I was seen and sorted out in about half an hour . It would have taken me longer to sort out over the phone I'd say
