does anyone know how long recording on town centre cctv cameras are kept for. my son was involved in a fighting incident at the end of december. would it still be on the database, i was told they only keep them for on for 30 days only. is this true...

[hoviss00]

the police have just been notified this week, about a fight in town that happened at the end of december. just worried in case it is found.
thanks if anyone can help..

[Count-A-Strong]

Probably depends on the authority and how big a hard drive they've got.

[hoviss00]

ok.if the police are going to start looking say this week for evidance on the cctv from the end of dec, could they find it.? after this lengh of time.

[Count-A-Strong]

Well obviously if they still have the recording.

[hoviss00]

just hoping it has been recorded over.??

[AlBags]

Well ... How else would the police become aware of the fight?
Someone at the monitoring unit just remembered they saw a fight on the CCTV in December, maybe.

[Count-A-Strong]

Some authorities keep them for a minimum of 28 days eg Exeter. Where did this occur?

[DTCwordfan]

Penzance and Camborne, near here, you are ok. They can't operate the cameras as the 6th finger gets in the way

[hoviss00]

they found out by some girl just turning up at the police station. reporting it.
it is in tameside manchester.

and this is separate from his court case earlier this week?

[Count-A-Strong]

So have charges been brought or any arrests or cautions made?

[hoviss00]

no arrests have been made yet.?, only if they find it on cctv. they said they would be lookin at the cameras for evidence.
