CCTV on the public road

Our man in Havana · 2008-08-14 22:54:00

Is it legal for a private citizen to install a camera that records out onto the public road?

There's no problem if it's on your own property I think.

I'm not sure but I always thought that there was a requirement to display a sign saying CCTV in operation or something like that, maybe it is only for if you ever need to use the footage as evidence in any kind of court case

Planning permission may be required if it is outside the building.
