FOI on Gardai

dalalada · 2019-01-17 21:15:28

Hi, Will a freedom of info act application for the footage taken of me by a security guard on his body cam and phone be successful? I want to see and have a record of the images taken of me. I have date, time, name of guard and a video recording of the incident

FOI doesn't apply to AGS.

Gardaí don't have or use body cameras at present so I don't see how you would get that footage?

AHAHA funniest thing I've heard in so long. Man you must get brutalised by them in checkpoints. don't ever do anything wrong! you need to brush up on your rights.

I'd be looking for a refund from whoever told you your rights.

But I'm glad you got a kick out of it. I'm here to amuse.

Anyway, as I said, FOI doesn't apply to AGS. Same with data protection/GDPR etc.

Unless of course you're looking into recruitment records but I can't see how that would help you obtain cancers footage.

Best of luck with it.

If it ends up in court, you solicitor might be allowed ask for any footage.

FOIA applies to 3 different areas of the gardai. But my question is in relation to security guards.

If it’s a security guard, I’m pretty sure you can request that footage and they have to provide it due to GDPR.

I’m open to correction on this.

Afaik foi doesn’t apply here. You’re just requesting to see video footage which contains your personal data, which they are required to do according to GDPR.

As for who you apply to, I have no idea.

The Gardaí have to apply for it as along with your personal data it'll also have personal data of others and that can't be shown to you. There's also a good chance it's been deleted already.

What? This has nothing to do with the Gardai.

Foi applies to government bodies. Security guards are not government employees.
GDPR applies but only if they still retain the footage.

Good luck.
