Is it OK to take video of young kids in my yard.

Gardai have released the following CCTV screengrab of the OP

I would check with legal profession, you dont want to find your not living next door anymore

if the camera is facing towards a public road i think you must put up a surveillance sign, had this problem with our outfarm and fly tipping , ask a guard and he said sign must go up, not my fault the wind blew it away lol

Have you heard about this great concept called a "dog"?

Trained properly this thing can launch at kids in a frenzied attack tearing their shirts and sending them shrieking for shelter. It can be done with the click of one's fingers or a simple command and can be halted just as quickly.

Do not do this OP. If a dog attacks a child like this on your property, you would be legally responsible, even if they were trespassing.

I think the best advice here is the CCTV. Not only would it provide proof, it would more than likely act as a deterrent.

I'll keep the camera on my ground only, thanks for that.

Proportionality - what images will be captured?
The location of cameras is a key consideration. Use of CCTV to monitor areas where individuals would have a reasonable expectation of privacy would be difficult to justify. Toilets and rest rooms are an obvious example. To justify use in such an area, a data controller would have to demonstrate that a pattern of security breaches had occurred in the area prior to the installation of the system such as would warrant constant electronic surveillance. Where such use can be justified, the CCTV cameras should never be capable of capturing images from cubicles or urinal areas

Cameras placed so as to record external areas should be positioned in such a way as to prevent or minimise recording of passers-by or of another person's private property.

Proportionality - Recommendations
Under this principle, this Office would expect that a data controller would have carried out detailed assessments as to how the use of such equipment meets with these requirements and would have the following steps carried out and documented:

A Risk Assessment
A Privacy Impact Assessment
A Specific Data Protection policy drawn up for use of the devices in a limited and defined set of circumstances only (this policy should include documented data retention and disposal policy for the footage)
Documentary evidence of previous incidents giving rise to security/health and safety concerns
Clear signage indicating image recording in operation.



just so you dont draw trouble on yourself, always some busybody ready to throw the book at you and parents protecting their kids will do just that

Keep asking them do they like sweets and little kittens and puppies....
