Newham Council Audit Fail! Police Get Owned!

Took a stroll down to one of the Newham Council Office buildings for an Audit which they failed miserably!!
A council official happened to be the first person to bring up the good old "hostile reconnaissance" line in my role as an auditor.
Again being told by a misinformed public servant that I'm breaching GDPR. I think all public servants need some updated training on this matter
plain clothes officers based at the Council building (more than a little strange) tried and failed to infringe on my rights by getting me to leave.

[@vinniechudam1835]

I have always wondered what building this was when I flew into City airport, it's just massive. The question here is how many millions of £££ of taxpayers money did Newham council spend on this monstrosity of a building? It's bloody larger than the airport terminal across. How much money was wasted on the palm trees? Absolutely ridiculous that Newham council have rude and uneducated council employees working in luxurious offices. I wouldn't be surprised if Newham declared itself bankrupt, just like Croydon council recently.

[@mariatamas8168]

I suspect there is a lot more money wasted all over Newham on Schools renewals, Mosques and probably benefits

[@cupidstunts.stcmedia.6618]

Built in 2013 at an eye watering cost of £110 million+ of tax funds with designer light fittings costing £1.800 each. Absolutely absurd 🤬

I’ve just read the laws about public and GDPR and it says this If an individual is in a public place or in a public right of way and is not collecting or processing personal data in a professional or commercial capacity, they are not usually considered a data controller or processor under the GDPR. Therefore, they would not typically be liable for GDPR compliance in such a situation. However, if the individual is collecting or processing personal data in a public place or in a public right of way, they may still be subject to GDPR requirements. For example, if an individual were to take photographs or record videos of people in a public place and share them online or with others, they would be considered a data controller and would need to comply with GDPR requirements, such as obtaining the individuals' consent to collect and share their data. It is important for individuals to be aware of GDPR requirements and to ensure that they are complying with them when collecting or processing personal data, regardless of where they are doing so. So it seems you are actually breaking GDPR

[@philsMLC]

@@LesterCrest.I doesn't apply for "personal social media use"......nice try!

[@LesterCrest.I]

@@philsMLC phill did you even read the Law. That clearly states if an individual were to take photographs or record videos of people in a public place and share them online or with others, they would be considered a data controller and would need to comply with GDPR requirements, such as obtaining the individuals' consent to collect and share their data.

Wow awesome audit LA made me think about all the homeless people and families living in poor cramped accommodation waiting years to be rehoused and cost of housing now and that council spent tax payer's money for their own comfort at work. Their reaction to you with a camera in a public place to look at their impressive building was insulting to the British public who paid for it. Their feelings are clearly more of a priority and requires two police officers to protect them whilst the rest of us struggle with stress and anxiety trying to keep a roof above our heads. The homeless should take shelter in their public entrance, maybe they could get over their entitled feelings and do their job in their very nice office and help the public.
