Civil claims and third party requests
We can provide recordings from Public Space Surveillance (PSS) cameras for civil claims between individuals or companies. The most common requests are due to road traffic collisions.
If you have been the victim of a crime, been involved in a road traffic collision, or are an insurance company or legal representative, we are unable to accept Subject Access Requests in these instances as we can only provide images of you and not of third parties though the SARs process.
If you have been the victim of a crime, or it is a crime-related incident you should report the matter to the police by calling either 999 in an emergency, or 101 in a non-emergency, to obtain a police incident / crime reference number. The police can make a request direct to us to view our footage, which will be provided to the investigating officer if available.
If you have been involved in a road traffic collision and believe there maybe Lambeth CCTV footage, then you should contact your insurance company or solicitor to request the footage under Schedule 2, Part 1(5) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
