From the site of the Information Commissioner:

Quote:
All public and private organisations are legally obliged to protect any personal information they hold.

The Data Protection Act gives you the right to know what information is held about you, and sets out rules to make sure that this information is handled properly.
I am still researching the various links I have found, but I found a clear case where a video was covered by DPA, or so the authority holding it acknowledged, but I want a more solid reference as they refused to disclose it as it was used for law enforcement. There is a mass of information out there, but the owners of the video didn't claim copyright, but an exemption. I only have so much time to research all this as I have to look after 2 law cases of my own before I go away for a few weeks.
