Sytner BMW Leicester (Avoid)

[keving1]

2 days prior I took my car to BMWMAN for oil and full a-z check over prior to my MOT so I know everything is tip-top shape

I'd be asking questions to BMWMAN and why did he miss it :thumbsdown:

My car sat there for an hour unattended, dashcam confirms that but can someone tell me why my dashcam was given back to me unplugged and an hour of footage deleted during the MOT check?

If they deleted footage from the dashcam, why did they not delete the video which shows the car waiting for 1 hour?

Seems to me you're p*ssed with Synter for your car failing the MOT for an issue the Indi should have spotted

Yes it is i guaranteee you, even the inside of your car is a public space. Synter will no doubt have CCTV in the workshop/showroom/parking areas etc. You will even find CCTV in changing areas of swimming pools, not in the cubicles but often covering transit areas and open shower areas where people are expected to be clothed.

The premises/workshop of a private corporation is not public; there is a big difference between an employer filming their employees and customers vs a member of the public filming their work practices.

OP hope you get the spring sorted.

Agree.

You can film or photograph any part of their business, including their workshop, providing that you and your equipment are located on public property, including property with assumed public access, likely to include their car park. However, should they revoke your assumed access, you have no rights on their property.

You, including covert recording, have no rights once located on their property. It’s their call.

Hi guys .
I had some work done on my car a few weeks ago and the garage specifically asked me to disconnect the dashcam re the data protection .

Your car interior is a public space in law, thats how the police can search a car without a warrant and arrest you for having lets say a knife in 'public' when its in your car. Dont believe me then ask a legal bod... Not going to argue the case I know its a fact..

Is it beyond the garages just to simply put covers over the cameras, or a cloth on the windscreen?
