dash cams

[labrat]

hate to say it but I might have lost someone their job

 

cut me up at a give way

 

further down road he cut someone up so badly at a give way that they had to move out of his way

shame he was in a marked work van

 

mailed the company just asked if their drivers could be more considerate mentioned it was on camera. They asked to see video then said they knew driver and would deal with him

 

then today got this

 

It has been bought to my attention a video you have taken of me driving my work van last week.looks like you have gone out of your way and taken up your time to e-mail my place of work! what you didnt realise is that there was enough distance for me to pass first under the bridge and that the driver coming towards me actually sped up on purpose towards me to make it difficult to pass!

 

Do realise going out of your way to e-mail companys your tell tail dash cam videos can lose people there jobs !!!!

 

Would you like to forward me your address so i can call round to see you and discuss my driving style with YOU PERSONALLY !!!!!!

 

If not for some strange reason we have 2 mutual friends on facebook im sure they will help me and let me know of your address so i can call round to SEE YOU!!!

 

think someone got in trouble

[colin11]

He should learn to drive a bit more courteously, And that sounds like a treat, I would take it to the police

[silverfox1961]

I would show that to your local plod. That message is full of suggestive meanings. Implying violence?

 

How did he get your details from the company? That should be confidential.

[Conniff]

He probably was the boss.

[SabreSheep]

I would also notify the company as well

[stu007]

Also have a word with the Information Commissioners Office as pointed out how did they get confidential details from the company.

[labrat]

I've forwarded it back to the boss

 

to be fair I plan to just ignore him if he plans to come round the entire house is ringed with cctv

 

as for getting details im guessing name was from email

the email he sent me was from the same email address I emailed to but a differnt reply thread to the boss one

I've lost 2 people their jobs when I caught them fly tipping in my local area. It was a sign written charity van. The local paper picked up on it, as well as a BBC show about the environment. They both lost their jobs. Be careful to leave out any personal information during these complaints.

 

There is also another one I caught recently of a Royal Mail van going right though a red light. I wound down my window when he pulled over to inform him of the fact, and he stuck his fingers up at me...

[labrat]

Since had another similar email so made video public

 

[JoeyJoeC]

Personally I don't think that was that bad. There was enough room for both to go past.

 

Edit: Didn't see the give way sign on my phone! Yep this guy is an idiot.

 

I'd suggest to go to the police if you get any more threats.

[JoeyJoeC]

Wow! If anything, he is defaming his own company by driving around like a edited

Video was taken in the public domain, so no issues there.

 

Submit it to a couple of the bad driving compilation channels on YouTube such as Dash Cam UK, Dash Cam Network, and WelshDrive.

...defamation of company brand...

thats funny.

re a company; truth is, company driver failed to give way to oncoming traffic. and whomever, has sent poss 'abusive'/threatening emails. whether the boss, or a vicarious employee. and, even if not deemed true, they wld need to show 'serious financial loss' as a result.

as conniff suggests, maybe was (one of) the bosses.

whomever, the nature of his emails may no doubt add to the reflection of the nature of his driving?

Is it really possible to argue that you can't post, in public, a video of something that happened in public? Weird times.

[Guest]

He probably was the boss.

Improper use of postal and electronic communications

 

Improper use of public electronic communications network - Communications Act 2003, section 127

 

The Communications Act 2003 section 127, see Stones 8.30110B, covers the sending of improper messages. Section 127(1)(a) relates to a message etc that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character and should be used for indecent phone calls and emails. Section 127(2) targets false messages and persistent misuse intended to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety; it includes somebody who persistently makes silent phone calls (usually covered with only one information because the gravamen is one of persistently telephoning rendering separate charges for each call unnecessary).

If a message sent is grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, menacing or false it is irrelevant whether it was received. The offence is one of sending, so it is committed when the sending takes place. The test for "grossly offensive" was stated by the House of Lords in DPP v Collins [2006] 1 WLR 2223 to be whether the message would cause gross offence to those to whom it relates (in that case ethnic minorities), who need not be the recipients. The case also said that it is justifiable under ECHR Art 10(2) to prosecute somebody who has used the public telecommunications system to leave racist messages.

A person guilty of an offence under section 127 CA 2003 shall be liable, on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine or to both. This offence is part of the fixed penalty scheme.

It is more appropriate to charge bomb hoaxes under section 51 of the Criminal Law Act 1977. See Chambers v DPP [2012] EWHC 2157 (Admin) , and Public Order Offences, elsewhere in the Legal Guidance.

Section 127 can be used as an alternative offence to such crimes for example as hate crime (including race, religion, disability, homophobic, sexual orientation, and transphobic crime), hacking offences, cyber bullying, cyber stalking, amongst others.
