Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact on privacy of the use of Sentio speed cameras.

All speed cameras undergo the Home Office Type Approval requirements and testing regime before they can be used in court proceedings without the need for other corroborative evidence. The Sensio speed camera is currently undergoing Type Approval for use in detecting speed offences.

Police forces are required to comply with the data principles contained within UK GDPR part 2 general processing and the DPA 2018 part 3 for law enforcement when processing personal data. The use of speed camera devices should be necessary and proportionate in line with these principles.
