As far as I know access control could be a little bit different... The problem is not only regulary analysing the file but beeing able to trace employers... I'm completly agree that tracing employers is forbidden but if we're not able to reconize employers in the files, where is the problem ? I mean, if employers can only be traced as numbers and not by their names... and if we need a special clearance (in case of a security event for exemple) to translate the numbers by names ? In cctv systems it's more complicated because here we have the face.. and here I'm agree that we must not see the pictures without any security reasons. About security banners, according to the law I'm agree that they must be visible. It's true for cctv, it is true any equipements. Exemple : try to log in to an equipement and a message appear to tell you that this equipement is the property of xxx and every command passed is analysed... But do you think we should write something like "...an honeypot is used..." somewhere ?? We write that any commands is analysed but we also don't write that we implemented intrusion detection too. So, as I'm concerned, cctv systems and honeypots are not so similar problem. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Then again in other areas, if you are in the "public eye", that is to
say,
out in public, you can be filmed at will. As long as it is notdistributedas a "commerical production" and even then, if the person complaining
was
not the main focus of the event, they have no case.May be the fault is on my poor english skillz ... but you got it all
wrong.
If one is out in public area it's illegal to film/monitor, unless by the police or special service, never by "civilians". And only if there is an event/intrusion/crime the recorded images can be seen. And as several guys here sugested, a warning banner must be visible in monitored places. All of these in Portugal, and many other places in Europe. I'll not discuss here the design of closed or open surveillance systems, this is not the forum for it. But the implications of this can be for example inside a bank, where as
'we
speak' most of banks in Portugal are not respecting the law regarding cctv systems. Most of the companies (probably all less one, as far as I know) by the
same
law, are also illegal regarding access control systems. I was not thinking in me walking the dog at the park ... that's not my
field
and I don't have a dog :> My point was just 'put on the table' a known, and covered by law, issue to somehow clarify what can be important as legal issues regarding honeypots/nets. Also to point out that laws from several countries can be involved, while
in
cctv systems that is not the case. FM
