> “If you could provide images, that would be very nice,” they told her. She gave them her email address and, within a few hours, received a demand email containing threatening legal language. She had to submit images within seven days. Refusing is a punishable offense. “I wasn’t even sure I had images, so I’m worried about what will happen if I can’t provide any,” she told BNR. This is clearly not okay. I don't think the police would take her to court either, it would be far too much cost to prove that she was knowingly withholding information. > Refusing a demand for footage is a punishable offense that can lead to a fine or a prison sentence of up to three months. How can they prove that you are refusing? What if my camera simply didn't detect motion, or I didn't pay my cloud subscription to have it uploaded and it was lost? The camera itself could be a fake and there to deter criminals. In the UK, at least where I live, the police know that they will get nowhere by making such demands.
