Rubina Hafizi did
not write this document (CCTV Code of practice). She has however taken the credit for it by having her name included on every page of it:
Author: Rubena HafiziIt has however been extensively copied from London Councils.

It is
not the Code of Practice that Medway were using in August 2011. Rubina also wrongly claimed the credit for this earlier (version 2) document. The version 2 document had also been extensively copied from London Councils. It was intended for use for Fixed Camera CCTV enforcement
only. Medway were using and sending out this earlier document in August 2011 for MEV contraventions. This version 2 document was also routinely ignored by Medway. The V. 2 Doc. was dated March 2008.
The parts of it that Medway ignored and contravened were brought to the attention of the Adjudicator in the appeal that I conducted. We are awaiting the result of this.
The fact that Medway have now issued this new and
backdated Code of Practice means that they have shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. It also confirms my ground that they were not operating in accordance with the earlier code. That is why they have replaced it.
