You are a shining example of "a little knowledge is dangerous".
I'd suggest you clue yourself up before applying something completely
out of context to what the OP asked.
As I pointed out already in this thread:
<QUOTE>
Such unauthorised recording is in contravention of Article 8 of the
European Convention on Human Rights which was introduced into UK law by
the Human Rights Act 1998.
There are exceptions of course, i.e.
o Acting in the interests of national security, public safety
or the economic well-being of the country.
o Acting for the prevention of disorder or crime.
o Acting for the protection of public health or morals.
These are specified in the HRA (1998), but I find it hard to see that
Ann can include her specific case in any of the above.
</QUOTE>
Your example is within the context of "Acting for the prevention of
disorder or crime", while Anne's is OUTSIDE the exceptions listed in the
HRA (1998) above - so is not only inadmissible in court, but is in
itself illegal. And because it is illegal, could be (and likely would
be) used as a reason to refuse treatment by the relevant LHA.
