Sensor data

In line with other people I would be concerned about the purposes to which the collected data was to be put. As has been pointed out already transparency is key but so is accountability. So if such a scheme were to be introduced I think that the public should know who was administering it, who they reported to, who was monitoring the use made of the data and how frequently such checks were carried out.

Mass surveillance of this kind is absolutely not acceptable no matter what wrapper it comes under. It is not data collection that will improve people's lives but the basics: good affordable housing, a well maintained public transport system etc etc... We do not need to know how many people are sitting on park benches!! We do need well maintained parks and green spaces.There is so much data showing the toxicity of London air but relatively little being done about it. So much for the real value of data collection! Just another diversion...direct resources and energy into more meaningful areas of life, PLEASE.

But London Assembly are much too clever to let that happen! They don't have a fish tank, so there!.And they would never gamble with our data. I'm sure. The councillors are skilled and experienced in data processing and communications.They have explained in detail why their syatem is much more secure than say, Talktalk, Facebook, Yahoo!, Ebay, Uber, ...Haven't they? Haven't they?

I don't have any problems with sensor data and I think using it would be beneficial but this is of course on the assumption that it is purely sensor data and not linked to and completely separate from any personal data also held and the use and type of this sensor data is made public.

1) Data should not be able to identify individuals and their personnel habits (Like your Oyster Card's and ANPR Cameras that many parties currently have access to and use daily to track POI).
2) ALL data stored should be directly accessible by the public.
3) Potential for tracking of individuals should make obtaining the data in the future illegal and follow an immediate cease of activities.

Violation of any of these (Including by "Authorised parties") will lead to action by the public.

It may be important to specify that the data collected is not of a standard acceptable in a court of law. There are cases where "sciencey" or "technological" evidence has been accepted by a jury on attestation of an expert witness later proved wrong. Most devices and process for the collection of sensory data are seen as useful because they are cheap and to prove them to a standard of legal evidence might make their cost prohibitive.

If there’s money to spend (from our taxes) - spend it on staff and resources to improve our City, parks and open spaces, so we can all simply enjoy our environment.

Why are we obsessed with gathering data? There’s enough monitoring of our lives already. Monitoring tools can be used to monitor citizens’ every move, in the wrong hands this can easily translate to harassment and discrimination.

Having worked with electronic devices I know just how easy it is to misuse data that is collected by enterprises run by politicians. It does not matter how many promises that are made, if it suits their purpose they will use any data collecting device in a way not legally approved. I have no problem if the data collected is not traceable to me or my vehicle. I do not want big brother watching my every move. Unless the law concerning this proposed collection of data makes it illegal to use any of my data collected for any other reason than to assist with traffic movements and similar, I am totally opposed to this hunt for everybody's data. I am refusing my bank and others request to allow them to let others know my password. After years of being told how we should protect our passwords, the government have brought in this obtuse banking law. If you agree to allow your data to be harvested by 'Uncle Tom Cobbley and all' and do not refuse their request anybody could get their hands on your data. I have concerns in allowing politicians to know my private details. The only way to stop these concerns is to make sure that no private details are disclosed at any time, as a result of these sensors.

I don't support as the data will inevitably be collected and sold for advertising and marketing purposes - so not just used to to detect free parking spaces, but type of user, car make etc etc and I think this level of monitoring of the public is an invasion of privacy

Looks like this is police state surveillance becoming more and more evident in the UK. We've already seen how our data can be sold on e.g. with Facebook's disgraceful behaviour presently being investigated. Personal data has been mislaid or can have mistakes in it that compromises 'owners' of the data. There really is very worrying issues about security of our data with and by whoever operates 'surveillance' and digital and other data collecting systems.
