True, the charge sheet is a bit faulty.  Claiming it was un-authorized access, the employer can contradict and claim otherwise i.e the employees had valid access to the footage.

I think the charge sheet could have been framed better under the new Data Protection Act of 2019.

The company & its employees violated the purpose limitation principle which states that data collected and processed for a particular legitimate purpose (e.g security surveillance) cannot be re-purposed and used for another agenda (e.g gossip, lighting up the internet, or reporting my movement to spouse ;-)

A charge sheet based on data protection principle may have a higher chance of success and maybe better penalties.

Hello David,

This can be found in the Cyber Crime Act.
Unless the charge sheet is amended otherwise. ( ''An authorized interception of a computer data contrary to section 17(1) of computer misuse and cybercrime act'' )
On the contrary, someone said the ''employer'' can move down to the employment contract  on the do's and dont's.
