CCTV in taxis and minicabs etc: TfL consultation

Transport for London (TfL)  is seeking views on the use of in-vehicle CCTV in taxis (black cabs) and private hire vehicles (including minicabs) in London.

TfL is interested in your views on the following:

  • Do you think all taxis (black cabs) and PHVs (including minicabs) in London should have in-vehicle CCTV fitted as a mandatory requirement or should the current position of allowing vehicle owners to choose to fit in-vehicle CCTV systems be maintained
  • What are your views of the local considerations to take into account in London and how this affects whether in-vehicle CCTV should be mandatory in all London licensed taxis and PHVs
  • What positive impacts you think could be achieved if in-vehicle CCTV was in operation in all London licensed taxis and PHVs
  • What adverse impacts you think may arise if in-vehicle CCTV was in operation in all London licensed taxis and PHVs

You can let TfL have your views by completing their survey, and visit the consultation website for more information. The closing date for responses is Monday 22 March 2021.
