Security camera revealed the moment of the crash of Spain’s most tragic train mishap killing at least 80 people with dozens injured at Galicia region on July 24.
The disturbing footage taken from a CCTV, showed the train entering a sharp bend at high speed, coming off the rails with carriages smashing into the wall. A carriage appeared to have jumped causing a domino effect on the train.
CCTV Footage Aids in Investigation
The CCTV footage released after Spain’s tragic train crash helps a lot in the investigation. It shows the world what really happened that day aiding investigators and prosecutors. It demonstrates what went wrong and what needs to be fixed with rail systems.
According to Deputy Chief Constable Graeme Gerrard of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), when an incident happens, a CCTV is a vital element of the investigative process. It is not an understatement to say now that the first piece of evidence that an investigating officer will go looking for is the CCTV evidence. The first investigative action very often is to secure all available CCTV evidence.
CCTV footage is not only helpful in accident and crime investigations, it can also be used for your advantage in accident claims. Let us say, you got involved in a road accident caught on camera where the liability is in dispute. The footage can actually be used as evidence. Can you get hold of the footage? Yes, you can.
As per the Data Protection Act a person has the privilege to view any recorded images of himself/herself that have been captured on camera.
To obtain a copy of the recording, contact the authorities who operate it and request for a copy. If they refuse, consult a legal advisor for further assistance.
