Is security video taken on outdoor condo property protected under the Privacy Act in Ontario, Canada?
Find answers to your legal question.

My Husband's car was hit by a car exiting the parking garage in the private driveway of the condo where we live. He reviewed the tape on the security monitor and it clearly shows that the other driver was at fault. However, the property mamgement will not release the segment of the video to us claiming it violates the privacy act and that only the police can request it. Is this true? This tape would be extremely helpful for insurance purposes and in the event of a lawsuit. Is there any way to get a hold of the footage?
Additional Details
unfortunately the police will not get involved to investigate b/c it happened on private property, not a public road. they will only get involved if someone was injured or there was damage to property (ie. lamposts or someone's lawn)

They can not give you the tape they can not give the tape to a private citizen. As the management told you the police can request it in their investigation of the accident. You can more than likely get what you need from them.
