You probably own the images as it is your equipment; however, the important question is what you can do with them.

Quote from the website of the Information Commissioner's Office:
"You should remember that your use of a domestic CCTV system may be appropriate, but publicly uploading or streaming footage of identifiable people would need more justification. In most cases it would not be justifiable."

Just be aware there is a big difference between uploading to the general public on Instagram and a closed neighbourhood group such as Nextdoor. Also be mindful of what you say. Stick to the facts, no shaming or name calling and no speculation.

If the incident did not occur on your own property then definitely don't share it. If the recording shows a criminal offence send it to the police

I suppose it depends on what the idiot was doing
I dont imagine he is available to give permission

clearly none of the tv viddie clip shows would exist if the law were strict

the info commissioners advice about recording off site clearly doesnt apply ( " at my place" ) so yeah I think you can
