In the forward to the new publication the Information Commissioner explains that the Code has been updated because,
"...there have been advances in the way CCTV is used, the technology employed and the wider legal environment in which it operates. There have also been developments which may help achieve more privacy friendly ways of using CCTV. This revised code builds upon the previous guidance reflecting these changes and the lessons learnt of how it is used in practice."
