===Paying for footage under investigation===
In 2015, following the [[November 2015 Paris attacks]], the French police viewed the footage of the attacks from the CCTV system of [[November 2015 Paris attacks#Rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi|La Casa Nostra]]. After making a copy on a [[USB flash drive]], the police ordered a technician from the CCTV company that installed the system to encrypt the footage, saying 'this now falls under the confidentiality of the investigation, it must remain here'. Freelance journalist Djaffer Ait Aoudia told ''[[The Guardian]]'' that he secretly filmed a ''Daily Mail'' representative negotiating with the owner to sell the CCTV footage of the attacks. The café owner agreed to supply the footage for €50,000 and asked an IT technician to make the footage accessible again. ''The Daily Mail'' responded: "There is nothing controversial about the Mail's acquisition of this video, a copy of which the police already had in their possession." ''The Guardian'' also, briefly, embedded the footage on their own website before removing it.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Johnston |first1=Chris |last2=Henley |first2=Jon |last3=Willsher |first3=Kim |last4=Martinson |first4=Jane |title=Daily Mail accused of paying €50,000 for CCTV video of Paris attack |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/nov/24/daily-mail-cctv-video-paris-attack |work=The Guardian |date=24 November 2015 |access-date=12 January 2016 |archive-date=8 May 2017 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170508042937/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/nov/24/daily-mail-cctv-video-paris-attack |url-status=live }}</ref>
