The very fact that different police forces
work differently with regard to it shows this, they are just going on

The Data Protection Act is very 'wooly' and has more holes in it than a

And the toerags responsible for this defective legislation have stepped

involved in passing legislation again, and gone off to a
monastery or convent as applicable.

Ho ho ho.
