Group,
Section 28(3) DPA 1984 has been replaced by sect29(3) DPA 1998. I understand that when the police request personal data from you it should be in writing, signed by a police officer at least one rank above the requesting officer, at least of the rank of Inspector. I cannot find this mentioned in the DPA 1998 and am assuming that this is best practice as agreed between the Commissioner and The Association Of Chief Police Officers and faliure to comply could be a breach of the fairness aspect of Principle 1. If I am right surely this is a breach by the police and not me if my notification includes the police as a recipient .
Your comments are welcome.
Chris Brogan
