Hi All
My understanding is that the information requested under Section 29 (3) of
the 1998 Act, has to be accompaned by a full reason of why the information
is sort. Part of this reason must state if the enquiry is for
a) The prevention or detection of crime
b) The apprehension or prosecution of offenders
It should clearly state the 'Nature of the enquiry'
And
Why the information is sort.
The request must be signed by a rank of at least one above that of the
requesting officer... at least of the rank of Inspector.
It is also my understanding that if you feel that the reason the informatin is
sort, bears no relevence to the Police enquiry, you are at libity to refuse the
release of any information, such as was previously stated by Doreen Broom
'A late payment of a fine relating to a minor traffice offence'.
