DPA and anything to do with telcoms data is dead and buried.
But what are the police asking for - just traffic data regarding who
sent an email and when? Or are they asking for content? The latter, for
a delivered email, probably requires a court order.
ps. You should never discuss any of the above with individual officers,
but with that force's SPoC (single point of contact), and individual
officers know that. SPoCs should know better (for a year now) than to
try it on with 29(3) for telecoms data.
