If I may - this case really strikes me as pretty simple...
"[Name], [Age], [Location]
Arrested & Charged with Drink Driving..."
DPA Section 2(g) says that this is sensitive personal data - 'charged with' equates to the DPA's "...alleged commission by him of any offence", no two ways about it.
Schedule 1(1)(b) says that a Schedule 3 Condition is needed simply to allow processing ("Personal data ... shall not be processed unless ... - in the case of sensitive personal data, at least one of the conditions in Schedule 3 is also met.")
Unless I'm missing something obvious, I don't see anyone offering a viable Schedule 3 condition here.
If something looks like a duck, swins like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck...
