Are the police allowed to give addresses of registered keepers over the phone. I had parked across a gate (which of course I shouldn't have), then I got a knock on my door asking me to move it. Not a problem, but the woman claimed she had got my address (not my name, as if that makes much difference) from the police. Given that I wasn't committing any criminal offence AFAIK (parked on public highway), surely this is a breach of data protection law?
