Lord Falconer has criticised the police force for their reluctance to
disclose the images, and as I was listening to the news on the way back to
work 20 minutes ago, BBC News announced that the photos would now be
disclosed. Funny how suddenly they feel able to do this.

Subject: [data-protection] Disclosure
I have just read an article about two escaped murderers from Sudbury prison
and Derbyshire POlice are refusing to release photographs of them as it is
not in the public interest, their human rights could be breached and the
Data Protection Act. Apparently ACPO have stated that photographs should
only be released in exceptional circumstances where officers believe that
the suspects may be a danger to the public.
Am I missing something here?
