The only reason that I can think of for not using the Vital Interests 
condition is that the ICO have previously defined this as 'life or death' 
issues. Some violence markers may fall under this category, and the ICO may 
not have wanted to water down their previous guidance.

I still think that this would be preferable to going completely off 
reservation. Fairness is defined by the Act as including the need to meet a 
Schedule 2 and/or 3 condition, so how can the ICO say that a consideration 
of fairness can outweigh this requirement?

I would rely on 'vital interests' and/or a S29 exemption for prevention of 
crime.
