Subject: [data-protection] Exemption from DP Certificate

You may remember the story a month or so ago about the Certificate signed by the Home Secretary exempting police from the Data Protection Act when accessing information from TfL's congestion charging cameras. Having never seen a certificate such as this before, I looked around and couldn't find a copy, so I made an FOI request to the Home Office for one, and I received it yesterday.

I remain convinced that they could have done the same job within the DP framework, but that's an argument for another time. The certificate I have is a hard copy, but they should be putting it into the Home Office disclosure log (the letter says that the certificate will be published simultaneously with the release to me), so if you want to have a look at it, keep your eye on the Home Office website. This probably won't be the last time such a certificate is obtained, so watch that space.
