I agree - I don't think there is a reasonable or rational basis for the length of retention (assuming the stories as reported are accurate)

I thought that the Police do have retention schedules i.e. driving offences (speeding) etc are deleted after a certain period of time and would have thought that the sort of offences referred to were minor ones which had been done when they were juveniles...and they were never likely to become major criminals and would have to agree with IC.

Richard Thomas also told the Bichard enquiry, in relation to retention
periods:
""[The Information Commissioner's] office cannot and should not substitute [their] judgement for that of experienced practitioners. If a reasonable and rational basis exists for a decision, that should be the end of the story."
Has he changed his mind, or is he saying now that either these four police forces are not 'experienced practitioners' or that they have no 'reasonable and rational' basis for their retention of the data?

Yes - I saw that too and I think Mr Thomas should not have disclosed the information until the Appeal had been heard. However, I suppose we are all human....
