Has anyone any experience or views on the use of Section 35 (connection with legal proceedings) when a foreign police service requests information about individuals' who are believed to be important in the successful prosecution of persons who have committed serious crimes? Now, in terms of the UK police, the case I am thinking of, the information would be released, but what about police from say, Jersey or ,further afield, Canada for example? Does the DPA allow information to be shared across borders in this way, or is there other legislation that impacts on such a request? Any views on this would be most welcome. Regards, Simon Howarth.
