permit the unacceptable

Happy Data Protection Day.
This is perhaps an appropriate day to read the National Security Certificate
signed by Theresa May, Home Secretary, in 2011; it involves the capture of
images from Transport for London's (TfL's) Congestion Charge CCTV/ANPR
cameras and their onward disclosure, via the Metropolitan Police, to the
national security agencies.
In summary, the Certificate is broadly drafted and allows for disclosures
for purposes that are not necessary for the functions of the national
security agencies; the drafting could even permits transfers to dodgy
countries for any purpose. I show why in this blog.
