Data Protection Day: Home Secretary signs a national security certificate to permit the unacceptable
Just published on Hawktalk: http://amberhawk.typepad.com/amberhawk/
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.
