The Data Protection Act is a very complex document which is there to protect the individual.

However as far as the Police are concerned it is very frustrating. In my job we very often contact the Police for information on individuals in connection with Court proceedings to be met with 'no can do' responses. In many cases this has led to further incidents occurring. The Soham case I'm afraid is only the tip of the iceberg. The Act needs a very thorough make over.
