Despite scandals such as officers accessing the files of Sarah Everard, the police no longer have to record why they're accessing someone’s data on a police database under the UK Data Bill.

🚨 BREAKING: DATA RIGHTS 🚨

Losing our adequacy status when the UK government is trying to grow the economy would be disastrous.
