Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the implications for her policies on the storage by police of custody images of people who have not been convicted of the judgment in RMC and FJ v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and Secretary of State for the Home Department [2012] EWHC 1681 (Admin).

It is police forces’ responsibility to comply with the judgment.

Since the judgment those not convicted of an offence have the right to request deletion of their custody image, with a presumption in favour, and the police have issued guidance for people in custody setting out those rights.
