No, the DPA does not apply to data used for law enforcement purposes,
especially if a court grant a warrant for seizure and/or use of said
data. Nor does it apply to data used for a specified, legal purpose, in
this case, the apprehension of an alleged offender.

Interestingly, the Police ANPR cameras log every single number plate &

All the others are kept on a database. When looking for a local scrote
to arrest for not turning up at court, they interrogate the database for
his car reg & look for patterns of travel.

Once a pattern is established - they just wait in the right place.
