Default Question for our Dave

On the ULEZ data protection issue, surely
notification of an offence would also be breaching DP? Perhaps they have
given themselves special dispensation.


The ULEZ is a charging scheme made under the GLA Act 1999 which gives
them statutory power to issue penalty charges to registered keepers.
And of course when they post it to the registered keeper they don't have
the problem of verifying identity as they do when someone phones or
emails them.

For completeness, it seems to me that someone who suspects a partner
could access the information if they set up an account so the charge is
paid automatically. I suspect - but don't know - that avoids problems
with data protection because they verify that the person registering to
pay is the registered keeper.
