Each time the database is searched, that search is logged against the user’s identity. They randomly dip test the searches carried out and the person performing it has to prove that it was for a lawful policing purpose. If they can’t, without question, they will be sacked and prosecuted. This used to happen frequently and now anyone using the system is very aware of the consequences.So would you say that its very likely several newspaper reporters (they will already know DCs car number plate) will have already bribed people to interrogate the data base, and as nothing has been reported then there is no evidence of him making the second trip North?
Wouldn't foreign security services such as the Russians consider doing the same thing to get some kompromat on an important person like Cumming, it might pay off very handsomely in years to come. In a similar fashion to what Putin has possible got on Trump.
Some number plates will trigger and immediate investigation if searched for on ANPR. Cummings’s number plate will be on that list. I have no doubt that his plate will have been searched lawfully at some time during the course of this debacle, but what happens with the search return is another matter.
I have a feeling the filth can only keep the data for 30 days unless it’s classed as evidence within that period. They can’t keep it just in case it becomes useful at some time after 30 days has elapsed.
