Question

The MPS privacy impact assessment relating to access to ANPR data collected by TfL - which was published alongside Mayoral Decisions 1439 - states that the project does not include provision for the overview of a vehicle, but that access to these images may be considered in the future. Would the extension of access by the Metropolitan Police Service to such images held by TfL only be permitted following a further consultation exercise?

No further authority or recourse to consultation would be required to gather imagery. The Information Commissioner’s Office has stated that they would prefer the MPS to have overview imagery as they believe this would reduce the number of 'false reads'.
