They also seem to think that I was planning something naughty for one/all of the hotels which were housing police officers,( as if!) and seem rather disturbed about me moving my tent and keeping an eye on them.
They are not giving me any stop and search forms or anything really interesting but I am just interested in whether or not other people have had the same sort of stuff mainly a refusal to give the forms.
When I spoke to the person who was dealing with all of this she said she was snowed under using this as an excuse to breach the 40 day limit the Data Protection Act dictates (by over a week). Of course we can not allow such wanton lawbreaking to continue unabated so I have complained to the Information Commissioner about the lateness of the information and wondered if anyone else has be treated in the same way?.

Though you should complain to the Information Commissioner. They should follow the law.

Maybe this woman thinks that the Information requests are stupid and she is allowed to break the law. How is that different to tearing down some billboard signs which is also against the law?

one rule for us, and another rule for them

As for breaking the law, I'd hope that most people who advocate any such thing, do so for lawful reason.
Like the fireman who causes property damage to save children from a burning building.
Intruding on the private land of a power station, may be lawfully justified if it is genuinely an attempt to prevent greater crime, if the perpetrator can convincingly explain how, to a jury.
Taking property of some one, or imprisoning them, may be lawful, if it is genuinely an attempt to prevent criminal damage, if the perpetrator can convincingly explain how, to a jury.
The difference is that it is easy for the police to get the public before a jury, but it is almost impossible for the public get police before a jury. It's one rule for us, and another rule for them.
And increasingly public jurys are being replaced a judge from a ruling elite.

rule changes - urgent interest!

In order to find out what ranks above "urgent interest" i suggest that you do the following:
1) visit the following site:
2) splash out on the obvious publication on sale there.
3) run classes on the subject matter.
4) after a suitable period of time put in another dpa request, pointing out the new penalties for non complience.
Be well, be seeing you!
