£80k fine for cops who handed abuse suspect victim’s info
KENT Police was fined £80,000 yesterday after passing on sensitive personal information of a woman accusing her police officer partner of domestic violence to the suspect himself.
According to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), Kent Police had “inappropriate security measures” and committed a “serious breach of the law” when it handed the contents of the victim’s mobile phone to her alleged abuser’s solicitor.
The partner was later given access to the information.
