DVLA still sell your data without checks as 30,000 requests a month bypass vetting sy

......................................

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is still selling the names and addresses of motorists to wheel-clamping firms without carrying out checks on their background and credentials, despite a pledge by Ministers to introduce tougher controls.
Three years ago, the Government said more would be done to prevent data on car owners falling into the hands of rogue parking firms.
Action was promised after The Mail on Sunday disclosed that drivers' details were being sold by the DVLA for £2.50 a time to unlicensed operators and even to criminals imprisoned for extortion.

Why would Stalin give a damn about protecting private citizens?
He - and his henchmen - only give a damn about protecting their friends in city boardrooms (not the US is prosecuting these criminals - our gov't is doing nothing) so they can get that nice consulting job to supplement their obscene pensions..

What is required is for MPs to protect the public.

Clamping and fines from parking on private land have been declared to be extortion in Scotland.If there is no infringement of the Road Traffic Act 1991,then this practice should be illegal as is the release of personal details to these people,contrary to the Data Protection Act who in the majority of cases are nothing more than thugs
