Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the human rights implications of data-driven policing systems that rely on geographic and personal data.

There is a comprehensive legal framework governing the use of data by policing, such as the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984, UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Human Rights Act 1998.

The access and use of data on policing databases is reviewed and the Human Rights Act is considered and incorporated into policies relating to these datasets.
