S4E6 - Holding data of people vulnerable to radicalisation

PLOD - Police Law On Demand Season 4 Episode 6

 If concerns are raised that a person might be vulnerable to radicalisation, how long can a police force hold data about that person? Daniel Berke and barrister Rachael Gourley discuss the decision of The High Court in a recent case which held that the police’s continued retention of data of a sixteen-year-old was contrary to the Data Protection Act 2018 and Article 8.
