Access to Vehicle Owner Details
Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,
I am aware that the police service to access vehicle owner details use the PNC system. Staff who use this system are subject to vetting and there are also regulars audits. Members of the Police Service have also been prosecuted when such data has wrongly been issued.
It is well documented that some of those involved in private parking companies have links to criminality.
1) Have the DVLA considered the above ?
2) How does the DVLA ensure that firms are subject to vetting ( for the avoidance of doubt membership of a tarred body is not vetting).
3) How does the DVLA know that data has not been used for nefarious purpose.
4) In 2022 how many drivers details were disclosed to private companies ?
Yours faithfully,
Michael Goodwin
