Use of Non-Police Images on Records

British Transport Police did not have the information requested.

Timothy Daniels

Dear British Transport Police,

I have witnessed first-hand that officers of the BTP sometimes take photographs from social media sites such as Facebook and use them on BTP systems (for example a person in custody who is too aggressive to be photographed may have a photograph from their Facebook account used as their custody record photograph).

- What is BTP policy on the use of images from 'the internet' as a replacement for images taken by BTP staff/officers?

- What exemption from from the Copyrights, Designs and Patents act |(or other relevant legislation) do you employ which permits you to use an image to which the copyright lies not with the BTP and for which permission to use has not been provided by the rights holder?

Yours faithfully,
Tim Daniels
