What happened
The ICO decided that Devon and Cornwall Police rightly refused to disclose information about the death of a man with mental health issues who had been restrained with an emergency response belt while in police custody. It considered the information personal data and it found that disclosure would be generally unlawful, since the admitted legal basis of legitimate interest is not sufficient to outweigh the data subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms.
