Solicitors acting on behalf of the National Union of Journalists have issued a letter of complaint to the new information commissioner Christopher Graham after the Metropolitan Police failed to deliver all files held on five UK journalists.
Data Protection requests were issued nearly eight months ago. The Metropolitan police have repeatedly denied they hold files of UK journalists on the criminal intelligence or other databases.
Evidence has emerged that files are being held but have not been released despite repeated requests. The NUJ letter now calls on the information commissioner to investigate the matter and confirm that the Meptropolitan police will not delete files before being made public.

Good work. This needs to widely seen. It's not just photographers, they'll also be building you into these databases that they don't have.
We broke this story at EPUK and The Guardian ran with it at http://bit.ly/CrO9O. There's more to come...
