Under the road traffic act 1988 S.170 you would be correct.


Under direction from an unrelated party NO!.


The Police would be right to take a report from the 3rd party. Police may have attended the property after 24hrs to speak with the alleged, maybe written with a S172. The police do not have the right to give personal information to the alleged "victim" to then go exact Unlawful entry and perhaps theft (bit of stretch that one though).

Police gave me a drivers details, but only after they prosecuted him for failing to stop.

Maybe i could have asked them for the details earlier? I was not expecting them to prosecute him, i was just expecting his details.

I doubt you would have been entitled to them earlier, you had them after because he was found or pled guilty, therefore gave you his details through the outcome of the offence as you were the victim. CPS letter letting you know the outcome?

otherwise he is entitled to have anonymity if he was found not guilty or not been prosecuted.

Procedure is irrelevant. As I've already explained, the police do not have the information to give. They don't know who was driving, nor who the owner is.

They know who the registered keeper is and given that an untrained in law front office staff is who the third party will have spoken to I'll let you work out what's happened.

So tell us your version of the likely events would have been?

Front line civilian staff don't have access to the systems that require you to gain this information. They have basic clearance to access basic things there is no such thing as unfettered access for all in a police station.


So please please please let's hear you're story

What if the person who is driving the vehicle at the time of the incident, isn't the same as the person who has the insurance policy on the vehicle?

or get his own insurer to pass it on to the other driver's insurer.

People who don't have fully comprehensive insurance don't have this luxury

Front office staff may well have access to the PNC, if not then they'll phone the force control room who will have.

Do tell us what's wrong with that.

Front civilian staff categorically DONT have access to PNC, Any such report of an incident that requires access to it the staff must call down an officer, who will not give out personal details because someone walked in with index number.
Phone the force control room!!:rotfl::rotfl: the civilian isn't entitled to the information. what now?
