If so then someone should be having a word as the police shouldn't have access to those databases without the proper legal mandates,
Valid point, except there's 'prior art/activity' in form of Security Agencies having all the access they want without having proper legal mandate. It would be good if these types of rulings filtered the other way such that the agencies were forced to acquire proper mandate. But it will probably go the other way whereby the plod will receive greater power.
