West Midlands Police wrapped for data snafu
Briefly

Britain's data watchdog says the force 'incorrectly linked and merged the records' of individuals sharing the same name and date of birth, leading to a litany of mistakes.
WMP didn't take steps to rectify the error quickly enough and there was a failure to stop the inaccurate linking of records reoccurring, both breaches of data protection law.
