I'd send them back a letter stating that you intend to merrily carry on speeding, just as before, but your actual New Year resolution is to not get caught.

Such a thought would never even cross my mind

You appear to be making the argument for the letters (how else do the police prevent crime ?) and objecting to them at the same time.

I think he is saying GDPR doesn't apply because the letters are intended to prevent crime.

Hmm. Not sure about that.

The police/ people who run the SACs can keep your details for a limited time though.

It's necessary to see if you are eligible for another SAC, etc etc.

3 years. I think.

The prevention/ detection/ investigation/ prosecution of crime would be pushing it IMO.

Like I said, completing a SAC does not mean you have been guilty of anything (no conviction, no admission of guilt).

The letter received by the op infers he has been guilty of speeding - which is another reason why I think it's wrong.

All he has admitted is that he was the driver of the vehicle at the time of the ALLEGED offence.

Quality, I've just been called a knob on the internet. How on earth am I going to get through the rest of the day?

PS. You're.

That's a tempting response, or if the OP can be arsed he could write formal letters of complaint to whoever sent him the letter, the chief constable and the local PCC. Tie 'em up in their own bureaucracy.

Or just chuck it in the recycling

As far as the BiB are concerned, I think keeping a low profile is a much better idea.
