Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to delete police-file data concerning the 2001 complaints violated constitutional personality rights and proportionality.
Solution extraite
The retention of the data remained justified because the complaints were still potentially useful for prevention and repression of offences, especially in light of later similar conduct and a 2005 conviction.
Motifs extraits
Police records may be kept while they retain preventive or repressive utility; the court found no arbitrariness in treating the earlier complaints as relevant in view of the later conviction for similar conduct and the possibility of future review after the probation period.
