I have been told by Wick Sheriff officers that court appearances and sentences are now protected under the data protection Act . They made it clear that ALL convictions are protected and not even a court order would allow they to release any information. What is the world coming to when the guilty are protected and the innocent are subject to secrecy from those who have been found guilty and loving on the area with the protection of the police and courts willing to stand by them .

The Caithness Courier & John O'Groat Journal print court appearance convictions. Maybe remind them of this too.
