I’m not surprised that the police wanted this information. The police are perfectly welcome to want any information, and in most cases can ask you for it, regardless of if you’re allowed to give it away.

I’d support penalties for both the police and disclosing organisation if it turns out that the police are using information that was acquired unlawfully in some way.
