UK Cop's Mother-In-Law accidentally tosses sensitive registrant info in trash and ends up in trashy newspaper

Despite the name of the award I give to dumbest cop of the year, most KeyStone Kop of the Year nominees land here for malicious actions taken against Registered Persons. This is not one of those cases. In the UK (unlike here in the fascist USA), info on registered persons are generally not publicly disclosed.  But this guy was negligent in securing sensitive documents. This guy needs the paper that Chief Quimby uses on all those memos to Inspector Gadget. Wowzers!
