The Criminal Law in the United Kingdom creates layers of criminality, especially evident in the actions of Law Enforcement agencies allowed. The term "arrestable" empowers those agencies and are related to where a trial would take place and the length of imprisonment a guilty person could be given.

Any access to databases is governed by the aforementioned and I have no doubt, future access would have to be assessed on that; laws not guidance would have to be passed to allow access. Obviously, access to and use of the database could be applied for through the Attorney Generals Office and therefore the Upper Courts.

Though one would not expect a villain to reveal links by submitting details to a database, the ability to understand those possible future links, may not be clear to some.
