Subject: Official Information Act request - Official information
regarding A.O.S use and police conduct

     Dear New Zealand Police,
    
     I would like to request any statistics/information held regarding
     the use of Armed Offenders Squad New Zealand in situations where
     the offender/s are not armed offenders/armed or known as dangerous
     to the police, if any. I.e the use of AOS for warranted/warantless
     drug raids not involving weapons in the last 3-5 years please.
    
     secondly id like to request the legal requirements for
     'reason to believe' or 'reason to suspect'
     Giving the Bill of rights and Privacy acts i can only presume these
     statements must have some sort of legal binding rules and/or
     minimun standards by law as to what proof is required for this.
    
     Yours faithfully,
     D & L
