Subject: Official Information Act request - Use of production orders to
intercept telecommunications information

     Dear New Zealand Police,
    
     Section 71 of the search and surveillance act 2012 allows police to
     apply for production orders for any document, including
     call-associated data and stored telecommunications, for any offence
     for which a search warrant could be granted. I would like to
     request the following information under the OIA:
    
     * How many production orders have been applied for in the past
     year? How many have been granted? If possible, I would like a
     monthly breakdown.
     * What offences have those orders been applied for to investigate?
     I&#39;m interested in a breakdown of offences, or offence
     categories and broad severity, in order to determine the extent to
     which they are used to investigate minor vs serious offending.
    
     I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
     this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
     fyi.org.nz website.
    
     With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
    
     Yours faithfully,
    
     Alex Harris

Dear MCMAHON, Teresa,

Thanks for your acknowledgement. Unfortunately I managed to leave
something out of my request: I'm specificly interested in the
number of production orders which target call associated data and
stored telecommunications, and I'd like a breakdown of those too if
possible.

Obviously this clarification restarts your 20 working-day clock.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Harris
