Dear New Zealand Police,
It is now past 40 working days since this OIA request. Of all the departments, I would have though the Police would follow the law.
If you have trouble running a 5 minute sort in Excel or a database search, let me know and i can help. You have the information, you used it to pay out the money for the guns confiscated to date - how hard can it be?
Yours faithfully,
ingar dose
