Dear Christchurch City Council,

I would like to know if the Christchurch City Council itself or any
companies or affiliates either contracted or partnered with the
Christchurch City Council (including CTOC) are using any form of
technology designed to identify people, vehicles or objects without human
interaction (including systems where an image, video or other such thing
is flagged by a computer system which then requires human validation).

If so, what systems are in use, how are they being used and for what
reason are they being used? Furthermore, if these systems are in use, how
are they being secured and who has access to the images or other such
things generated by these systems?

If there are not any systems currently in use, has the Christchurch City
Council been looking at implementing such systems? If so, please provide
the details of which companies/individuals have been contacted to
demonstrate or preview such services.

Yours faithfully,
Timothy Rowlands
