Subject: Re: OIA Response - IR-01-20-23555

Dear New Zealand Police,
I have taken a good look at the Evidence Act 2006 and the Evidence
Regulations 2007.  The former applies to cases of domestic violence while
the latter applies to video evidence collections not mobile telephone
evidence collections.  Neither apply to cases where NZ Police officers use
their NZ Police issued mobile phones to record interviews with parents and
other caregivers in relation to child safety and welfare checks carried
out by NZ Police in private homes.
I trust this clarifies my request further, however, if you are still not
clear what my requirements are then please let me know and I will see what
I can do about explaining in greater detail.
Yours faithfully,
M.R.M.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not

Dear New Zealand Police,
I seemingly need to clarify that I am referring to VOICE, not video,
evidence recorded using a Police issued iPhone (mobile).
The Evidence Regulations 2007 deals exclusively with VIDEO, not voice,
evidence recorded using a Police issued iPhone (mobile).  Accordingly the
Evidence Regulations 2007 have no bearing in this information request.
As far as the Evidence Act 2006 is concerned, this legislation deals with
the collection of evidence – in whatever form – for the purpose of “the
just determination of proceedings.”  This information request does not
relate to any sort of “proceedings.”  Accordingly the Evidence Act 2006
also has no bearing in this information request.
As your responses to-date do not satisfy my original or subsequent
information requests, I am again clarifying that I need the following
under the Official Information Act:-
1. Copies of legislation, regulation, policy, procedure, guidelines,
rules, etc. which relate to and/or cover the subject of New Zealand Police
Officers using New Zealand Police issued I-Phones to make VOICE RECORDINGS
of formal interviews relative to safety and welfare checks on (school
going age) children, and that are conducted by New Zealand Police Officers
at private homes.
2. Copies of legislation, regulation, policy, procedure, guidelines,
rules, etc. which relate to and/or cover the subject of New Zealand Police
Officers using New Zealand Police issued I-Phones to make VOICE RECORDINGS
of formal interviews relative to safety and welfare checks on (school
going age) children, and that are conducted by New Zealand Police Officers
at private homes … but which are in specific regard to compliance with all
of the requirements of the Privacy and/or Official Information Acts.
 In particular, how the aforementioned VOICE RECORDINGS must be collected,
used, disclosed, stored, and, how requesters are to be given access to
such personal information.
My preference and specific request is to have the abovementioned
information made available to me at and via the FYI website.
Yours faithfully,
M.R.M.
