Dear Mr Hunua 
 
I am writing in response to your OIA request, reference number 
IR-01-21-22118 to New Zealand Police, received 16 July 2021.  
 
You were inquiring how unedited Police Eagle footage has been 
posted to YouTube on an unofficial channel. You asked how this 
footage was released. 
 
This footage was part of a prosecution file where several persons 
were apprehended. Police provided disclosure under the Criminal 
Disclosure Act 2008 to the accused’s defense counsel. After the 
footage was disclosed it has been uploaded to YouTube by person 
or persons unknown. 
 
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me 
directly at my email address. 
 
Yours sincerely 
 
 
 
Wendy Pickering 
Senior Sergeant 
Officer in Charge Marine Rescue Centre
