Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence
Oliver Lineham (FYI.org.nz volunteer) left an annotation ()
Here is the previous request (also refused) referred to in the response: https://www.fyi.org.nz/request/undercove...
Also in response to the "to ensure the prompt response .. please provide your full name so that Police can be assured of who is seeking information" - I don't believe you are required to provide your full name, or have the timeliness of responses affected by not providing one. So long as the requester is eligible (which is anyone in New Zealand), *who* is making the request shouldn't make any difference at all to the sort of response you get.
