Dear Mason
We refer to your correspondence dated 30 October 2022, requesting information
held by Police relating to:
1. all available information on what statutory power did the police exercise to
track the women via ANPR?
2. all available information on how many hours the 'stolen' alert was on the
women's vehicle?
3. If the authority for tracking the women was derived from the Search and
Surveil ance act s 48 (emergency powers to use the tracking device), was a
report by s 60 provided to a judge?
4. If so, please provide a redacted copy.
5. if there were multiple vehicles listed as 'stolen' please provide the above
information for each.
You may be aware that, under the Official Information Act 1982, we are required
to respond to your information request within 20 working days. This letter is to
let you know that the consultation we need to do on your request means that we
need to extend the time limit for responding to you (in accordance with section
15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act 1982).
You can expect a response by 16 December 2022. If you are not satisfied with our
response or you have any questions, please contact [email address].
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not
satisfied with Police’s response to your request.
Yours sincerely
