Subject: Official Information request - NZ Police Breach of Privacy Act

 

Dear Privacy Commissioner,

 

As reported by RNZ on the 8/9/22 the NZ Police had breached the Privacy
Act in regards to photos taken of Maori Youth over a 10yr Period.

 

Were the NZ Police as an organization fined or financial penalized for the
Breach as per this Section of the Privacy Act-

 

Offence to fail to notify Commissioner

(1)

An agency that, without reasonable excuse, fails to notify the
Commissioner of a notifiable privacy breach under section 114 commits an
offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000.

 

If No Why Not?

 

Had the NZ Police Notified the Privacy Commissioner of the breach?

 

If so what was the date of the notification?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ed Whakatihi
