From: Ed Whakatihi

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
