ANPR Tracking - Auror - Surveillance conducted prior to contract signed with Auror
M B made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
From: M B
Dear New Zealand Police,
The Contract between the Police and Auror is dated August 2018. (https://fyi.org.nz/request/9337/response...)
The first Auror searches were conducted on the 4th of April 2018, before the contract was signed. (https://fyi.org.nz/request/21129/respons...)
Please provide:
- Any contract with Auror (or its previous names) prior to that dated August 2018 publicly released.
- Material provided by Auror in its initial proposal to the Police to provide an ANPR surveillance platform. If this material is tainted with commercial sensitivity, please redact the necessary portions but provide the documents
- Any material or documentation that was given to Auror prior to August 2018 that may have been used to develop their ANPR database and active detection capability portal.
- Any communication between Auror in the exchange of that material.
Yours faithfully,
Mason.
From: M B
Dear New Zealand Police,
I also add to the previous request:
- Please provide all documentation related to the Police issuing app development ideas to Auror? For instance, did Auror first launch the platform without retrospective search function and only implemented additional functions after the Police's requested them?
Yours faithfully,
Mason.

Complaint made to the ombudsman. The Police's assertions are difficult to reconcile with their public release of the current Auror contract. Why would they be any different?
