ANPR cameras & data

Joshua Rogers made this Official Information request to Hamilton City Council

Hamilton City Council did not have the information requested.

From: Joshua Rogers

Dear Hamilton City Council,

As stated in previous requests ANPR data/ license plates are not considered “private information”

So I now would like to request a full history of all scanned license plates on every camera in Hamilton. Considering this is not “private information” and doesn’t require a privacy impact assessment this should mean they are OIAable.

Please provide a spreadsheet with all scanned license plates in Hamilton, to the longest history the system holds.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Rogers

Kia ora,

 

We refer to your information request below. Hamilton City Council provides
the following response.

 

Your request:

 

As stated in previous requests ANPR data/ license plates are not
considered “private information”
So I now would like to request a full history of all scanned license
plates on every camera in Hamilton. Considering this is not “private
information” and doesn’t require a privacy impact assessment this should
mean they are OIAable.
Please provide a spreadsheet with all scanned license plates in Hamilton,
to the longest history the system holds.

 

Our response:

 

CitySafe:

 

When CitySafe are using the ANPR to track vehicles through the CCTV
cameras it is from stored footage and live footage, the licence plates are
not stored. We use it for LGOIMA request and NZ Police – the storage for
CCTV footage is only 7 days.

 

Transport:

 

Transport collects licence plates for enforcement for infringements eg:
Parking tickets, please see the attached spreadsheet of around 500 that we
have from a month.

 

We collect these licences plates under as a Local Authority under the Land
Transport Act 1998 where we have been delegated the responsibility to
enforce the Act, then Hamilton City Council also has the Traffic Bylaw
2021 that we also enforce.

 

The SmartOps

 

The data provided (attachment LGOIMA 419523 – SmartOps Team) has been
stored for Traffic Counting purposes only, the two main purposes are for
counting the volume of vehicles, each plate represents one vehicle. This
data is then used to determine the percentage of heavy vehicle using
Hamilton city council’s network.

 

Gathering all licence plates that we have on file via our various business
units we would consider this to be substantial collation under s17(f) of
LGOIMA – it would impact the daily duties of our staff.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Official Information,

I have serious concerns with this reply and I am contemplating making a complaint to the ombudsman.

Here is why:

On the 15th of September 2023 you responded to my OIA request - Your reference provided is LGOIMA 349383.

In this request I asked for information around ANPR cameras in hamilton, including what software is used and how long ANPR data is stored for.

You responded to this by saying you use Axis ANPR software and Milestone.
You also stated that data is kept for 30 days.

You then further down when I asked how many alerts you have had since installation of these cameras you stated the following:
"We do not keep records beyond 30 days and the recent data we have does not
separate number plate alerts and stolen vehicles. Only the stolen vehicle
data is responded to."

This leads me to believe you have lied to me in this OIA request by stating two things:
"the licence plates are not stored"
"the storage for CCTV footage is only 7 days"

Also stating further down "Gathering all licence plates that we have on file via our various business
units we would consider this to be substantial collation under s17(f) of
LGOIMA – it would impact the daily duties of our staff."

This is again factually incorrect. I am very familiar with Axis ANPR software and Milestone software. What I am requesting is all License Plates scanned via your ANPR cameras linked with the Axis ANPR Software and/or Milestone software. Police are able to back search license plates via vGrid and track their movements so I would expect you to provide those plates, whether alerts or just scanned plates.

Please provide this immediately before an Ombudsman complaint is made.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Rogers

Kia ora,

 

We had sent this in a table to provide a set out explanation, it seems
that the FYI website is not compatible with this. Please see our
explanation below.

 

Your request September 2023 – LGOIMA 349383

 

Your request:

 

1. What are the locations of the currently installed ANPR cameras +
install dates if possible.

2. What are the locations of the future, planned installed ANPR cameras.

3. What system is being used to run the ANPR cameras (axis, milestone,
Rekor or other ANPR softwares).

4. How long are license plate data stored for.

5. Was the office of the privacy commissioner consulted before
installation.

6. How does the ANPR system get its plate alert data (NZTA, carjam API,
police, manual plate entry)

7. Does the ANPR system check for expired rego, wof, etc or is it only for
stolen vehicles.

8. What is the city’s plans for ANPR (covering all entrances to the city,
hotspots for stolen vehicles etc)

9. Do police have a direct access to view plate data or is it only
accessible by City Cameras/city safe.

10. How many alerts for stolen cars have the HCC had since installations.

11. Can you provide a cost breakdown of the installation of cameras on a
“per camera” basis.

12. Does the HCC plan to have the city fully covered by ANPR (all the way
to te rapa, down the south hamilton).

 

Our response:

 1. Please see the spreadsheet attached that provides the current Licence
Plate Recognition Camera’s
 2. As the above there are future locations but installation dates have
not been confirmed.
 3. Axis ANPR software and Milestone
 4. Our footage is only held for 30 days.
 5. The Privacy commissioner was not consulted before installing ANPR as
licence plates are not considered private information, please see here
the [1]Privacy Commissioner website.
 6. Police – updated every 15 minutes.
 7. The fixed ANPR check for stolen vehicles and number plates. HCC
Transportation ANPR vehicles will be used to improve the safe working
environment of Parking Wardens. This will be done to deliver existing
compliance routines and to improve the safety of road users around the
city in support of Access Hamilton and City Transportation
initiatives.
 8. The Spreadsheet attached provided covers the intended installations.
 9. Police have direct access to the data via the secure vGRID SaferCity
Platform.
10. We do not keep records beyond 30 days and the recent data we have does
not separate number plate alerts and stolen vehicles. Only the stolen
vehicle data is responded to.
11. No, this information is sensitive to the successful tender.
12. The Spreadsheet provides the intended installations.

Your further correspondence of 11 September 2024

 

On the 15th of September 2023 you responded to my OIA request - Your
reference provided is LGOIMA 349383.
In this request I asked for information around ANPR cameras in Hamilton,
including what software is used and how long ANPR data is stored for.

You responded to this by saying you use Axis ANPR software and Milestone.
You also stated that data is kept for 30 days.

You then further down when I asked how many alerts you have had since
installation of these cameras you stated the following:
"We do not keep records beyond 30 days and the recent data we have does
not
separate number plate alerts and stolen vehicles. Only the stolen vehicle
data is responded to."

This leads me to believe you have lied to me in this OIA request by
stating two things:
"the licence plates are not stored"
"the storage for CCTV footage is only 7 days"

 

Council’s response/explanation 11 September 2024

 

Your previous LGOIMA 349383 this was interpreted as a question for our
CitySafe team (ANPR linked to the stationary cameras we have located in
the city) as the main questions were about enforcement and Police action.

 

At the time of responding to you ANPR associated with parking enforcement
(vehicles that drive through the city) was not interpreted as being within
scope of this request.

 

This request LGOIMA 349383 was made and responded 12 months ago.  

 

Our retention policy for CCTV (CitySafe team (ANPR linked to the
stationary cameras we have located in the city) changed to 7 days from 30
days. This changed January 2024, this did not need to be a council
decision it was a decision that was approved by the General Manager
responsible for the group.

 

Holding footage for 30 days was incurring substantial storage costs, and
the reduction in retention time to 7 days has helped to reduce costs.

 

Staff have not lied to you.

 

Your request September 2024 – LGOIMA 419523

 

Your request:

 

As stated in previous requests ANPR data/ license plates are not
considered “private information”
So I now would like to request a full history of all scanned license
plates on every camera in Hamilton. Considering this is not “private
information” and doesn’t require a privacy impact assessment this should
mean they are OIAable.
Please provide a spreadsheet with all scanned license plates in Hamilton,
to the longest history the system holds.

 

Our response:

 

CitySafe:

 

When CitySafe are using the ANPR to track vehicles through camera of
stored footage – the storage for CCTV footage is only 7 days.

 

Transport:

 

Transport check licence plates for enforcement for infringements eg:
Parking tickets are a random 500 we have collated over a month period.

 

SmartOps
The data provided (attachment LGOIMA 419523 – SmartOps Team) has been
stored for Traffic Counting purposes only, the two main purposes are for
counting the volume of vehicles, each plate represents one vehicle. This
data is then used to determine the percentage of heavy vehicle using
Hamilton city council’s network.

Gathering all licence plates that we have on file via our various business
units we would consider this to be substantial collation under s17(f) of
LGOIMA – it would impact the daily duties of our staff.

 

Your further correspondence of 11 September 2024

 

Also stating further down "Gathering all licence plates that we have on
file via our various business units we would consider this to be
substantial collation under s17(f) of
LGOIMA – it would impact the daily duties of our staff."

This is again factually incorrect. I am very familiar with Axis ANPR
software and Milestone software. What I am requesting is all License
Plates scanned via your ANPR cameras linked with the Axis ANPR Software
and/or Milestone software. Police are able to back search license plates
via vGrid and track their movements so I would expect you to provide those
plates, whether alerts or just scanned plates.

 

Council’s response/explanation 11 September 2024

 

LGOIMA 419523 was treated as a separate request, and expanded the internal
enquiry on this to areas like enforcement of parking tickets and traffic
counting because your request was for all scanned license plates on every
camera in Hamilton.

 

We considered parking enforcement to be different – i.e. not linked to the
stationary ANPR cameras that CitySafe use.

 

There is a Mobile ANPR car that drives around but we did not see it in
scope of your previous request about stationary ANPR cameras. These
licence plates are only stored as part of parking ticket information that
is not publicly available, as we stated before this is in alinement with
our delegations under the Land Transport Act 1998.

 

Stored footage can be scanned with the ANPR software we get a licence
plate information via a request with LGOIMA or Police. We do not keep it
once the request has been fulfilled. Police can run their ANPR on the
software as it is saved footage. Once it is sent to Police it is wiped as
per our normal retention of 7 days.

 

Our CitySafe data that is sent directly to Police Via the VGrid SaferCity
Platform we do not store this.

 

The information that we are refusing (and continue to refuse) under s17(f)
is all parking ticket licence plates that we collect for infringement
because this would require substantial.

 

Your request for all scanned license plates on every camera in Hamilton,
as worded includes not only fixed cameras but camera’s on vehicles used by
the parking enforcement team.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
