Official 2014/5 Holiday Period For Lower Speed Camera Tolerances

Arthur Jacobson made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was refused by New Zealand Police.

From: Arthur Jacobson

Dear New Zealand Police,

It is published police policy to lower speed camera tolerances from 10kph to 4kph over "nationally advertised" holiday periods.

Please provide documentation (hard or soft/digital) being such national (or other) advertisements disclosing the duration (ie. commencement and termination dates) of the applicable such 2014/2015 Christmas/New Year holiday period.

Yours faithfully,

Arthur Jacobson

Dear New Zealand Police,

The prescribed time by law for you to respond to my request as passed.

I am asking for information that was "nationally advertised" so I do not understand the delay. Surely a national advertisement is readily available.

Please respond.

Yours faithfully,

Arthur Jacobson

Dear SMITH, Jason,

Thank you for your response.

The only publicly available information stated that the holiday period applicable to speed ended on 5 January 2015 (see for example http://www.transport.govt.nz/research/ro... ).

Furthermore publicly available police statements note that only during these periods are speed cameras set to a 4kph tolerance while a 10kph tolerance is used outside these periods (see for example http://www.police.govt.nz/advice/driving... or the penultimate paragraph of this web page ( http://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/o... ).

Yet on 9 January 2015, speed cameras (or at least that located just before the northbound Petone off-ramp on SH2) remained at a 4kph tolerance.

Please provide all non-public documentation relating to the decision, including reasoning, to retain the lower tolerance outside official holiday periods without public warning and in direct contravention of public statements that this tolerance would only be utilised during "official holiday periods publicised in the media".

Yours sincerely,

Arthur Jacobson
