Offensive? Unsuitable?

Perhaps NZ Police need to reminded again that there is no limitation on the type of channels through which OIA requests can be made.
As per other Ombudsman guidance an official facebook or twitter account is valid as a method of making a request.
It may be that NZ Police believe that this request is not valid but that does not preclude them replying as such with an appropriate (and reasoned) refusal rather than their rather rude response.
