Documents around photography at TPPA protests.
Andrew Crow made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
From: Andrew Crow
Dear New Zealand Police,
It has been reported that some police staff where photographing protesters at the TPPA in Auckland today.
I believe that the public have a right to know why this happened and what the photos are needed for.
Under the OIA I request any documents that give orders to police staff that they should photograph protesters.
I also request any documents that explain what the photos are to be use for.
I also ask for any documents that relate to sharing the photos with other government agencies such as GCSB or SIS.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Crow
New Zealand Police

Very unhelpful to not even identify the request.
Here is the manual: https://www.fyi.org.nz/request/police_ma...
At least, that's how it was in 2012.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence
Offensive? Unsuitable?

Surely the Police should be required to prove a URL if they decline a OIA request on the grounds a document is publicly available.
