West Midlands Police (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50305653 (16 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested details of the five speed cameras with the highest detection rates within the area covered by the public authority. The public authority refused the request, citing the exemptions provided by sections 31(1)(a) (prejudice to the prevention or detection of crime), 31(1)(b) (prejudice to the apprehension or prosecution of offenders), 38(1)(a) (endangerment to health) and 38(1)(b) (endangerment to safety) of the Act. The Commissioner finds that the public authority cited the exemptions provided by sections 31(1)(a) and (b) correctly and so is not required to disclose the requested information. The Commissioner also finds, however, that the public authority failed to comply with the procedural requirements of sections 17(1)(b) and (c) and 17(3)(b) in its handling of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld
