Merseyside Police (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50466997 (14 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested disclosure of a photograph held by the Merseyside Police force (the police) and used by it as evidence while investigating certain criminal and related matters. The photograph was alleged to evidence improper conduct by then serving members of the police while they were on duty. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the police have applied FOIA correctly in relying on the exemption at section 30(1) and the associated public interest balance to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the police to take any steps beyond those already agreed to ensure compliance with the legislation.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 30 - Complaint Not upheld
