Greater Manchester Police
1 July 2014, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information about video footage taken by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) of a house search conducted as part of a criminal investigation. The footage was subsequently edited by an officer and uploaded to YouTube for a short period. GMP provided some information but refused to supply a copy of the video itself, citing the exemption at section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that GMP was entitled to rely upon section 40(2) to withhold the information. He requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 40: Not upheld
