Thames Valley Police
17 December 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information concerning the use of RIPA (the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000) by Thames Valley Police (“TVP”). TVP initially refused the request as being ‘vexatious’ under section 14(1) of the FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s decision overturning this exclusion, TVP then refused to provide the requested information citing section 31(1)(g) with 31(2)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that TVP has correctly applied this section and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. He requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 31: Not upheld
