Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - All resources relating to 'Reasonable grounds' including guidelines and instructions

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,

In order to legally invoke a warrantless search, arrest etc, police must have 'reasonable grounds to suspect' or 'reasonable grounds to believe', depending on the specific legislation they are relying on.

I would like to request all instructions, guidelines, policy manual chapters, training documents, legal opinions and any other resources that have been made available to Police relating to:

'reasonable grounds'
'reasonably believes'
'has good cause to suspect'
'reasonable grounds to suspect'
'reasonable grounds to believe'
'probable grounds'
and any other related variation used to justify the Police actions of arresting/searching/investigations in their duties

I am a New Zealand citizen residing in Auckland my entire life so I am more than eligible to request this information.

Yours faithfully,

Citizen
