ANPR Tracking - Auror - Surveillance Device Warrants
M B made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
Ministry of Justice did not have the information requested.
From: M B
Dear Ministry of Justice,
A Surveillance Device Warrant for a tracking device was applied for and issued to use the live alert function of Auror (Police's third party ANPR system) in the case of R v Meo (2022).
1. When was the first Surveillance Device Warrant applied for to use "Auror", "VIBE", "vGRID", or "ANPR", as a tracking device?
2. How many of those surveillance device warrants have been applied for?
Yours faithfully,
Mason.

Dear [email address],
Does the MOJ also hold keep data on production order and search warrants given that not all of them are applied for through the Court?
I will expand the scope of my request if so.
Yours sincerely,
Mason.

Ministry of Justice
Kia ora Mason,
I write concerning your Official Information Act request of 18 September 2022.
In our view, it would have been necessary to transfer your request under section 14 of the OIA to NZ Police because the information you requested is believed to be held by that agency. However, we are aware that NZ Police are providing a response to these questions following a request you submitted to them on 18 September 2022. Therefore, we have not transferred your request to NZ Police. We do not hold any additional relevant information that is not already held by NZ Police. You will hear from them in due course.
If you are not satisfied with this decision, you have the right to complain to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the OIA. You can contact the Ombudsman by emailing [email address].
