Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - ANPR Audit results - Auror & vGRID - What does "audit" actually mean?

Dear New Zealand Police,

Please provide further clarity and information on what is meant by the Police's statement that all live ANPR alerts have been audited.

Including specifically whether "audit" includes confirming that a live alert was lawfully authorised (under a tracking warrant / warrant exemption).

Context:

On 10/06/2023 I requested information on the number of active detection ANPR alerts (Live alerts / 'tracking function') conducted under the different statutory authorities that are available to the Police for those types of searches: tracking warrants, warrantless tracking warrant uses, and [questionably] confined Privacy Act exemptions (https://fyi.org.nz/request/23086-anpr-au...).

The Police could not provide me with that information despite stating that "every ... use of [the] ANPR tracking functionality was audited, from ... 2018 ... [to] October 2022" in the audit summary completed December 2022 (https://www.police.govt.nz/sites/default... at 2).

I note that the purpose of the audit was "to verify that authorised Police staff are accessing externally provided ANPR data in appropriate ways" (https://www.police.govt.nz/sites/default...) but your previous response suggests that the authority data may not have been audited.

Yours faithfully,
M
