Dear Andrew
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request dated 13 January 2025 for
information regarding infringement notice PR7877644.
My response to each part of your request can be found below.
Before you read the below, please note that in accordance with section 145 and 146 of
the Land Transport Act 1998, the al eged offence was captured by a certified mobile
safety camera. Please find enclosed the Land Transport (Approved Vehicle Surveil ance
Equipment) Notice 2021 for reference.
1. Reference to the Infringement Notice PR7877644. I request the Calibration Test
for the Speed Camera
Please find enclosed the Certificate of Accuracy for the mobile safety camera in question.
Under section 146 of the Land Transport Act 1998, all operational speed detection
equipment, including safe speed cameras, radars, lasers, and vehicle speedometers are
required to be calibrated annual y. The responsibility for testing and certification rests with
Police Calibration Services, an International Standards Accredited Laboratory, based in
Wel ington.
2. and a copy of photographic evidence.
Police would usually only release the photograph of the offence to the owner of the
vehicle, or someone who has permission from the owner to request it. As Police has not
received confirmation that you are either the owner or have the owner’s permission, the
photograph is withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect the privacy of natural
persons. However, if you can provide evidence to the contrary, please send us an email
at
[email address].
It should be noted that information requested under the OIA runs separately to the
infringement process timeframe. Therefore, continued correspondence with Police
regarding this matter does not remove the notice holder’s obligation to either request a
court hearing or pay the infringement fee by the final due date.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided, please respond to the
release email accordingly. However, if the notice holder wishes to chal enge the validity of
the evidence or the circumstances surrounding the al eged offence, the notice holder may
wish to request a court hearing, seek independent legal advice, or approach one of the
twenty-four Community Law Centres situated throughout New Zealand:

I certify that I tested this Approved Vehicle Surveillance Equipment in accordance with technical procedure
CU31, at the speeds specified in the Laboratory Tests panel above and found the device to be recording
accurate speed measurements. This device has a measurement uncertainty of +- 1 km/h when measuring
an unknown speed. This device was also subjected to a road test and the data produced by this camera
indicated the device was functioning correctly and producing accurate speed readings.
The tuning forks specified in this certificate were tested and found to oscillate correctly to produce a
simulated speed as indicated on the fork.
I, being a member of the New Zealand Police duly authorised for the purpose by the Commissioner of
Police, certify pursuant to Section 146 of the Land Transport Act 1998 that the said device was tested on
the date below and is accurate.
