Disclosure of the dates when the UAV Detect and Warn Capability deployed on 20 December 2018 was purchased or rented would not compromise police operations, investigations, or public safety. The information is too limited to prejudice law enforcement or future investigations, and the public interest in transparency outweighs the interest in maintaining the exemption under s.30(3) FOIA.
Source excerpt
The Tribunal held that disclosure of the requested information would be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime and the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, as it would reveal operational criteria to fraudsters and reduce the effectiveness of law enforcement. The public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure, including the appellant's personal circumstances and alleged human rights issues, which were not sufficient to tip the balance. The appeal was dismissed.
