Decision notice FS50288338

The complainant requested the number of vehicles photographed by a specified speed camera and information on the amount of time that this camera is active. The public authority refused the request and cited the exemptions provided by sections 31(1)(a) (prejudice to the prevention or detection of crime) and 31(1)(b) (prejudice to the apprehension or prosecution of offenders) on the grounds that disclosure of the information requested by the complainant would be likely to lead to vandalism of the speed camera specified in the request. The Commissioner finds that these exemptions are not engaged and the public authority is required to disclose the information requested.
