Dear Mr. Murray,
Reference No: F-2009-01251
FREEDOM of INFORMATION ACT 2000
Thank you for your request for Information, received at this office on 13 August, 2009, in which you requested details of the following:
An unmarked vehicle operated in Tealby in June 2008 manned by a Lincs Police WPC named Parker allegedly gathering ASB ' evidence against an innocent pensioner.
How many cases of covert surveillance have been carried out by your force both authorised and unauthorised by RIP Act.
How many cases of private telephone monitoring have taken place and how many cases of email monitoring.
What items of surveillance equipment are held by your force and what 'procedures' are in place before use is authorised.
May I remind you that my last reasonable request was made some seven months ago and still there have been no satisfactory answers
Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances Lincolnshire Police may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest opportunity.
There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request will remain unanswered.
Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
We anticipate being able to provide you with information that you have requested by 11 September, 2009.
Your attention is drawn to the attached sheet, which details your right of complaint.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Lincolnshire Police.
Should you need to discuss this further please write or contact me on the above telephone number quoting the reference number above.
Yours sincerely,
Colin Knowles
Force Data Protection Officer
