Dear Mr Murray

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO:

F-2009-00192

I refer to your email dated 12 August 2009 in which you say that

“You are again requested to stop stonewalling and provide the

information to which the public are entitled. One of yr 'officers'

[Parker] claimed, before several witness, that 'the vehicle is ours

and is rented from Gainsborough'. Requests to WLDC to provide

documentary evidence of the ownership of the vehicle, log

books, insurance docs etc and service record have drawn a blank.

You 'officer' Parker was engaged in obtaining 'evidence' of my

alleged ASB and Carried this out in a disgracefully underhand

manner.

She entered a restaurant close to my home and told the bemused

owners that she had 'information' that I was banned from the

establishment. She was found 'making enquiries' about me for several

months in places many miles from my home. We have not had any

satisfactory explanation of this behaviour.

Nor has there been any explanation as to why the surveillance

vehicle was in Tealby at all, nor why it was left parked for more

than a week in Cow Lane on the wrong side of the road facing

oncoming traffic in exactly the right place to secretly observe my

comings and goings. The fatuous excuse that it was' broken down' was

a pure fiction and is not good enough. WLDC have failed to indicate

who 'repaired' the vehicle and produce documentation of the vehicle

e.g. the account for 'repairs' allegedly carried out, DVLI log book,

insurance documents etc.

Why don't you admit the truth of the matter?. You're very belated

attempts at explanation do not ring true. Little wonder that your

force, by its own admission, is the worst in the country in terms of

'customer satisfaction' which, it is claimed, is your 'top

priority. !

You persist in claiming that the vehicle is not yours. Why then was

this unmarked surveillance vehicle being used by a member of yr

force/

Please now provide truthful answers.”

Your request was for “ Operational log of unmarked vehicle S718HCP used in these operations.”

I again confirm that Lincolnshire Police does not hold this information. This vehicle is not owned or operated by Lincolnshire Police. Lincolnshire Police does not hold an operational log relating to this vehicle. The owner or user of this vehicle may hold the information that you seek but Lincolnshire Police does not.
