COMPLETED ON EACH OCCASION WHERE THE TASER IS USED'. It also states
a copy must be sent to 'Force Liason Officer [of ACPO Ltd]' for

Dear Freedom of Information Team,

HMP Britain is a group of citizens who have organised themselves
into a corporate group. We believe pursuant to ICO guidance and
FOIA, our name constitutes a lawful named party. Please familiarise
yourself with the document 'Valid request – name and address for
correspondence' published in January of this year. I attach this
guidance to the bottom of this email.

Requesting information in this way avoids the accusation that we
are distributing FOIA requests between individuals to avoid paying
FOIA costs. You are also able to see who has made the request and
determine whether the level of requests we are making are excessive
and therefore potentially vexatious.

Yours sincerely,

HMP Britain
