Dear Lincolnshire Police,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Lincolnshire Police's handling of my FOI request '2021 Stolen/Recovered Range Rover Sport Motor Vehicles'.

with regard to:

7. The registration marks of the vehicles (to assist with determining model, age, specification and value)

Please confirm you have identified the vehicles as belonging to an individual, as opposed to a corporate entity - to which DPA does not apply.

Please confirm whether the VRMs are the subject of total loss payments i.e. they have 'transferred to trade, considered salvage 9where recrovered) i.e. owned by a corporate entity (insurer)

explain the basis upon which it is believed a VRM is 'personal information when it provides no clue as to the keeper - how can the VRM, provided by you, identify a living individual i.e. directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to:
(a) an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identified, or
(b) one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of the individual’.

a VRM is a vehicle (not a living individual) identifier that gives no indication as to a living individual save where, possibly, a cherished mark is involved.

how does the information relate to a person; how is a VBRM about them, linked to them by identifier only, has some biographical significance for them, is used to inform decisions affecting them, and has them as its main focus or impacts on them in any way?

How does this request relate to specific individuals? It does not, it relates to an inanimate object ergo the information in question is not personal data.

If you are suggesting the information could be used with other information, please specify what data and how your withholding the information on this basis is:

1. other than protecting another data supplier from an approach i.e. one (at least) step removed from your information
2. not preventing me from making what may be a valid request for information from another supplier if, for example, I wished to obtain mo information about the VRM; I may have a valid, lawful, reason to seek more information (possibly from the dvla) that would fall to their permissions and/or enabling section of the FoIA/DPA.

your stance appears onerous, excessive and prevents me from exercising my right to information.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/2...

Yours faithfully,

Phil Swift

Dear foi,

with regard to:

'Turning to cases where the VRMs relate to commercial companies rather than private owner, the same logic and harm applies as it is unknown whether commercial companies have sold the vehicles to private owners.

If this were the case, to release those VRMs would be releasing personal information relating to those new owners and therefore Section 40 applies'

please advise the efforts undertaken to establish:

which VRMs (if any) are registered to commercial entities at the date of loss and
whether there have been keeper changes since the date of theft - the information is freely available and
whether any of the VRMs registered to commercial entities and subject to theft, remain unrecovered

Yours sincerely,

Phil Swift
