"Covert surveillance"

The request was refused by Police Scotland.

Dear Police Scotland,

Please could you provide details on monitoring covert surveillance techniques by your officers.

Can you confirm if placing paper in someone's door frame is included within this, how many times has this been used (with or without a warrant) and how do senior officers sign off on this procedure?

If you do not have this data why? You should be monitoring surveillance behaviours of your officers.

Yours faithfully,

Emily Storey

Police Scotland

Dear Police Scotland,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Police Scotland's handling of my FOI request '"Covert surveillance"'.

[Please could you clarify if this is a legally established fact or just police Scotland's opinion..

If it doesn't identify an individual why bother doing it?

If someone is known to live alone would your wsponse fall flat on its face?

His often is it done?

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

Yours faithfully,

E Storey

Police Scotland
