Chief Constable Nottinghamshire Police

The complainant has requested information in relation to Dash Cam submissions which have lead to the driver getting charged with a traffic offence. Nottinghamshire Police (“the public authority”), has refused to provide the requested information, citing section 12(1) of FOIA – cost exceeds the appropriate limit. 
The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was correct to withhold the requested information under section 12(1) of FOIA. However he find that there has been a breach of section 16 of FOIA as advice and assistance was not provided via its initial response The public authority has since provided advice and assistance and, as such, no steps are required.  
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
