Hertfordshire Constabulary

The complainant has requested information concerning offences committed in custody, use of Twitter, assaults on the police and complaints against police officers. Hertfordshire Constabulary (the ‘Constabulary’) found the request to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Constabulary was not entitled to refuse to comply with the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA and he requires it to issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14(1).
