Chief Constable of Sussex Police

The complainant requested information from Sussex Police (“the Police”) about the legality around the use of drones. The Police provided some guidance and links and stated that it did not hold any further information in scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that only two parts of the request were valid and that on the balance of probabilities, the Police did not hold any further information within the scope of these two parts. However, the Police breached section 10 and section 17 of FOIA as they failed to issue their response within 20 working days.
