Decision Content
NATURE OF THE APPEAL:
The Ottawa Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to the complete investigation file relating to a motor vehicle owned by the requester.
The Police identified records that were responsive to the request and issued a decision denying access to the records on the basis of the exemptions under sections 8(1)(a) and (b) (law enforcement), and sections 14(1) and 38(b) (personal privacy). The Police rely on the presumption at section 14(3)(b) (investigation into a possible violation of law) in support of their personal privacy exemption claims.
