MO-1457

Document		MO-1457


File #		MA-000250-2


Institution/HIC		Peel Regional Police Services Board


Summary		The Peel Regional Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to "a copy of the photographs" of the appellant taken by the Police's Forensic Identification Services (FIS) during their investigation into an assault against the appellant. Access to the requested records was denied and the appellant appealed this decision to the Commissioner's office. As a result of this appeal, on December 21, 2000 Adjudicator Katherine Laird issued Order MO-1382 in which she ordered the Police to "disclose the records" to the appellant by January 15, 2001. In compliance with the order, the Police provided the appellant with colour laser copies of the requested photographs on January 15, 2001. The appellant then contacted the Police by telephone and advised that she was seeking 8" X 11" "glossy" copies of the photographs reproduced from the negatives held by the FIS. The Police indicated to her that the 15 glossy photographs sought are available to her through the FIS at a cost of $30.80 each, for a total of $462.00. The appellant then contacted this office and advised that although she had been provided with copies of the photographs in colour laser form, she was seeking access to 8" X 11" glossy photographs made from the negatives held by FIS. This office then opened Appeal MA-000250-2 and informed the Police and the appellant that the issue of the payment of fees by the appellant in order to access the records ordered disclosed in Order MO-1382 remains in dispute.
