File #  MA-050039-2
Institution/HIC  York Regional Police Services Board
Summary

The York Regional Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for a copy of the videotape of an interview the requester participated in with an identified police officer on a specific date. The interview related to the requester’s complaints about another individual (the accused), against whom charges were laid by the Police.

The Police responded to the request by denying access to the record on the basis of the exemption in section 38(a) (discretion to refuse requester’s own information), in conjunction with sections 8(1)(a) and (b) (law enforcement) and section 8(1)(f) (right to fair trial). The Police identified that the charges relating to the matter remained before the courts.

The requester, now the appellant, appealed the decision of the Police.
