The records in this appeal relate to the police’s procurement and use of facial recognition technology. The police denied access to approximately 4,000 pages of records, claiming several exemptions under the Act. During the inquiry, the individual who asked for the records raised the application of the public interest override. In this order, the adjudicator finds that a number of records are exempt from disclosure and the public interest override does not apply to these records. She also finds that several records are not exempt from disclosure and she orders these to be disclosed to the individual who requested them.
