MFIPPA - 17
The Durham Regional Police Services Board received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for information related to the use of international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) devices. The request was narrowed to judicial authorizations for use of IMSI devices. The police located three judicial authorizations, but the adjudicator removed them from the scope of the appeal because they have been sealed by a court order. Therefore, the only issue she considers at adjudication is whether the police conducted a reasonable search, under section 17 of the Act. In this order, the adjudicator upholds the police’s search as reasonable in the circumstances and dismisses the appeal.
