The appellant submitted a request under the Act to the police for an audio/video statement made by her deceased brother to the police. The police denied the appellant access to the record, claiming the application of the personal privacy exemption. The appellant appealed the police’s decision, claiming the application of the compassionate grounds exception to the personal privacy exemption in section 14(4)(c) of the Act. In this decision, the adjudicator upholds the police’s decision, finding the record is exempt under the personal privacy exemption at section 38(b) and not subject to section 14(4)(c).
