Request:
Q1. Which three fixed position speed cameras in your area were responsible for (i) the issuing of the most notices of intended prosecution (NIPs) to suspected speeders in the combined three-year period of 2021, 2022 and 2023?
By this I mean which three cameras were the busiest across the entire three-year period rather than which three were busiest in each year. Hence the response should be just three camera sites and no more.
Q2. Please provide me with the position of each of the three cameras along with the number of NIPs that each of these three was responsible for over this three year period.
Q3. If possible please provide me with the number of (i) FPNs and (ii) driver education courses that were accepted as ‘punishment’ by the people issued with the NIPs at each of the camera sites identified by Question 1.
NOTE: Please include average speed cameras for this analysis where the cameras have remained in the same position.
Response:
Extent and Result of Searches to Locate Information
To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within North Yorkshire Police.
I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by North Yorkshire Police.
Decision
The information you have requested is published on the North Yorkshire Police website under the following link:
FOI 1218-2023/24- Fixed speed cameras | North Yorkshire Police
I have therefore decided to exempt providing you with a response to question 1 - 3 pursuant to Section 21 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act).
Section 17 of the Act requires North Yorkshire Police, when refusing to provide such information (because the information is exempt) to provide you the applicant with a notice which: (a) states that fact, (b) specifies the exemption in question and (c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.
Section 21 – Information Reasonably Accessible by Other Means
Section 21 is an absolute class based exemption and I am not required to consider the harm or public interest when applying this exemption.
Pursuant to Section 17(1) of the Act this letter acts as a Refusal Notice in response to your request.
Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
