The complainant has requested stop and search data from the Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’). The MPS refused to disclose the requested information advising that the request was vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA, on the basis of the oppressive burden in compliance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MPS was entitled to find the request vexatious. No steps are required.
