Does anyone have any advice about requesting a copy of your Police records?
I am particularly interested to see if they have any information about me attending political protests or being involved in other political activity.
Or can you just ask for everything?
(Please note, I have looked at the relevant page on the Police website at https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/accessing-information/request-information-about-yourself-privacy-act but I'm looking for experience with using it.)
