NSW Police and Malicious Prosecution
Dear NSW Police Force,
I just wanted to find out directly from you, what elements need to be established in order to charge someone with a serious indictable offence in NSW?
Can a citizen be arrested for the only purpose of obtaining their phone?
How often is someone arrested for a serious indictable offence without sufficient, if any at all, evidence?
Surely there has to be elements that satisfy the definition of reliable evidence, in order to fill the requirements needed to charge someone?
What I see happening and what I read are supposed to happen, are two very different things, so I am writing to you so that you can provide me with clarification.
Yours faithfully,
Lauren Ainslie

Dear #GIPA,
Is this your clarification? The NSW Police website differs from information given by the Law Society.
This is why I was asking you for clarification.
Yours sincerely,
Lauren Ainslie
Dear #GIPA,
I still have not got a response and by law you should have responded by 1/09/2023.
Yours sincerely,
Lauren Ainslie

Dear NSW Police Force,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of NSW Police Force's handling of my FOI request 'NSW Police and Malicious Prosecution'.
Can you please respond to this request for information.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/n...
Yours faithfully,
Lauren Ainslie
Good morning,
Thank you for your email. To lodge an internal review it must be received
within 20 days of the date of decision and you must provide certain
information, such as your GIPAA reference number and the reason you are
applying for internal review.
I can see you have lodged a number of applications, which have been
invalid due to no payment. The NSW Police Force are only able to receive
GIPA Access applications by the [1]NSW Police Force's Community Portal or
by mail with a completed application form and accompanied by the relevant
fee. Internal Review applications must be received in the same method as
the access application. i.e if you lodged the GIPA Act access application
through the Community Portal, the Internal Review application must be
received through the Community Portal also.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this
email or call on 02 8835 6888.
Kind regards,
Alison Dangerfield
