Do you want to keep the NZTA's opt out?

[Zedder]

Has anybody asked NZTA how many requests for their information has been recieved ... how many given ... and from/to who ... ??????????????

Good point.

[FJRider]

Good point.

I'm thinking ... under the "Public Information Act" ... could be wrong ... often am

Yes and there have been no MR31 requests on my details. However there may be a loophole? "The NZTA has in place a streamlined MR31 application process for parties who have been granted an authorisation and make a high number of applications but only for limited reasons.". That sounds to me like it's an online form with a drop down box of reasons that bypasses the need to have the request checked by anyone. The source is trusted.

I was not opted out either as neither the AA or NZTA could opt me out due to my license and vehicle details not having been "mapped". Hence my above question in regards to how my details would have been obtained for my infringement notice. I'm still curious as to the restrictions placed on the 3rd parties that receive my details too.

I guess I should just be like the rest of NZ and just accept it

I have been forwarded quite a few OIAs on the subject now, and I'm developing an understanding of it. Its a hot topic here, on an ACC forum and on a Privacy forum, so lots of information is now sneaking out.

Blank section addresses often gets the powers that be upset ... if a traffic offence ticket gets the "return to sender, address non-existant" ... You don't need to be stopped to be issued a ticket. Falsification of your vehicle details are taken seriously by some goverment departments.

So ... YOU are pissed off because a parking firm you thought (rather stupidly I might add) could NOT access YOUR vehicle details ... and parked there anyway. And (obviously) sent you a ticket.

My heart bleeds ...

If your vehicle gets a few non-delivered tickets ... you may get an arrest warrant taken out in your name. Which may mean you get stopped (not necessarily for a traffic offence ... just a regular licence plate check) and arrested right there and then. No warning.

Or ... they may just cancel your registration for that vehicle.

NZTA is not the only source of information for personal details Police have.

I have been surprised from responses on this thread, and other forums as to just how many people have a "special" address that they use for the NZTA. Many people seem to use an address that allows them to get mail, so they can meet their obligations for tolls, licensing and "real tickets" and ignore the rubbish, as well as have protection from the uninvited and unwanted arriving on their doorstep.

The Act clearly does allow for the release of a persons information for a court case or enforcement. So those with legitimate claims that would withstand scrutiny by the courts will always be able to get the information.

Enforcement of the opt-out is about stopping the balance of information release - the release of information that while it may have financial benefit to the applicant, would not be enforced by the courts.

The question is ... is the "Opt-out" a rule of the NZTA ... or LAW. If only a "rule" ... it is theirs to break or change if they so wish. An exception which they deem acceptable. To THEM at least.

Its in the legislation, not just the regulations or rules.

If it is ... there will be penaltys for those that do not adhere to them. If so what are they ... ???

Legislation can be stated policy ...

I said I would summarise peoples OIAs, but I have been asked by several people not to, so I have deleted the post.

[nosebleed]

...So please do keep sending me copies of your OIA responses, and if you are concerned about the response you get, write again.

Please PM me an email address
Thanks

A couple of weeks ago i was getting a WOF for the car, as I was paying for the checksheet the chick behind the counter at VTNZ asked for my cell number and email address, I said no way. Not even the plain looking chick with big tits at the next counter was going to get the details.
