From these AI-enabled cameras, how many Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) have been distributed?

Eg, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone, etc.
Please indicate whether you will be launching or increasing the number of AI-enabled cameras on your roads, and when this is expected to be, and how many AI-cameras you expect to install.

Question 1:
Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires Northamptonshire Police, when refusing to provide information (because the information is exempt within the provisions of the Act) to provide you, the applicant, with a Notice which:
a) states the fact that an exemption has been applied
b) specifies the exemption in question, and
c) states why the exemption applies (if that would not otherwise be apparent)
The statutory exemption applicable to the information not disclosed is as follows:
