In completing or closing down the investigation after the tests from 19 November, the witness said he proceeded on the basis that these issues were not purely innocent or coincidental. He went on to say that the suspicious activity did not meet the threshold of an offence, but there was still suspicious activity that had to be investigated. The witness said at the end that he has an earnest wish that he can move on from this. Is he saying this matter is closed as far as GSOC is concerned or should it be investigated further? I believe it warrants further investigation. The idea that GSOC would be put under surveillance by anybody is very worrying and it should be investigated further. As far as GSOC is concerned, is the witness saying it is finished with this incident and wishes to move on and forget about it?
