Good morning.

We are working on this request:

*Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following
records:*

*-all communications, including emails, attachments and text messages
between ADOT, including the DMV, and the company Clearview AI
(https://www.clearview.ai/ <https://www.clearview.ai/>) from January 1,
2019 and the time this request is published.-all communications including
the terms "facial recognition" from January 1, 2019 and the time this
request is published-all communications including the terms "clearview"
from January 1, 2019 and the time this request is published*

In the initial process, we've determined that a search of the term "facial
recognition" may return a number of items that aren't associated with
Clearview AI and may take a considerable amount of time to provide. Is
there a way that you could more narrowly define the scope of that search?
Please advise.
