Communications

From: Emma North-Best


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

Emails, letters, and memos to or from police/law enforcement unions, the National Guard, or federal officials between May 1, 2020 and the present.

I also request copies of emails containing any of the following: "protest", "protests", "Black Lives Matter", "BLM", "riot", "riots", "antifa", "antifascist", "anti-fascist", or "militia".

I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. I have previously written about the government and its activities, with some reaching over 100,000 readers in outlets such as Gizmodo, MuckRock, Motherboard, Property of the People, Unicorn Riot, and The Outline, among others. As such, as I have a reasonable expectation of publication and my editorial and writing skills are well established. In addition, I discuss and comment on the files online and make them available through non-profits such as the library Internet Archive and the journalist non-profit MuckRock, disseminating them to a large audience. While my research is not limited to this, a great deal of it, including this, focuses on the activities and attitudes of the government itself. As such, it is not necessary for me to demonstrate the relevance of this particular subject in advance.

As my primary purpose is to inform about government activities by reporting on it and making the raw data available, I request that fees be waived.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Emma Best

RE: Media Records Request of July 08, 2020. Reference# R106715-070820
Dear Emma Best:
The Broward Sheriff's Office received a public records request from you on July 08, 2020 seeking the following: According to the requester:

"Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

"Emails, letters, and memos to or from police/law enforcement unions, the National Guard, or federal officials between May 1, 2020 and the present.

"I also request copies of emails containing any of the following: 'protest', 'protests', 'Black Lives Matter', 'BLM', 'riot', 'riots', 'antifa', 'antifascist', 'anti-fascist', or 'militia.'" Due to the broad nature of this request and the commonality of the words requested to be searched, a review of agency records returned a significant number of emails. There are more than 58,000 emails returned, which must be reviewed for any statutory public records disclosure exemptions that may apply.  A "special service charge," as provided in s. 119.07(4)(d), Florida Statutes, will apply to this request at the rate of $38.00/hour for the actual time required to complete the request. It is estimated that it will take approximately 1,675 to complete. Therefore, your estimated cost for this request will be hours $63,650.00. For requests where the estimated cost exceeds $50.00, a deposit of 50% is required.  For this request, a deposit of $31,825.00 is required before the Broward Sheriff's Office begins work.  Please note this is an estimate only, and the final amount due may be more or less than the original estimate. You may send a check or money order in the minimum amount made payable to: Broward Sheriff’s Office Attn: Carey Codd - Public Information Unit 2601 W. Broward Blvd.  Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33312. Please include your request reference number R106715-070820 on the check or money order. Once the deposit has been received, we will begin working on your request.  Once the work on your records request has been completed you will be contacted to inform you the records are available and informed of the amount due, if any, or the amount of the refund, if any.   Once final payment has been received, you will be notified of the process to receive the records. If payment is not received within ten (10) business days, this request will be closed and you will need to complete a new request if you wish to receive the requested records.
