You have requested the following records: Documents sufficient to show when and where a truck with athletic shoes, commonly now referred to as a “bait truck,” was used, each and every time it was used, from January 1, 2016 to the date of this request. I also request all other documents subject to FOIA about any “bait truck” and the logistics and planning for any operation that has used one, including but not limited to communications, contracts, details of expenditures, and orders/memoranda. Please note that I wholly reject your ability to deny my request based on the false notion that making information public about “bait truck” operations would limit law enforcement activity in the future. The publicity surrounding the “bait truck,” and word-of-mouth about it, specifically in the areas it has been said to have been used, has already nullified any claim CPD might make to protecting “secretive” sources and methods. Indeed, the practice received wide publicity precisely because many public officials, journalists, and members of the public believed the practice to be exploitative, and thus, in our view, in need of even greater public scrutiny. It is precisely for purposes like this that the Illinois FOIA law exists.

You have requested the following records: Documents sufficient to show the number of “jump-outs” in each calendar year from 2013 through 2017, plus 2018 through the date of this request.

For example, CPD might maintain a data set of these incidents. If so, I request that data set, exported in Excel format, with column redactions only when necessary to comply with the purpose of a FOIA exemption. If CPD does not maintain a data set, I request numbers of jump outs per year, per ward or precinct—if such data is extant.

You have requested the following records: The full response to FOIA #P058763, which I requested on 3-14-2017, and to which I never got a response. On 4-5-2017, a CPD FOIA officer claimed to have given me a final response to this request, but I proceeded—later that day in fact—to inform the officer that I did not receive any such response, or any response at all. Again on 7-18-2017, I reminded the CPD FOIA office that I was still awaiting response, which itself received no response. Please allow this letter to constitute a request for both a response to my original request (which was given the above-stated number), and all communications (including any previous responses) and metadata (including dates and addresses of sending) surrounding, or in relation to, the request to which CPD gave the identifier #P058763
