Stingray Warrants (Cook County State's Attorney's Office)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

On 7/22/2016, then Governor Rauner signed Public Act 099-0622 (passed by the 99th General Assembly) a new law governing the use of "cell site simulators" by law enforcement agencies to take effect January 1, 2017. Therefore under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act we are requesting:

- Any internal documentation about the implementation of Public Act 099-0622 including changes to internal policies, any changes to directives or other memorandums of understandings.
- Internal communications including emails, documents, notes, and memos about the public act 099-0622. Please limit your search from January 1st 2016th to the present.
- If available, documents sufficient to show a blank search warrant application (electronic or otherwise).
- If available, documents sufficient to show a blank search warrant application (electronic or otherwise) after the passage of Public Act 099-0622.
- If available, documents sufficient to distinguish an electronic search warrant application versus a physical search warrant application.
- Any external communications between your office and any of the following departments ( Cook County States Attorney, Chicago Police Department and the City of Chicago Department of Law )about Public Act 099-0622. (I am sending this request to multiple offices so be aware that this request is for _external_ communications).
- If available, documents sufficient to show how your office processes search warrants. For example, documents should be sufficient to show where a filed search warrant is sent for processing, where all search warrants are stored by your office etc.

Please be aware that this request is being a non-profit organization as part of a media request. I request expedited processing if possible. Please contact me with any questions if needed.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Freddy Martinez
