Communications

From: Russel Neiss

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any recorded drone footage from the following events:

The 4/22/2018 Surveillance flight of the "Israel Unity Walk" recorded with the department's Phantom 4 Pro
The 6/12/2020 Surveillance flight of the "Protest" recorded with the department's Mavic 2 Zoom
The 6/25/2020 Surveillance flight of the "Protest" recorded with the department's Mavic 2 Zoom

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 understand that these files could be quite large and perhaps difficult to send over the internet, I'd be happy to provide an external hard drive if that would facilitate speeding up the request.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Russel Neiss

Russell,

Can you give me a call? 314-274-2106

It appears the drive you provided is NOT formatted yet, and we would need
to format it.

Thanks.

Captain Koncki,

Do forgive the oversight. I thought I had formatted before I dropped it off. Perhaps I picked the wrong encoding.

Do feel free to reformat it however is necessary. It was delivered to you all empty.

Best,
Russel

From: Creve Coeur Police Department

Sir,

We have formatted the hard drive and are actively loading (LARGE) files to
it. It is taking a little longer than expected. Would tomorrow at 1pm
work for you?
