Communications
From: Emma North-Best
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Copies of emails sent to, from, or through the High Tech Crime Consortium ListServ. The emails may be identified by having one or more of the following:
* A sender with a display name of either "High Tech Crime Consortium Listserv" or "High Tech Crime Consortium"
* A subject containing either "HTCC" or "[HTCC]"
* Sent to or from an email address containing "htcc" or hightechcrimecops.org
You may limit this request to records generated between April 1, 1998 and the date of the processing of this request.
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.
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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Emma Best
From: Indiana State Police
Ms. Best,
Once again your request is not reasonably particular as required by Ind. Code 5-14-3-3(a)(1). A request for emails must identify the sender, receiver, timeframe, and search terms. Please revise your request to include all of these criteria. Thank you.

I literally provided the "receiver, timeframe, and search terms" and the list of "receivers" is clearly implied by the request. Do you require help with reading comprehension? (Don't worry - you're not the first semi-illiterate lawyer I've worked with.)
From: Indiana State Police
Ms. Best,
I am quite literate in the law of the State of Indiana, which is where you are directing your request. I suggest you take the time to read the attached opinion of the Indiana Public Access Counselor that reiterates that a requestor must supply the name of the sender, name of the receipt, a reasonable date range, and search terms. Your request is considered closed until you revise it to match these criteria.
