To Whom It May Concern:

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

The name of, purchasing records, usage records, a full description, and all other documents related to any software in use by the Police Department to compare pictures of genitalia in the investigation of criminal activity.

The software is described second-hand in a Washington Post article regarding a sexting case involving a 17 year-old male:
"[Jessica Harbeson] Foster said Detective [David E.] Abbott told her that after obtaining photos of the teen’s erect penis he would 'use special software to compare pictures of this penis to this penis. Who does this? It’s just crazy.'"
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/local/wp/2014/07/09/in-sexting-case-manassas-city-police-want-to-photograph-teen-in-sexually-explicit-manner-lawyers-say/)

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Donald Triplett III
