On June 21, 2019:
Subject: Maryland Public Information Act Request: Criminal Hackers Target
Police to Protest Perceived Injustices (Maryland State Police)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the
following records:

Records mentioning, describing or generated as a result of the 8 May 2015
Roll Call Release IA-0181-15 (which was designed to be shared widely with
law enforcement) from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of
intelligence and Analysis (I&A) in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, titled "Criminal Hackers Target Police to Protest Perceived
Injustices," as well as records otherwise responding or reacting to the
issues raised in it.

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 my primary purpose is to inform about government activities by reporting
on it and making the raw data available, I request that fees be waived.

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 10 calendar
days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Emma Best
