Good afternoon Sam.

MPD Legal reviewed your request and made the following responsive comments:

The Infotrak LRMS 5.6.6 User Guide from July 2010 was attached at the time of legal review.

The attached manual includes copyrighted materials. The requester could come in to inspect the material, however, we cannot make copies of the manual as it would violate federal copyright law.

The requested manual is available for the requestor's examination and inspection.
Please do not reproduce, copy or distribute copies of the manual protected under copyright laws.

The federal copyright law, when read together with Ch. 119, F.S., authorizes and requires the custodian of records of the Department of State to make maintenance manuals supplied to that agency pursuant to law, available for examination and inspection purposes. AGO 03-26. "With regard to reproducing, copying, and distributing copies of these maintenance manuals which are protected under the federal copyright law, state law must yield to the federal law on the subject." Id. The custodian should advise individuals seeking to copy such records of the limitations of the federal copyright law and the consequences of violating its provisions; such notice may take the form of a posted notice that the making of a copy may be subject to the copyright law. AGOs 03-26 and 97-84. However, it is advisable for the custodian to refrain from copying such records himself or herself. AGO 03-26. But see State v. Allen, 14 F.L.W. Supp. 172a (Fla. 7th Cir. Ct. November 2, 2006) (defendant entitled to inspect and copy copyrighted operating manual for the radar unit and speedometer used by the police under Art. I, s. 24, Fla. Const.; if police department declined to make copies, defendant or his representative must be allowed reasonable access to the documents and a copy machine to make copies).
