NYPD documents re: Thanksgiving Parade Confetti

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

All documents pertaining to:

1. The planning to use shredded police documents as confetti in the 2012 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

2. Any reports on what type and which documents were shredded and used as confetti

3. Any reports or complaints from officers or the public about the confetti and/or the information that was shredded

4. Any documents about what is generally done with shredded NYPD documents on other times of the year

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,

Inkoo Kang
