Surveillance Food Carts [NYPD]

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:

Any and all documents describe surveillance equipment camouflaged as street food carts, commonly known as "halal carts."

Specifically, I am seeking purchase orders, receipts, inventories, communications with vendors, vendor catalogs, technical schematics and build-outs, and any training materials.

Please limit the scope of the search request from September 11, 2001 onwards to the present date.

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,

Rich Jones
