RE: Police General Records Request of February 06, 2018 Reference # S061648-020618
Dear Curtis,
The City received a Public Records Request from you on February 06, 2018 for the following: "Documents concerning IMSI catchers or any of the following words: "Stingray", "cell site simulator", or "dirtbox". including:-Contracts with the Harris Corporation regarding the acquisition of their Stingray or KingFish IMSI catchers -Department policies and procedure regarding the use of IMSI catcher technology-policies and procedures on the keeping of statistics about the Department's use and acquisition of IMSI catchersThe requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes."
You have requested a fee waiver from the City of Portland for the fees associated with your public records request. The City requests the following information to evaluate your fee waiver request:
1) How do you or your organization intend to use the information? (Please answer regarding the specific information requested as opposed to speaking generally regarding information on the general topic requested);
2) How will the information benefit the wider public? (Please explain how this specific information assists the public given the information already provided to the public on this topic);
3) How do you or your organization intend to disseminate the information to the wider public?
Without responses to all 3 of these questions it may be difficult, or even impossible, to assess whether the requested disclosure is in the public interest because it will primarily benefit the public.
Please also bear in mind that the Bureau providing the records must weigh the public's interest in disclosure against the cost to the public of fulfilling the request without reimbursement. As part of that balancing of interests, the City may consider the volume of the records requested. Please discuss whether a more narrowly tailored, and thus less expensive, request could equally meet the public interest.
Sincerely,
PPB Queue
