From: Emma North-Best
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. Documents mentioning, describing or generated in response to the BlueLeaks release, the preceding hack or subsequent fallout, including but not limited to:
* Damage assessments
* Emails
* Interagency communications (local, state, or federal)
* Communications with the press about BlueLeaks
* Communications with Twitter or other social media or sharing platforms
2. Documents mentioning or describing Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets)
You may limit this request to records generated between November 1, 2018 and the present.
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 such, it is not necessary for me to demonstrate the relevance of this particular subject in advance.
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

RE: Public Records Request of June 29, 2020, Reference # C000225-062920
Dear Emma Best,
On June 29, 2020, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department received your request for records under the California Public Records Act (CPRA) wherein you requested the following:
1. Documents mentioning, describing or generated in response to the BlueLeaks release, the preceding hack or subsequent fallout, including but not limited to:
* Damage assessments
* Emails
* Interagency communications (local, state, or federal)
* Communications with the press about BlueLeaks
* Communications with Twitter or other social media or sharing platforms
2. Documents mentioning or describing Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets)
You may limit this request to records generated between November 1, 2018 and the present.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is in the process of gathering and reviewing the requested records. Your request will take extra time to fulfill because of the need to: search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records that are demanded in a single request.
Consequently, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department is exercising its authority under Government Code section 6253(c), to extend the time to reply to a Public Records Act request. You will receive a more complete response no later than July 23, 2020.
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this information.
Sincerely,
Sergeant Greg Bonaime
CPRA Unit
Riverside County Sheriff's Department

RE: Public Records Request of June 29, 2020, Reference # C000225-062920
Dear Emma Best,
On June 29, 2020, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department received your request for records under the California Public Records Act (CPRA) wherein you requested the following: 1. Documents mentioning, describing or generated in response to the BlueLeaks release, the preceding hack or subsequent fallout, including but not limited to:
* Damage assessments
* Emails
* Interagency communications (local, state, or federal)
* Communications with the press about BlueLeaks
* Communications with Twitter or other social media or sharing platforms
2. Documents mentioning or describing Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets)
You may limit this request to records generated between November 1, 2018 and the present.
Records responsive to your request have been located and will be made available for inspection and/or copying during normal business hours. However, it has also been determined that some records and/or portions of such records are exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Government Code §§ 6250 et seq.) and thus will be withheld or subject to redaction.
This determination is made in part pursuant to Government Code § 6254(a) which provides that preliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intra-agency memoranda that are not retained by the public agency in the ordinary course of business, if the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
This determination is also made in part pursuant to Government Code § 6254(k) read in conjunction with Evidence Code §§ 952 and 954 which provides that attorney-client confidential communications, attorney work-product material and privileged material are exempt from disclosure.
This determination is made pursuant to Government Code § 6254(k) read in conjunction with Evidence Code § 1040, which provides that official information acquired in confidence by a public employee is exempt from disclosure.
Finally, this determination is made pursuant to Government Code § 6255 whereby withholding the records in question are exempt because under the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record. The deliberative process privilege is implicated where the request intrudes into records that reflect open and frank exchanges of information between officials and their mental processes. Public disclosure of such records would interfere with the flow of information to the government official and intrude upon the deliberative process. See Rogers v. Superior Court, 19 Cal. App. 4th 469, 479-480 (1993).
We anticipate having your responsive documents ready for review no later than August 13, 2020. You will receive an email when the records are available in the Records Request System. At that time you will need to log in to your online account and retrieve the records.
Please consider this CPRA request closed.

Sergeant Greg Bonaime
