From: Emma North-Best
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Documents, memos, emails, reports and other records describing exploitation by criminals of the COVID-19 the outbreak as well as records mentioning or generated as part of or as a result of Liaison Information Report (LIR) 200323006, titled "Criminals Exploiting COVID-19 Outbreak for Financial Gain through Procurement and Consumer Fraud."
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
From: Sheriff's Department

RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of April 20, 2020., Reference # C000113-042220.

As of this time, no records have been located related to your request. Just prior to receiving your request, the Department performed a technology upgrade to the archiving / storage of Emails. Due to system conflicts / compatibility issues from this technology upgrade, the Sheriff's Department is unable to conduct any sort of searches of Department emails for records related to your request. To date, that conflict has not been resolved. The vendor is actively working to fix the issue, and does not have an estimate of when the conflict will be resolved. At the present time, our official response to your request is that there are no responsive documents. If you still desire a search of Department emails for this subject matter, please resubmit your request in 30 days. If the problem has been resolved, we will conduct the email search at that time, or we will once again respond in this manner.
