keyword warrants (San Francisco District Attorney's office)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am seeking all data on keyword search warrants -- or search warrants that order companies to identify all users who searched for a specific keyword, phrase, or address -- as well as any applications for keyword search warrants, cancellations, and authorization for keyword search warrants between 2018 to the date of processing this request. For each, please provide the following points of record:

Full Name of requester
If arrest, arrest ID (eg some cities/states use, "Incident Report")
Reason(s) for search warrant (typically either hand-written, or checkboxes)
Badge ID (or similar) of requester
District/Unit
Name of Judge
Name of approving officer
Which company the search warrant sought the information from
Whether the company complied
How many users of that company's service the warrant impacted
Whether an Arrest happened
Requested location of search warrant
Location of search warrant execution
Statements used to justify search warrant
Time and date when search warrant was submitted for approval
Time and date when search warrant was executed
Whether anything was seized

The records responsive to this request are likely available in a database, or in some query-able format. If your department or agency does not have direct access to the records, please raise to the respective department that can run queries directly (eg, through SQL).

Should your agency not have all of the requested records within a single record or document, please provide me the relevant documents that do, even if that requires more than one class of document. Should some of the records be unavailable, please let me know ahead of time so that we can narrow the request accordingly.

As the records responsive to this request are imperative for understanding how search warrants are executed, I ask that the public interest of these records be evaluated to the extent that the public's interest outweighs this request's burden.

If this request was sent to the wrong department or agency, please let me know so that I can send to the correct place.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
