Authorizations for collection of restricted information by police

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to RCW Ch. 42.56 (Public Records Act), I hereby request the following records:

With the exception of those applications which were placed as part of an investigation that remains active at the time of processing my request, all applications, approvals, and denials for authorization to collect restricted information as described in Seattle Municipal Code Title 14 "Human Rights" Chapter 14.12 "Collection of Information for Law Enforcement," (e.g., individuals' political or religious associations, activities, beliefs, or opinions; political or religious activities, beliefs, or opinions and the membership, mailing, subscription, or contributor lists of a political or religious organization, an organization formed for the protection or advancement of civil rights or civil liberties, or an organization formed for community purposes; individuals' membership or participation in such organizations, in a political or religious demonstration, or in a demonstration for community purposes; etc.), and associated metadata.

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,

Phil Mocek

RE: my public records request of July 22, 2013 (your identifier: P2013-2321)

Dear Sir or Madam:

I appeal. I specifically excluded those applications which were placed as part of an investigation that remains active at the time of processing my request, yet your justification for denying in full my request is your claim that these applications, approvals, and denials for authorization to collect restricted information "covers what the Unit is currently investigating."

Cordially,
Phil Mocek
