Ms. Bickford,
Thank you for that clarification. For future reference, though, I wanted to advise you that when I called the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering division they advised me to submit my request directly to you.
Thanks again,
Todd

Muckrock files requested
From: Todd Feathers
Hello,
Would you care to explain why the tables labeled "Other Non-Cash Assets Received" and "Civil Rights Cases" were redacted? I'm quite interested to hear your justification seeing as how 1) every type of civil rights case that appears in the forms -- whether in the court system or otherwise -- is a public record 2) None of the 16 police departments that responded to identical requests redacted that information 3) There is no personal identifying information in those tables.
Anxiously awaiting word,
Todd Feathers
From: CRM FOIA
Mr. Feathers:
