RE: Public Records Act Request
To Whom It May Concern,
Pursuant to my rights under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.), I ask to
obtain a copy of the following, which I understand to be held by your agency:
-Video drone footage of June 1, 2020 tear gas incident
-Any complaints received by the city over June 1, 2020 law enforcement actions, excluding correspondence
received and attached to city council agenda documents
-Any officer use-of-force reports drafted in response to June 1, 2020 demonstration
-Any record showing officer discipline related to June 1, 2020 demonstration
-The city’s policy regarding body cameras
-City’s policy regarding crowd control and use-of-force (or when use of less-than-lethal weapons may be
used)
-Any record that shows types of weapons deployed at June 1 demonstration, and how many shots fired
-Arrest reports for anyone arrested at June 1 for PC409
-Any record describing the “public safety threat” used to justify the deployment of tear gas on June 1
I ask for a determination on this request within 10 days of your receipt of it, and an even prompter reply if you can
make that determination without having to review the record in question.
Please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any or all of
the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.
I respectfully request records be provided in digital format if possible, or I ask that you notify me of any duplication
costs exceeding $10 before you duplicate the records so that I may decide which records I want copied.
If I can provide any clarification that will help expedite your attention to my request, please contact me at 781-7909
or mfountain@thetribunenews.com.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Matt Fountain
