Boston Dynamics Robot Honolulu

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act, I hereby request the following records:

Public reports state that this police department has partnered with Boston Dynamics, a robotics company. (https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx5xym/honolulu-police-used-a-robot-dog-to-patrol-a-homeless-encampment)

Therefore, I hereby request the following records:

SPOT Deployment Logs obtained and published by Motherboard: https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7dz7b/police-outsourcing-human-interaction-with-homeless-people-to-boston-dynamics-robot-dog

show that Spot was deployed November 1 on Dinner duty and November 2 to take temperatures. Therefore, I request the following: Any audio/video recorded by SPOT on either of his days.

Should the previous audio/video recordings not be available, I request the most recent three video recordings taken by SPOT and any accompanying audio.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. It will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE’s science and technology website (www.motherboard.vice.com).

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 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jason Koebler
