To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, I hereby request the following records:
All controlled substance seizure reports from January 1, 2006 to the date that this request is processed.
The documents I am requesting are referenced here (http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcpdf/MA_Municipal_Records_Retention_Manual.pdf) under the heading "Police Department" item 16.014.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. 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.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
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 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
George LeVines

Mr. LeVines,
The Department of State Police has received your request for "all controlled substance seizure reports from January 1, 2006 to the date this request is processed." Given the scope of your request, the Department has prepared a good faith estimate for the cost of complying with your inquiry which currently totals approximately $130,000. Although the actual cost of the search may be higher or lower, I would like to speak with you to ask if you would be interested in limiting the scope of your inquiry so as to reduce your costs. If not, the Department will send you the good faith estimate it prepared based on the current parameters of your request. You will find my contact information below. Thank you for your time.
