To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

Any files on or related to the protests and public assemblies which temporarily occupied public areas (including, but not limited to, parks, parking lots, roads, and sidewalks) within 500 feet of: 200 W. Washington St., 85003; or 620 W. Washington St., 85003; or 6180 W Encanto Blvd, 85035; or 1700 W Washington St., 85007; or 320 W Lincoln St., 85003; or 201 S 4th Ave., 85003; or 9th Ave at Jefferson St., 85007; or 2035 N Central Ave. 85004 from May 26, 2020 to January 6, 2021.

Files may include, but are not limited to, operation plans/checklists, emails, equipment lists, flight plans, and incident reports.

Arizona Public Records Law carries with it a presumption that all records are “open to the public for inspection as public records.” Carlson v. Pima County, 141 Ariz. 487, 490, 687 P.2d 1242 (1984). If this request is denied in part or in whole, please indicate the specific grounds for denial under the Public Records law and provide the name and address of the person to whom I may direct an appeal. All agreeable portions of otherwise exempt material must be produced. Moreover, under another Arizona Supreme Court case, the burden of justifying non-disclosure is on the party that seeks non-disclosure rather than on the party that seeks access. Mitchell v. Superior Court, 142 Ariz. 332, 690 P.2d 51, 53 (1984).

Thank you for your cooperation. Your earliest consideration is greatly appreciated.

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.

Sincerely,

Russell Facente

Good afternoon,

The City of Phoenix has a population of over 5 million people, you are requesting any files on or related to protests at public areas for a 6-month time period. Phoenix Police could have responded to hundreds of protests over a variety of issues in that time frame. Without narrowing the scope of your request, this presents an unreasonable burden for us to locate, review and redact potential responsive items, therefore we are declining your request.
