2. Records Requested


Be as specific as you can, describing types of records, dates, party(ies) to correspondence, subject matter, etc. The City of Wilmington ("City") will make every reasonable effort to assist you in identifying
the records being sought. Requests for voluminous records may be delayed. To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Delaware Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All records or data collected in relation to traffic stops conducted on the basis of a motorist having an out-of-state license plate, pursuant to the Governor's emergency order effective March 30, 2020, and all records or data in relation to what enforcement action (citations, arrests) resulted from those stops.

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 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Michael Tracey
