How do you suggest I narrow my request, as I have already given a specific time frame, specific names, and specific subject matter? I cannot give specific document types, as I do not know what documents you have. That is the reason for the request... I want to know what records you have. If I already knew which records you had, I would not have to ask for different types of documents.
I'm assuming the prosecutor's office has some sort of organized filing system. If a government agency gave you the same information I gave you, and asked for assistance gathering information to prosecute someone, I'm sure you'd have no problem locating the information requested with minimal effort.
I don't have more information to give you to narrow the request. Again, if you have a suggestion to narrow the request, please do so. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
ASK NJ Media Co.
We have a database of criminal cases. We do not have a database of video-recorders or photographers. I previously provided you emails re: citizens video recording because you provided me with specific names (to/from), a specific phrase ("citizens video recording"), and a specific time frame. I cannot search every email of every employee for various terms or phrases. I checked county policies - there isn't one involving video or photo recording of police.
