I do not object to the redaction of any information required by law to be redacted - including the employee numbers of officers and the identifying information of non-officer people.

Pursuant to 5 ILCS 140/6(a), we request the information be furnished in the electronic format in which it is maintained by IPRA, not in PDF or paper printouts. If the information is maintained in custom electronic format not currently available to the public, we request the information be furnished in an electronic format that is viewable by standard software, such as Excel, Access, SPSS, SQL, etc. Please provide the data through a file sharing service like Drop Box.

Because we have requested data electronically over a free file-sharing service, there should not be any charges. If there are any charges, we ask that you waive them pursuant to 5 ILCS 140/6(b), which authorizes you to waive fees when doing so would be “in the public interest.” Because I seek the information in order to disseminate it to the public, and because the information regards the safety, welfare, and legal rights of the general public, the request meets the statutory definition of “in the public interest.” This request is not for commercial benefit as defined in the statute because this request is made by a member of the news media whose principal purpose is to access and disseminate information regarding the general public’s safety, welfare, and legal rights. To the extent you intend to assess any charges, please notify me to discuss first.
