Fwd: [OpenRecords] Request FOIL-2023-056-15960 Acknowledged
by Gunnar Larson 20 Jul '23

20 Jul '23

Dear New York Ethics Team: I am concerned that the FOIL below is subject to obstruction of justice. The FOIL request is for access to NYPD body cam footage, for NYCCoin Touting. Ethics Team, I am concerned that the Chief of your office is also the Chief of the City Mayor's office. The body cam footage should have an agreeable time for delivery. I am concerned that the Mayor is retaliating against NYCoin and the NYPD may be aware of this. The video would or would not delineate any form of unnecessary force. The NYPD may be aware of this. Obviously, xNY is very protective of digital asset innovation. Ethics is a serious matter and the body cam footage would be helpful concerning NYCCoin. Sincerely yours, Gunnar Gunnar Larson xNY.io - Bank.org 917-580-8053 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <donotreply(a)records.nyc.gov> Date: Fri, Jul 14, 2023, 12:25 PM Subject: [OpenRecords] Request FOIL-2023-056-15960 Acknowledged To: <g(a)xny.io> The New York City Police Department (NYPD) has *acknowledged* your FOIL request FOIL-2023-056-15960 <https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/request/view/FOIL-2023-056-15960>. You can expect a response on or about Wednesday, November 29, 2023. Additional Information: Your request has been assigned to PAA Quagliano (646-610-5296) Please visit FOIL-2023-056-15960 <https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/request/view/FOIL-2023-056-15960> to view additional information and take any necessary action.
