Summary
Dear Public Records Officer:   This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided access to data from parking tickets issued from Jan. 1, 2018 to the present.   My request includes, but is not limited to, the following information from each ticket:   ·           ·           ·         ticket number ·           ·           ·           ·         ticket date ·           ·           ·           ·         time ticket was issued ·           ·           ·           ·         violation description ·           ·           ·           ·         address of violation ·           ·           ·           ·         badge number of issuing officer ·           ·           ·           ·         name of issuing officer ·           ·           ·           ·         ticketed vehicle make ·           ·           ·           ·         ticketed vehicle model ·           ·           ·           ·         ticketed vehicle model year ·           ·           ·           ·         ticketed plate type ·           ·           ·           ·         ticketed plate state ·           ·           ·           ·         fine amount ·             I request access to these records be provided in a digital spreadsheet format.    I do not believe the records are exempt under MGL Chapter 66, Section 10. However, if you believe the records contain exempt material, the law requires that you redact only those portions of the records and release the rest of the documents.    If you expect costs to exceed $10.00, please provide a detailed fee estimate.   I am seeking a waiver of any fee for access to these public records. Disclosure of these requested records are in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requestor.   I am a reporter for the Boston Globe who regularly reports on government operations, and release of these records would contribute to this coverage.   The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. Please communicate with me regarding this request via email.    If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.   Sincerely,   John Hilliard Reporter The Boston Globe john.hilliard@globe.com   Dear Mr. John Hillard, Please see the attached excel spreadsheet.
