Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to request documents under the Washington State Open Records Act.
I would like to have copies of the following documents:
1) A list of the Homeland Security Officers (sworn law enforcement personnel) who are employed by the State of Washington or Federal Government and assigned to the State of Washington.
2) A list of the vehicle license plate or asset tag numbers associated with sworn law enforcement officers operating in the State of Washington.
3) A report of the handcuff detention (for 30 minutes) of an unknown black male in the downtown of Olympia Washington on May 17, 2006 at 11:30AM – 12:10PM near Adams and Legion. The officer observed had a name tag, “Wells.” He was a white male in police style uniform using vehicle G62-17489, a white 2004 Tahoe without agency markings.
If you desire to clarify this request please feel free to call me at 360-870-3127. You may also email me at

Email wrong in body of letter... 17.05.2006 - 20:05 Sorry, that email address should NOT say ".com" at the end (in the letter). Drew> how do you know? 17.05.2006 - 21:25 drew, can we get some details? such as, how do you know it was a homeland security agent? how was the detainee treated? did you talk with the detainee afterwards? thanks k khaos> small update 18.05.2006 - 18:28 Rumor at the Fishtail Brewery is that the person detained was stopped because they were wearing a coat and carrying a backpack which seemed to the air conditioned Homesec Agent to be inconsistent with the 80+ degree temperature. Guess he's never been around a lot of homeless folks - who often lack access to a good closet when the weather changes. More later when the letter gets answered. Or call me if you know who the person was who was stopped. 870-3127 Drew> |
