FOIA for body camera footage as worn by DC police responding to Seth Rich murder. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Fateswebb

There is reason to believe that Seth Rich's murder was related to the podesta email leak, and therefore this investigation. Some reasons are suggestions by Assange, as well as others that he was the leak. I am wondering if anyone has, and how we can if not, file a FOIA request for the footage recorded by D.C. Police responding. I have noticed from this document, which appears to be the police report that the officers were wearing this piece of equipment. So what do you guys think, should we request this and if so who is gonna take lead? I think it would be best if it was someone with a popular YouTube or website to file the request.

I filed a FOIA for Seth Rich was denied in very non-commital way.

Response:

This is in response to your FOIA request. Based in the information you provided, we conducted a search of the Central Records System. We were unable to identify main file records responsive to the FOIA.

By standard FBI practice and pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(7)(E) and privacy Act exemption (j)(2) [5 USC $$ 55s/552a (b)(7)(E), (j)(2)], this repsonse neither confirms or denies the existence of your subject's name on any watch lists.

For your information, congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 USC 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV (2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Ok... So the codes say:

Title 5, section 552, (b)(7)

US code 552a, scroll to (j)(2), about halfway down

FOIA is for FEDERAL records. Investigation was local PD.

What was your request, and why does this mention him not being on watch lists? I'm more interested in the body am footage and other physical evidence surrounding his murder.

It was the first FOIA I've ever filed, and I think I phrased the scope incorrectly. I just requested files pertaining to Seth Rich. Damn.
