Dear Mr. Quintero, On behalf of the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), we invite you to participate in the AIEF Solidarity Mission to Israel, January 20-25, 2024. The AIEF Israel Seminar will depart Saturday, January 20; and return to the United States on Thursday morning, January 25. This seminar will delve into the critical issues facing Israel in the wake of the October 7 massacre, including: the ongoing Israel-Hamas war; security threats confronting Israel on its northern border; and the threat posed by a nuclear Iran. Participants will hear a wide array of viewpoints, including discussions with: members of the Israeli Knesset and the Palestinian Authority; U.S. government officials; military leaders; heads of non-governmental organizations; and prominent academics and journalists. Throughout the week you will experience firsthand the diversity of Israeli culture, politics, and society. If you are an elected or appointed government official, a government employee, or otherwise subject to local, state or federal ethics rules, we want to ensure that your participation complies with applicable ethics rules. Since different jurisdictions have varying policies applicable to privately-sponsored travel, please consider this invitation conditional upon your obtaining written confirmation from your ethics authority and/or advisor, on official letterhead, that you may participate in this educational seminar in Israel. Of course, we will be happy to answer any inquiries from you or any applicable ethics authority necessary to secure participation in this trip. We hope that you will be able to join us on what promises to be a rich, insightful, and educational trip. To confirm your participation, please complete the Participant Confirmation Form at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions, please contact Pedro Cavallero at pcavallero@aipac.org, or (323) 333-5825. You may also reach Brigid Moynihan, Israel Seminars Associate, at
#FOIAFriday: former El Monte mayor and now prosecutor in the LA City Attorney's office Andre Quintero took an educational trip to Israel on the American Israel Education Foundation's dime. AIEF is part of Israeli lobbying group AIPAC and the trip included meetings with Israeli politicians.

if someone wants to FOIA something and possibly get the records sooner rather than later, is the trick to just sue?

Cops discussing - I wonder if you can just flood it with fake LPR locations to make it useless
Good Afternoon, Just wanted to share that there is a website specifically designed to identify LPR's associated with Flock Safety and other manufacturer’s abroad that is being marketed to the "public" to help "citizens" identify the alleged invasion of privacy that ALPR's present to the public at large. I wanted to make you all aware so that you can inform your investigators that sites like this exist in our AOR's that provide a platform for potential suspects to communicate the location of ALPR technology in each jurisdiction so that people can circumvent being captured on ALPR's. The website has the capability for users to input ALPR location information into the platform and it also offers a specific Discord channel for communications. I have placed the link below to the website and if anyone has additional feedback that they can share, I would love to hear any experience you have with this. DM for full email
As if there’s not enough cameras, cop chat group considers lying about having even more upon learning of the existence of the deflockme website #FOIAFriday

Happy #FOIAFriday and good morning. Let's talk about records and what they are called. By way of example, let's talk about the Epstein List. If you FOIA for "The Epstein List" I'd be surprised if you get a response, especially if government officials don't want you to have it.
Why?

My grandparents wedding photo. He was a captain in the army in World War II. She served as a nurse and ambulance driver in England.
Feature: how to find your forefather who fought fascism as the founders would have favored.
Happy #FOIAFriday & #FourthOfJuly.
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, I got records of my grandfather, an Army World War II vet.
And huge thanks to my grandad. You know, for the freedom.

A flyer that says SDPD Open Camp with a candidate assistance camp and San Diego PD police patch. A photo of police officers working but their faces aren't redacted
#FOIAFriday The San Diego Police Department released their public recruiting flyers to me, but redacted all the officers' faces, citing exemptions for personal identifying information and peace officer personnel records. The lengths police will go to hide who they are from the public!

#FOIAFriday: Back in 2020, Flock Safety installed its cameras on city utility poles without permission. Public Works instructed Flock to take down the cameras. Flock also gave temp access to the illegally installed cameras for free.

FOIA response letter from CIA: Dear Requester: “This letter is a final response 10 your 5 April 2023 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking records generated between 2009 and 2014 mentioning or describing the hacker group RevoluSec. We processed your request in accordance with the FOIA (5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended. and the CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C. § 3141, as amended). We did not locate any records responsive to your request. Although our searches were reasonably calculated to uncover all relevant records, and t is highly unlikely that repeating those searches would change the result, you nevertheless have the legal right 10 appeal the finding of no records responsive to your request. https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/revolusec-central-intelligence-agency-144194/#file-1290056
I believe the phrase is, LOL.
