You really don't see that the Marshalls were given the files so Sarasota Police would have an excuse to not comply with the FOIA request?
No, because I'm not an idiot incapable of seeing more likely scenario and so limited to such a conclusion, as are you.
"You don't see that the Earth is flat?"
No.
Also, learn to spell. We're not talking about a department store.
On what basis do you claim the Marshalls own this? They didn't create the investigation.
On what basis do you claim the local PD owns this? You fail to consider the possibility of the initiation of a federal case which leaves you with nothing but the conclusion that it is a local case which leads you to your absurd conspiracy theory.
Scenario 1:
This was a US Marshals case. The US Marshals deputized the LEO in question, who then proceeded with the federal investigation. Local PD gets a request for information as to the device in question, sees that they have files in their possession which pertain to it, and agree to release them thinking they are theirs. US Marshals get wind of this and say, "Uh uh. No. Those don't belong to you." Then a whiny, self-entitled lolbertarian lawyer cries because reality didn't conspire to make everything he wants fall into his lap on his first try.
Scenario 2:
This was a local PD case. A request comes in as to the use of the device. The local PD agrees to release the information. The US Marshals get wind (how?) that a random local PD is being asked about its use of one of these devices, and in some grand conspiracy to defend "universal secrecy" as to the use of the device, swoop down, deputize a random LEO officer to somehow claim that these files are theirs, and whisk them away in order to stymie their greatest threat: the ACLU lawyer who is whining about this!
You believe Scenario 2, yet you have to invent your conspiracy first in order for the US Marshals to have any reason to intervene.
"I believe the lizard people exist. The government doesn't want people to know the lizard people exist. The government is institutionalizing me? IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE LIZARD PEOPLE EXIST!"
The US Marshals have no cause to intervene to protect local methods. Their authority supersede state law. If a local jurisdiction banned the use of firearms by its PD and an ACLU lawyer asked for documents as to whether that PD was carrying firearms on the sly, would the US Marshals have to come in and seize any documentation to the affirmative in order to justify their carrying of firearms? No.
This is beyond you, though.
Educate thyself you little pony, all his applications were for state police work and for multiple cases. He was deputized last minute and for obvious illegal reasons - blocking freedom of information requests.
L2read. Nowhere does it say any of that. You want to see a conspiracy so you've invented one. Stop boring me with your nonsense.
does not change these facts. But regardless, once the Sarasota Police Department received our records request, state law required them to hold onto the records for at least 30 days, to give us an opportunity to go to court and seek an order for release of the documents.
