I just got off the phone with the National Park Service office responsible for Freedom of Information Act requests. I was basically trying to get a feel for what it would take to get a list of a "crime in our National Parks, including all violent crimes"...

The answer? "There is no centralized location for this information. To get it, we would have to research the information for each park."

For this FREE information that I have a right to, I was informed that it could lead to "thousands of dollars of research (hourly) and copying fees". Ack!

I may submit the FOIA anyway and put a cost limiter in it (you can say, "please notify me if costs exceed $xxx dollars).

I think with a bit of work, this CC issue in National Parks can be an easy win.
