420 Laxington Avena, 11" Fr. Joseph J. Gatet Naw York NY 10170) Preatgent woe tito D Metro-North Railroad June 23,2015, z.. Re: Freedom of Information Law Request Dear SE: ‘This is in response to your request that Metro-North Commuter Railroad (“Metro-North”) provide you with records of “officers’ filming and photographing in Grand Central Station from ‘November 2014 through January 2015,” in connection with Grand Central protests including, but not limited to: 1. _all pictures, videos, audio recordings, data, and metadata related to Grand Central Station protests that were collected or received by your agency; 2. records describing the information collected, the dates of collection, and the official purpose of the collection; 3. copies of files documenting the use of property within Grand Central Station related to monitoring of the protests; 4. records describing the surveillance equipment used by officers within Grand Central Station; 5. copies of all communications sent or received by your agency between November 2014 and January 2015 pertaining to protests in Grand Central Station; 6. __ the names of governmental organizations and private security companies who collaborated in the collection of the information; and 7. the names of all organizations public and private with whom the information was shared. Item one of your request seeks pictures, videos and other recordings reflecting officers’ filming and photographing of protests in Grand Central Terminal during the stated period. Please be advised that the policing function at Grand Central Terminal is performed by the MTA Police Department and other uniformed police forces such as the New York City Police Department, not by Metro-North. Metro-North does not have under its employ police officers assigned to police duties at Grand Central Terminal and accordingly had no “officers’ filming and photographing in Grand Central Station from November 2014 through January 2015” protest activities that occurred in Grand Central Terminal during that period. Films or photographs taken by police officers, and other police records in connection with the protest activities during [MTA Metro-North Ratrosd isan agency of the Metropolian Transportation Author, State of New York ‘Thomas F Prendergast. MTA Chatman and Chief Executve OficerRe: Freedom of Information Law Request Page 2 the indicated period that may exist would be the property of, and in the possession of, the pertinent police force departments. As noted, your request by its own terms is limited to records of “officers filming and photographing in Grand Central Station.” To avoid any tisk of confusion, Metro-North notes that for purposes of enhancing the security of one of the busiest pedestrian crossroads in the ‘world, and what is considered by law enforcement to be a potential leading target of terrorists in the United States, Metro-North maintains fixed location security cameras within Grand Central ‘Terminal, the locations of which and recording contents of which constitute confidential information that is not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law. These permanently installed security cameras at Grand Central Terminal are not operated by police Officers and do not fit within the description contained in the FOIL request you submitted. ‘These are fixed location security cameras installed to protect the facility, not hand-held portable ‘cameras used by “law enforcement officials ... trained on protesters” between November through January. Accordingly, Metro-North does not consider any such fixed security camera recordings in its possession to be responsive to your FOIL request. Moreover, as noted above and in Footnote One, Metro-North regards such fixed security camera video recordings as ‘exempt from FOIL pursuant to the indicated statutory exception.” With respect to the second, third, fourth, sixth and seventh ? items of your request, Metro-North. reiterates its response above: Metro-North does not have police officers in its employ engaged in such filming, photographing and “surveillance,” or “collection” of police records, and is not the ‘custodian of police records relating to such filming and photographing by police officers of protests occurring at Grand Central Terminal during the stated period. To the extent any such records have been communicated to Metro-North by police officers, we refer you to our response to Item 5 of your request, below, which addresses copies of such communications. With respect to the fifth item of your request (denominated as “4” in your request), Metro-North has reviewed e-mail communications for the relevant period to identify records of “officers” filming and photographing in Grand Central Station from November 2014 through January 2015” of protest activities, such as are contained in communications that were sent or received * public Officers Law § 87(2Ke}(W ; ee also Fink v. Lefowitz, 47 N.V.2d 567, 572, 419 N.Y.S.2d 467, 471 (1979) (shielding from FOIL disclosure materials the disclosure of which would glve rise toa substantial Ukellhood that Violators could evade detection by deliberately talloring thelr conduct in anticipation of avenues of inquiry to be pursued by agency personnel) 2 after receiving your FOIL request, Metro-North did have its Security Department review video in Its possession ‘with respect to security cameras located in areas that would have recorded activity in the Grand Central Terminal’ ‘central concourse in January 2015, and Security Department personnel extracted and preserved video recordings ‘that appear to contain images of protest acttles occuring at that location during that month. November and December videos were no longer avaliable atthe time of the requests receipt, as the security camera video recordings are regularly recycled. 2 The fourth Item is mis-denominated as a second item “3” in your request; the sith and seventh items of your request are mis-denominated as items “5" and “6" In your request.Re: Freedom of Information Law Request Page 3 by Metro-North between November 2014 and January 2015 pertaining to protests at Grand Central Terminal. Metro-North encloses copies of those communications that have been identified as responsive to this request. Please note that pursuant to N.Y. Public Officers Law §87(2X(0), an agency may withhold records that “if disclosed could endanger the life or safety of any person.” In accordance with this provision, the location and contact information of the MTA Police personnel named in the emails, as well as the names of undercover police officers, have been redacted. ‘You may appeal the determinations made herein in writing, within thirty (30) days, to Chairman & CEO Thomas Prendergast, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, 2 Broadway, New York, ‘New York 10004. The fee associated with processing your request is $37.50. Please remit your check or money order made payable to Metro-North.
