RE: Public Records Request
Dear Records Officer Casey:
PRELUDE TO PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST
Please
understand that the Medford Police Department has absolutely refused to
answer previous public records requests, one including documents
regarding a
teacher allegedly having an affair with a powerful politician's
daughter.
After
filing that request on or about Dec. 3, 2015, the Medford Police
decided to resurrect a case that I filed after being physically and
verbally assaulted
by city clerk Edward P. Finn (on or about June 16, 2015.) Lies by Mr.
Finn and City Councilor Richard Caraviello - lies to the police - were
used to press false charges on the victim. The police falsely claimed
Finn never assaulted this writer, yet when
the police filed false criminal charges on the victim, they made it
clear that Finn did assault this writer - you can't have a witness
without a crime, and Ed Finn broke the law and assaulted a person
attending a city council meeting.
The second time I was
assaulted at the council, the first time, by Matthew Page Lieberman,
the police determined that I was the sole victim. It was front page news
in the Medford Transcript.
I DEMAND THE POLICE TREAT ME FAIRLY INSTEAD OF THE REPEATED DISCRIMINATION AIMED AT THIS WRITER.
On
October 17, 2017, ex Police Chief Leo A. Sacco Jr. retaliated against
me and threatened me with "the police service you deserve" when I
informed the public,
via the city council, of Mr. Sacco's son not getting a breathalyzer or
field sobriety test in January of 2017.
Though
I have helped the Medford Police with solving a theft at Tony's Gas on
Salem Street; malicious destruction of property at the dental office
across the
street from Tony's Gas, videotaped the police strike at Montvale Plaza
at the request of the police or people working
with the police, I have faced retaliation and harassment for working to
give the public information of great public interest.
My treatment by Solicitor Rumley at Medford City Hall has been horrendous and not what we expect from a public servant.
Here
is my request - I expect an answer within 10 days, an answer to the
documents request that includes the documents requested:
This is a request under the Massachusetts
Public Records Law (M.
G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting
that I be provided a
copy of the following records:
A)The document which includes the names of the 27 officers
involved in the suspensions and disciplinary action
found in a new
Patch article:
"Of the 45 officers investigated, 15 were fully exonerated and findings could not be supported for three officers.
Twenty officers were suspended without pay and seven received a written letter of reprimand, according to the department." https://patch.com/massachusetts/medford/medford-police-detail-investigation-20-suspended-7-reprimanded
B)All the documents concerning the investigation of alleged child pornography. See attached disc.
At
the request of the Medford Police Department, despite my efforts to
give evidence to the FBI and the office
of Marian Ryan via former ADA Douglas Nagengast, a floppy disc was
given to former detective J.J. McLean, who desperately wanted the letter
and disc.
Incredibly, Mr. McLean said that the police could not ascertain the age of the actor (alleged victim) in the
photograph(s) that the police stated were nude image(s).
1)The alleged victim worked at a pizza shop in Medford
2)The alleged perpetrator/alleged pornographer was allegedly evicted, leaving the floppy disc behind
3)The pizza place, which is noted in the evidence, would have the contact information for the victim
4)The date of the eviction means the photography date would be prior to the eviction.
5)The business would have the date of the teenager's birth or access to that date
Incredibly, this should be an easy case to solve: finding the date of the person whose image(s) appears on
the disc.
Again, all documents concerning this case, especially since the police did not pursue it, should be turned
over to this investigative journalist as this is a matter of great public interest.
C)All
documents regarding any removal of a varsity coach/teacher
at Medford
High School, June 30, 2015 who allegedly
had an
affair
with the daughter of a powerful Medford politician.
This request
resulted in false charges pressed on the journalist, which
was clear
retaliation. That will be dealt with in Federal Court,
Viglione vs
Medford, Caraviello, Mackowski et. al.
As
Mark Rumley noted to me in regards to the MCC TV3 cases
"You don't
expel someone from the country for filing
a case against
the U.S.A." Sadly, Mr. Rumley has done everything in
his power to
DENY me access to the access TV station - denying the
public
information of great information - because I had the integrity to
sue
the access station which the solicitor was
assigned to the board of.
Please
do not continue the harassment exacted on this journalist
because I
will be a plaintiff in a suit against
the police department.
No funny business and false charges for my
asking the right
questions. The police have sued the police department,
as you
know, and it is sad that a journalist has to insert this
information
into a public records request.
That Mayor
Burke went from being kind and considerate to me a \
decade or so ago to
being absolutely nasty to this journalist makes
one wonder what this
mayor is hiding, and why she isn't more
forthright with the people she
should be transparent with.
I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well
as for personnel time needed to comply with
this request. However,
as a journalist with 1,405,415
views on one of my websites @ 1:33
pm on Sept 26, 2019, these matters
are of great public interest and
the fee should be
waived.
The Public Records Law requires you to
provide me with a written
response within 10 business days. If you
cannot comply with my
request, you are statutorily required to provide
an explanation
in writing.
Sincerely,
Joe Viglione
