I am looking for U.S.-based FOIA / public records researchers who have experience obtaining police-related video and audio records. I am producing edited documentary-style YouTube videos about real criminal cases and police-related incidents. I am interested in purchasing previously obtained public records footage, such as: - Police bodycam footage - Dashcam footage - 911 call audio - Dispatch audio - Interrogation videos - Arrest footage - Incident-related official records If you already have a spreadsheet or list of previously obtained FOIA / public records footage, I would like to review it first. Ideally, the list should include: - Case title - State / city - Police agency - Date of incident - Type of footage - Video length - File format - Whether the footage is redacted - Any usage restrictions - Price per file My current budget is $10 per selected video file. I would like to purchase only the files I choose after reviewing the spreadsheet or list. Please also let me know whether the footage can be used in edited documentary videos for YouTube, and whether there are any credit requirements, copyright concerns, or usage restrictions. Important: I am only interested in legally obtained public records or officially released materials. I am not looking for private, leaked, hacked, or illegally obtained footage. If you have experience with FOIA, public records requests, police records, court records, or investigative research, please apply and briefly describe your experience. Thank you.

Hello, "Police bodycam footage" – you need a reliable, legally‑sourced list of footage you can actually use in your documentary. I’ve filed dozens of FOIA requests to state and municipal agencies, handling redactions by stripping metadata and converting everything to MP4/H.264 for YouTube compatibility; I’ll store the files on an encrypted S3 bucket and share download links that respect any usage restrictions. Do you have a preferred format for the spreadsheet (CSV or Google Sheet) to review the footage details? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki

I understand the importance of reliable, legally obtained police footage for your documentary projects. I have experience managing FOIA requests and compiling public records, including police bodycam, dashcam, and 911 call recordings, often organizing detailed spreadsheets with case info, dates, and file specifics. My approach would involve reviewing existing FOIA requests, verifying footage availability, and compiling a clear list with all relevant details like usage restrictions and formats. In my previous work, I successfully sourced and documented over 300 public records for investigative projects, ensuring legal compliance and clear usage rights. I can quickly provide a sample spreadsheet tailored to your needs. Do you already have a list of specific cases or jurisdictions to focus on?
