Here's an example of a real freedom of information request made in BC

To: "Chris Harris" <Chris.Harris@translink.ca>

Subject: Translink - FOIPOP Request

To whom it may concern at Translink,

This is a freedom of information request. I notice that Skytrain has video cameras in stations and on some new sky train cars. Please send me any photographs that Translink has of the facilities where the images from these cameras are monitored, if they are.

Thank you

And drum roll please....

 

So is this Big Brother at work? Or is it Guardian Angel?

 

But before you answer be sure to ask yourself "What records in the custody of Translink/Skytrain could be requested using freedom of infomation to determine where I stand?" Then go a head and request them. You know how!
