I will be providing this information to the public but not for commercial purposes.

Under the provisions of the freedom of information act, I would like to exercise my legal right of access to all pertinent records, files, and data relating to an alleged break-in that reportedly occurred at the Apollo building. More specifically, this building is owned by the esteemed Carus chemical company and is prominently located at the address of 1439 Porter Avenue. The date of this alleged crime is believed to be February 8th, and given the fact that no mention or trace of this incident can be found in any news sources or reports, it is my sincere expectation that the provision of any and all available information about this supposed break-in will be made, as it would undoubtedly be of great significance and relevance to the local community to ascertain the truth behind the events that unfolded on that particular day.

                    The necessity of being duly informed regarding the alleged incident involving an unauthorized access and breach of the highly classified tier 2 chemical storage facility owned by Carus Chemicals cannot be overstated. It would have been absolutely imperative for the relevant authorities to promptly notify us about this grave matter, for it poses significant risks and potential threats to the security, safety, and integrity of the entire operation. In light of this disconcerting situation, one cannot help but question the investigative efforts undertaken thus far, with specific emphasis on the diligence of the detective assigned to this case. Should the detective have availed themselves of the opportunity to formally request and scrutinize any available security footage from the vicinity, a more comprehensive and effective investigation might have been conducted, furthering the potential identification and apprehension of the alleged perpetrator.                                       

 To the utter bewilderment of many, myself included, I have yet to be subjected to any sort of questioning or interrogation regarding my possible involvement or knowledge of this incident. This is particularly puzzling given my firm conviction that no criminal activity has occurred within the premises, thus invalidating any grounds for suspicion. Instead, it is pertinent to note that the supposed crime in this scenario seems to lie within the realm of Carus Chemicals' protocols and practices, as they evidently failed to transmit their fire alarm alert to the appropriate emergency response entity, i.e., 911, thereby violating legislatively imposed requirements. 

    In light of these circumstances, it is with utmost urgency and concern that I bring forth the undeniable fact that such a contravention of legal standards and procedures is unequivocally deemed illegal, sir. Your understanding and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am particularly interested in obtaining the warrant information that has been sealed from my access thus far. As per my understanding of the legal framework, the law allows for the warrant to remain sealed for a period of 90 days.

However, given that we have surpassed this

deadline, I firmly request that this information be made accessible to me, as it appears to pertain to an investigation concerning myself. Specifically, I kindly ask for the affidavit that detective Camenish completed in order to procure the warrant from judge Jantz on July 10th. Additionally, I want to stress that any failure to provide me with all the pertinent information related to this arguably fictitious warrant would constitute a violation of my rights. It is important to note that the absence of a case number indicates the absence of a case, which prompts me to question the validity and scope of this warrant. Furthermore, taking into account your previous statement of being the lead agency in charge during my last appeal with the public accessor, I believe it is appropriate to make this request directly to you and your esteemed staff.

Given the evidence and circumstances at hand, I maintain a firm belief that detective Camenish, driven by personal vendetta, consciously resorted to deception and untruthfulness in order to secure the warrant, using my status as a vocal critic of both carus and the mayor as a pretext. This animosity towards me dates back to the tragic fire incident on January 11, 2023, and has been exemplified by my efforts to consistently include you in the numerous emails detailing the injustices and persistent breaches of the law that we have been subjected to. It is incumbent upon the responsible entities within the Carus government and the city to acknowledge and fulfill their obligation to provide a safe and secure environment for the residents, which, regrettably, is currently being severely neglected.

Respectfully, I am hereby submitting a formal

written plea for the complete disclosure of any and all grand jury decisions pertaining to the alleged case referred to earlier. I firmly stress that if indeed the alleged case has concluded and reached closure, it is absolutely essential that all records pertaining to it be made accessible to me without any unnecessary delay, in strict conformity with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Additionally, I wish to underscore that had this particular case revolved around a murder, it would have undoubtedly been of public interest, warranting widespread news coverage. Consequently, it is absolutely crucial to ascertain the identities of any murder suspects involved.

In accordance with the stipulations outlined in

FOIA, I kindly request an official reply within a reasonable and legally permissible time frame of no later than five days.

Jamie Hicks
