How do you obtain records from the federal government? We provide an overview of the "other" public records law — the federal Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") — what it is and why we need to know about it.
Also, what are the Touhy Regulations and how do we use those regulations to request information from federal agencies? What other federal statutes, such as the Privacy Act, do you need to be aware of in requesting records from the United States? What are our obligations under HIPAA when First Amendment auditors seek to film within our medical facilities? What federal tools are available in dealing with sovereign citizens?
