Per the GAO's report here: https://www.gao.gov/assets/680/677098.pdf, Alabama has signed a MOU with FBI FACE Services. Here's an example of the MOU sent back from Illinois (a state that the GAO indicates has also signed an MOU) in response to an identical request.   Are you denying the existence of this sort of agreement (no records to provide), or are you denying the request?   If you are denying the request, please tell me what exemption, law, or other consideration warrants denial.   Thank you, 1 of 3 3/4/20, 2:35 PM FW: Access to ALEA Database   Everett Reed     From: Barnes, Noel [mailto:Noel.Barnes@alea.gov] Sent: Wednesday, 30 October, 2019 1:39 PM To: Everett Reed Subject: RE: Access to ALEA Database   Mr. Reed, After reviewing the law, your request, and searching for responsive documents, I am unable to produce any documents in response to your request.

Respectfully, Everett Reed     From: Barnes, Noel [mailto:Noel.Barnes@alea.gov] Sent: Tuesday, 29 October, 2019 4:23 PM To: reede@nacc.edu 2 of 3 3/4/20, 2:35 PM FW: Access to ALEA Database Cc: Ennis, Robin Subject: Access to ALEA Database   Mr. Reed, Thank you for reaching out to ALEA on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation to request public writings relating to facial recognition. Before coming to ALEA to serve as General Counsel I spent many years in the Consumer Division of the Alabama Attorney General’s Office where I worked on privacy issues including the passage and enforcement of Alabama’s Data Breach Notification Act so I understand concerns involving facial recognition. After reviewing your letter, however, I am unable to produce any records that are responsive to your request. Thank you,      Noel S.
