I’ve submitted a sunshine request to the GCSO. Copied the attorney general and crystal quade as well

Nice work!

I've never heard police calling it a "sunshine request" before. Usually it's referred to as FOIA (Freedom of Information Act Requests). From what I can tell generally a Sunshine request has to do with government meetings and being able to get access to those minutes, actions, votes etc. And originally the Sunshine law was a federal law passed after Watergate that some states also passed their own version later. Guess it's a Missouri thing to call it Sunshine.
