| Jul 6, 2022 at 16:43 | comment | added | sevensevens | @Someone - I highly doubt it. They can charge for hours worked to find the record. If they denied it then they would have worked 0 hours. I do not believe they can charge for reviewing it. | |
| Jul 6, 2022 at 16:32 | comment | added | Someone | Thank you! Would they charge any fees if they denied it? | |
| Jul 6, 2022 at 16:30 | comment | added | sevensevens | @Someone - no. The most they'd do is deny the request. It's not illegal to ask. | |
| Jul 6, 2022 at 16:29 | comment | added | Someone | Could there be any consequences for filing a request that was denied? | |
| Jul 6, 2022 at 16:28 | comment | added | sevensevens | @Someone - edited slightly. The answer is - it doesn't appear anyone has taken them to court to ask. | |
