The Phoenix Police did not respond to my first letter.
But they did respond to the second letter I sent them.
And they actually answered my questions in this email.
But still you should not have to write a government bureaucrat
two letters before you get an answer.

Hello Mr. Drega,
I appologize for not getting back to you sooner, I had a miscommunication with my partner in regards to who was going to respond to your email. Again, I appologize. As far as your question is concerned, I did some digging and I can't find anything that would prohibit you from taking pictures in a city park, street, etc. Moreover, I haven't heard of anyone having to get a permit to do so. Just to be safe, I would recommend that you contact the City of Phoenix Parks department just to get first hand knowledge before doing any photography project. "Parks" can be reached at (602) 262-6862. I hope you have a great day and good luck on catching some great shots!
Thanks for checking,

About a week ago I sent you a request for public records
asking about laws that the city of Phoenix has making it
illegal for people to shoot photos in city parks with out
getting a permit.
You have not replied to my last email and you are almost
certainly in violation of A.R.S 39 ยง121 which says that
requests for public records must be answered as soon as
possible.
Can you please get me the requested information as soon
as possible or pass this on to the person who can answer
my request for public records
Thanks

Dear Phoenix Police:
I was told that it was illegal for private citizens to take still photos in any Phoenix city park.
I was told that it was only legal to take photos in Phoenix Parks if you get a permit and paid a $100 fee.
Is that true?
If it is true can you tell me the number of the law and give me a copy of the law?
Thanks
