Every jurisdiction has its excessive requestors—also known as vexatious or serial requesters—that have learned that they are allowed to submit an unlimited number of Public Records requests each day. Although news outlets or media routinely file Public Records/FOIA requests for news stories that benefit the public, they can also be labeled as vexatious requesters due to the sheer volume of requests. Estimates are that the media accounts for approximately 10% of public records requests to one entity. The remainder is 75% commercial and 15% individuals or non-profit requesters.
