A respectful FYI to each of you government officials, law-enforcement officers, and political and civic and cultural leaders on the following most recent public-information request that I submitted online tonight to the Austin Police Department (APD) at their official website in this state-capital city for Texas:
"I am seeking a copy of any and all e-mail communications or other written communications that have occurred at any time since 12:01 a.m. June 21, 2019, between the government office of Austin Mayor Steve Adler or the government office of Austin District 4 Representative Greg Casar and a certified peace officer of the Austin Police Department in a context that referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of the District 4 section of Austin.
"My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.
"Ever since June 21, 2019, I have resided alone on a continuous and uninterrupted basis inside an always-bolt-locked solo-occupancy efficiency unit at Pebble Creek Apartments in northeast Austin.
"My home address ever since June 21, 2019:
"Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Building 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
"My home phone: (512) 342-2295. My cell phone: (512) 993-7305.

"I was reminded to submit this public information request after I recalled having had the following exchange of e-mail letters with then-Austin City Council Member Chris Riley in late May of 2012 that specifically referred to any possible communications between Council Member Riley and APD in regard to me:"

No, John, neither I nor my staff have ever asked the APD to send officers to your apartment, or anyone else’s.

Subject: 5-25-12 Question for Council Member Riley
Dear Council Member Riley,
Two Austin Police Department officers knocked on the front door of my apartment unit yesterday morning and indicated to me in person that one or more members of the Austin City Council had reportedly been offended by infra-red spy-camera photos those City Council members apparently viewed that had been taken on my own behalf inside my bolt-locked and apparently-secured, top-floor, vaulted-ceiling, private one-bedroom apartment unit in northwest Austin.
I am referring to the 20 total infra-red-camera spy-camera photos that were recently E-mailed by myself to several Austin City Council members as cited attachments to a courtesy-carbon-copy I sent to yourself and several of your City Council colleagues of a letter of complaint I'd written and E-mailed to the Office of the Police Monitor for the City of Austin.
That letter of complaint from myself related to my very emphatic belief that the Austin Police Department has failed to adequately investigate the several criminal-law complaints I've filed with APD ever since April 28, 2011.
Those crime-reports from myself referred to alleged flagrantly-illegal physical abuse of myself and alleged personal injury to myself by one or more illegal intruders inside my bolt-locked apartment unit ---- alleged physical abuse and alleged personal injury of myself and alleged flagrant violations of my own privacy rights that allegedly occurred on a daily and year-round basis during my nocturnal slumber, with myself always having slept alone on my Swedish bed at the time of those cited alleged criminal-law incidents.
The two Austin Police Officers who visited my apartment unit yesterday each stood on the outdoor balcony in front of my apartment unit (Apartment 325 at Wind River Crossing) on Thursday morning (May 24), with one of the two officers, APD Officer James Turner (APD Employee Number 5980), repeatedly and with very apparent anger toward me in his voice and demeanor demanding from the outdoor balcony that I "cease and desist" (exact quote of that APD officer's words) from myself ever again sending any more spy-camera infrared-photography photos of any type on my own behalf to any current member of the Austin City Council.
The APD officer who stood with Officer Turner on the outdoor balcony of my apartment unit yesterday morning was APD Officer Donnie Williamson (APD Employee Number 1619).
The infra-red photographs to which that APD officer referred were taken on my behalf by an infra-red spy camera (also known as a "hunter's camera") that I purchased earlier this year at an Academy store in northwest Austin.
Council Member Riley, did you or one of your staff members ever at any time ask the Austin Police Department to send one or more APD officers to visit my apartment unit yesterday and then state to me that I am myself forbidden from ever again at any time sending to ANY current member of the Austin City Council ANY of the spy-camera photos that have been taken on my behalf inside my bolt-locked and apparently secured apartment unit by an infra-red photography camera owned by myself?
Thank you in advance for your prompt and courteous reply note to me in response to this very important public-policy-related question that has arisen for me.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a gainfully-employed, teetotaling and permanently alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, tattoo-less, facially-cleanshaven (no mustache, no beard, no goatee, etc.), clean-talking (no verbalized profanity in my everyday conversations with others), consistently civil and law-abiding single adult gentleman who is also myself a resident of Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March of 1997.
