What the Record Establishes
- ORI IL0492900 appears on the warrant record and is identified as the Lincolnshire Police Department.
- The Illinois State Police declined on August 13, 2026 to confirm which agency entered or maintains the record, and directed inquiries to the entering agency.
- The August 13 letter states the FOIA categories in the body of the message, because the Attorney General advised on August 11, 2026 that under 5 ILCS 140/3(c) an agency is not obliged to open an attachment.
- The letter asks whether anyone — including any attorney for the Village — has ever asked the Village to cancel the entry.
What They Have Not Produced
- Whether the entry under ORI IL0492900 is the Village’s record.
- Whether the Village considers the entry correct and current, and on what date it last validated it.
- Whether any person has ever requested cancellation of the entry, and if so, who and when.
The letter never raises its voice, and that is the design. It asks one question, and every available answer produces a record.
| Answer | What it produces |
|---|---|
| “Yes, and it is correct” | The Village has adopted the entry in writing, on a date. |
| “Yes, and it should not be active” | The Village cancels it. That ends the exposure without a judge. |
| “No, it is not ours” | A record has run under the Village’s ORI against a named man for 77 days. That is the Village’s emergency with the Illinois State Police. |
| Silence | Dated, delivered, and produced in three courts. |
Why the request cannot be called vexatious
The letter does not ask the Village to agree with anyone about a criminal case. It asks a records custodian to do records housekeeping it already owes: to validate, correct, or cancel its own entry, which it is authorized to do administratively. That is the narrowest request in the entire August round, and it is the only one that could stop the next visit rather than manage its consequences.
Four dated facts, and no conclusion drawn
Part V of the letter states four facts and expressly declines to draw an inference from them. This page does the same. The Village Attorney of Lincolnshire is a partner at Ancel Glink. Ancel Glink appears adverse to the same litigant in Cook County Chancery No. 2025 CH 12908. The proposed order tendered in that Chancery matter creates a September 2, 2026 dismissal condition requiring appearance. The warrant that makes appearing hazardous carries the Village’s ORI.
Those are four dated facts. No conclusion is stated here, none is invited, and none is necessary. The letter’s third part contains the only question that matters about them: has anyone, including any attorney for the Village, ever asked the Village to cancel this entry? The answer is one word, and the Village is the only entity that can give it.
Standing offer
If the Village of Lincolnshire responds — in any form, including a denial that the entry is its record — the response will be published on this page in full, on the day it arrives, with its date. Read the correction standard.
