Task: Text Completion
Input (English): amended Exemption 7 in 1986 to make clear that 7(E) “was not limited to records or information addressing only individual violations - of the law.” Id. at 79. More recently, in Blackwell v. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Court of Appeals held that the FBI had properly withheld methods of data collection, organization, and presentation contained in certain reports under Exemption 7(E). 646 F.3d at 42. The methods were developed for the FBI to meet the agency’s “investigative needs,” rather than linked to a specific investigation. Id. Moreover, as Defendant correctly points out, Def.’s Mot. at 11, 13-14, courts in this District repeatedly have held that information connected to law enforcement databases qualifies for exemption under 7(E). See, e.g., Long, 149 F.Supp.3d at 44 (<HOLDING>); Strunk v. U.S. Dep’t of State, 906 F.Supp.2d
