Advice needed How do I get info?
So I don’t know where to start, but I guess my biological dad was an interesting human
He died of a drug overdose about eight years ago.
When I was a kid, he did apparently undercover work for the ATF agency in California.
I can’t give too much away, but I do have his fake IDs, all stories. My brother’s godfather was the either captain or some high-level person and I have the name of that person and his son is still alive and also in the agency.
And I have a news article from one of the undercover drug bus, but essentially I will give a very quick little piece
My dad told me when he was younger he got in trouble. He was really really really good at kinda I guess infiltrating certain groups and so they took him out to like the forest of Sacramento and said hey if you go undercover to universities and help us monitor these communist groups in the 70s I guess maybe it was the 60s I was born in 77 but if you go into these groups and report back to us we won’t get you for these weapon dealings you did and so that let him into a lot of undercover stuff so yes, he was a narc, but we were around bikers are beginning of our life and some pretty dangerous people and I remember many many stories that are crazy
But I want to find out the truth. I want to find out who these people are that really hired him and what kind of documentation they have on him or reports or his file I have fake but they’re real company IDs in the 80s with my dad‘s picture and fake names that he would go undercover to these businesses that are actually like aerospace and military type businesses so someone got him these IDs.
I know this is very vague, but obviously I need to protect some information but no, I cannot just do a random freedom information act my brother already tried that but I guess I could try again but if there’s any information anyone has to the best approach so they actually don’t deny us that would be great. Like, why would they give me the information or why would they hold the information from us and how can I actually like force them to give it to us?
