because we were not wasting enough money with GDPR already...
It would be more appropriate to send it to your government agencies... Oh wait, they exempted themselves from GDPR, how typical and how despicable.
It depends on where you live; to request information from government bodies/agencies, you have to resort to various Freedom of Information laws rather than Data Protection. However, there might be certain exemptions, which will prevent any such pranking and unless it is sensitive information, you will most probably be informed of the number of hours it will take to fulfil a request and the costs involved.
