Dear Saddle River Borough,

In accordance with the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.) and under the guidance of my attorney, I am formally requesting access to or copies of video evidence related to an incident involving myself and Officer G. Novak (badge number 0350) on November 29, 2023, at approximately 2:00 PM.

This request specifically targets all video recordings captured during the incident, including body cam footage, dash cam videos, or any other surveillance video that may have recorded the events.

Understanding the potential implications of this matter in an upcoming legal action, the prompt release of this video evidence is critical.

Should there be any fees associated with the retrieval or copying of these records, please inform me if the total will exceed [Your Specified Amount], though I request a waiver of these fees as the information is crucial for public interest and legal proceedings, not for commercial purposes.

The New Jersey Open Public Records Act stipulates a response time of seven business days. If the provision of these records takes longer, please communicate the expected timeline.

In the event of a denial of any part of this request, I kindly ask for a detailed justification under the law, along with information regarding appeal procedures.

I appreciate your timely attention to this request.

Sincerely,
Moshe Rottenberg
347-320-5760
