Dear Manalapan Township,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Police Body cam footage and dash cam footage for all officers responding to the November 10, 2023 Police Crash Investigation Report 23MN41357 involving Englishtown Ex-Chief Peter S. Cooke, Jr.

A previous request resulted in a video that could not be downloaded due to a broken link.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours,

Anonymous

Dear Carmen Sevilla,

Could you please check your previous emails dated June 04, 2024. In that OPRAMachine request, you provided links to a Manalapan Township SharePoint site that contained those video files I am requesting.

Two of the three links work. One does not. Here is a cut and paste of the exact reply you made that was seven months after Cooke's accident.

Here is the link to the email you sent in OPRAMachine: https://opramachine.com/request/body_cam...
