Dear Newark City,

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-5(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:

Please be advised that this firm has been retained by Citizens United
Reciprocal Exchange (CURE) with regard to a motor vehicle accident which
occurred on August 25, 2024 at approximately 12:56 a.m. Wherein our
insured’s vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle accident with another
vehicle (Case No.: C24039072). According to the police report (which can
be provided upon request), the reporting officer was Police Officer, James A. Hollaway,
Badge #11447. CURE respectfully requests that you maintain the
body cam footage of the reporting officer and that same be provided to CURE. Please
advise if there is any cost associated with obtaining this video. Failure
to preserve this evidence may result in a court action seeking damages.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned should you have any questions.
Thank you, Kennedy Ross.

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.

Dear Newark City,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Newark City's handling of my OPRA request 'Body Cam footage from the officer on the scene of this accident'.

It has been several months and I have received no response from this agency.

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/body_cam...

Yours faithfully,

Kennedy Ross
