Dear Palisades Park Borough,

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 April 25, 2026 at approximately 9:29 p.m. Wherein our insured’s vehicle was involved in a collision with a pedestrian (Case No.: 2026-08412). According to the
police report (which can be provided upon request), the reporting officer
was Police Officer Mathew B. Carley, Badge #322.

CURE respectfully requests that you maintain the body-cam footage from the body camera worn by this 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.

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.

Thank you,
Kennedy Ross

Dear Palisades Park Borough,

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

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

I am getting an error message and I don't know if it's an issue with OPRA or palisades park. Can you please resend the information?

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
