Dana Pineda,
The City of Hoboken has received your OPRA request Log # 26-704. Per the Hoboken Police Department, "Although OPRA permits access to body-worn camera recordings by a “subject of the record,” the statute expressly allows for denial or redaction where disclosure would violate a person’s reasonable expectation of privacy (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1). The requested footage involves allegations of a sexual offense and contains sensitive details. Disclosure, even to a subject, would compromise significant privacy interests protected under New Jersey law. HPD Records"
PLEASE REPLY “ALL” WHEN RESPONDING TO OPRA
Sincerely,
Michael Mastropasqua
Hoboken City Clerk
94 Washington St.
