BWC Footage and Incident Reports
Under penalty of NJSA 2C-28-3.1 I certify that I, Bryan Dawson of Austin, Texas, have not been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state or the United States.
Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to obtain all body-cam footage, dash-cam footage from police vehicles, and any incident reports pertaining to Incident #24-157759, which occurred on 2024-08027 involving officer John Palmisano (UOF-24-8-139) and an African American Male suspect, aged 29.
If multiple officers with active BWC responded to this incident, I would appreciate footage POVs of a primary and secondary arresting officer. I apologize for not being able to provide you with the arrestee's name, or time and location of incident, I hope the information provided will nonetheless be enough to retrieve these records.
