Dear Newark City,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message. Request made pursuant to the January 9, 2020 case of Richard Rivera v. Bloofield et al, No. A-3338-17T1. "Because BWC footage is required by law to be made, maintained, and kept, it does not qualify as a "criminal investigatory record" exempt from disclosure under OPRA. Lyndhurst, 229 N.J. at 551, 565. Therefore, the ECPO failed to satisfy the first prong of the criminal investigatory record exception for the BWC footage to be exempt from disclosure under OPRA."

Date: 02/09/2020 , 2:15pm,
