Dear Bogota 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-6(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:

1. All police reports filed by Francisco Miranda on any date.

2. All police reports filed by another person against Francisco Miranda on any date.

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.

Yours faithfully,

Fred Cane

Dear requester,

We acknowledge receipt of your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request dated Monday July 28, 2025. After careful review, we must respectfully advise that your request, as currently written, is overly broad and cannot be processed in its present form.
Issues Requiring Clarification:
1. Date Range Specification
Your request lacks specific dates or a defined time period. Please provide:

Specific start date (month/day/year)
Specific end date (month/day/year)
OR a defined time period (e.g., "January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024")

2. Police Report Specificity
Your request for "all police reports" is too broad. Please specify:

Specific incident report numbers (if known)
Specific case numbers
Specific location(s) where incidents occurred
Type of incidents (e.g., traffic accidents, burglary, etc.)
Names of involved parties (if appropriate and known)

3. Additional Clarification Needed
Please clarify what specific records you are seeking by providing:

More detailed description of the documents requested
Purpose or context that would help narrow the scope
Any other identifying information that would assist in locating responsive records

Legal Basis
Under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g), a custodian is not required to research files to discern which records may be responsive to a request when the request is unclear or overly broad. Additionally, pursuant to MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005), requests must be specific enough to enable the custodian to identify and locate responsive records.
Next Steps
Please submit a revised OPRA request with the specific information outlined above within 30 days of this notice. Upon receipt of a properly clarified request, we will process it according to OPRA's requirements.
If you have questions about this response or need assistance in refining your request, please contact our office at 201-342-1736 x 235.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Yenlys
