Police reports Jackson
Dear Woodbridge Township,
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:
All police reports,cads from the incident on Chain o Hills road where Middlesex County Sheriff investigator A. Jackson hand gun was used to threaten Contractors by her husband , who was arrested and gun was seized
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,
John
Good Morning,
A request pursuant to the Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et
seq., must identify the records sought with specificity. Bart v. Passaic
County Pub. House. Agency, 406 N.J. Super. 445, 451 (App. Div. 2009).
“Wholesale requests for general information to be analyzed, collated and
compiled by the responding government entity are not encompassed” within
the Open Public Records Act. See MAG Entertainment, LLC vs. Division of
Alcohol Beverage Control, 375, N.J. Super. 534, 549 (App. Div. 2005).
OPRA “is not intended as a research tool litigants may use to force
government officials to identify and siphon useful information.” Id. at
546; see also, Bent v. Stafford Twp. Police Dept., 381 N.J. Super. 30,
37-39 (App. Div. 2005) (noting that OPRA allows requests for specific
records, not requests for information, data or statistics). As such,
requests for “any and all” documents on a specific subject are considered
overly broad. Bent, supra, 381 N.J. Super. at 37. Moreover, a custodian
may reject a request that is overly broad or vague so as to prevent
identification of the records sought. New Jersey Builders v. New Jersey
Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J. Super. 166, 172 (App. Div. 2007).
This request does not identify an incident (specific record, or date of
event, but a mere inquiry. Because of this, your request is denied.
-Thank you
