Under the authority granted by the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I am formally requesting the release of all body-worn camera and dashcam footage pertaining to the specific incident outlined below:
Incident Case Number: 23SH05262
Officer Name & Badge Number:
1. Patrolman DiGiovanni = Bodycam
2. Sergeant Hershey = Bodycam
This request encompasses all unaltered footage from both body-worn cameras and vehicle dashcams involved in the incident.
In compliance with the New Jersey OPRA, I expect a response to this request within seven business days as stipulated by state law. Failure to meet this deadline will result in my seeking judicial relief to enforce compliance under the statute.
Please inform me of any fees associated with the processing of this request prior to proceeding. The timely and unimpeded access to these records is essential for maintaining public transparency and upholding New Jersey's statutory requirements.
Should there be any need for clarification or further details regarding this request, please contact me directly without delay.
