Request for Existing BWC &/ MVC Footage & Requests
Dear New Jersey Transit Police Department,
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 N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor containing all required information shall suffice as a valid records 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 any legal proceeding.
I request copies of all OPRA requests received by your agency from January 1, 2025, to the present that sought Body-Worn Camera (BWC) or Motor Vehicle Camera (MVC) footage. I also request copies of the BWC or MVC videos that were already located, reviewed, and released in response to those prior OPRA requests.
To minimize agency workload, I clarify that I am not requesting the identification or search of any new incidents or any new footage. I am requesting only materials that already exist, that have already been gathered and reviewed, and that have already been released to previous requestors. I will accept all records in whatever digital format they currently exist.
These records are disclosable government records under OPRA. Prior OPRA requests and any responsive footage that has already been released are public records, and previously disclosed BWC or MVC footage cannot later be withheld under investigatory exemptions. Because these items have already undergone legal review, producing them again does not require new exemption analysis, redaction, or investigation.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
Joe P

Dear NJ Transit OPRA,
Thanks for the follow up. Again any sucessful and released MVC footage (alongside the BWC footage requested) If there is none then no MVC then no footage needs to be released.
Yours sincerely,
Joe P
