Request of BWC Ptl. Schandall 11/8/2025
Dear Manchester 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 requester 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: BWC Requested of arresting officer Taylor Schandall at the Wawa on 11-8-2025 @ 1930 Hrs, defendant Christopher R. Lyal.
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,
Michael McHale
Per your request, please see response below:
Request denied. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-3, the Township is not permitted to release records pertaining to an “investigation in progress.” Additionally, release of the requested records would violate the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 (N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17-25) as well as N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1’s prohibition against the disclosure of a citizen’s personal information.
This will consider your request closed. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Maria
