Dear West Windsor 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:

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

This is a request for DASHCAM and BWC video for the first two squads on scene and any subsequent BWC video related to the arrest of the primary suspect in this matter. (As a formality, this request is being made under open records statutes governing this data.)

Title of case: Drunk 18-year-old driver was driving 78 mph in a 35 mph zone in fatal crash, cops say

State and City: Mercer County, New Jersey

Link of Articles: https://www.nj.com/mercer/2024/09/drunk-...

Description: Rehan Jahangir, 18, is charged with vehicular homicide and related crimes after crashing into a tree on Lanwin Boulevard in West Windsor on August 20. The crash occurred at approximately 3:45 a.m., when Jahangir was driving 78 mph in a 35 mph zone with a blood alcohol content of 0.125 percent. The crash killed his passenger, Danny Haas, 18, who died on August 24 from injuries sustained in the crash.

Police Department: West Windsor Police Department

If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me prior to fulfilling the request if the cost will exceed $30. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees, as the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of law enforcement encounters and use of force incidents.

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,

Francesco Papa

Good afternoon,

In response to your OPRA request please note the following response from
our Police Department:

We are denying the request as it is still an open investigation.  We are
referring them to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office to submit their
OPRA request as it is currently a Mercer County Prosecutor's Office case. 
I have attached an OPRA request form for the Mercer County Prosecutor's
Office to assist them in filing their request.  

This completes your OPRA request, please acknowledge receipt of this
email.

Thank you,

Joei L Godin
