Video Request (Bodycam or Dashcam)
Dear Washington Township 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 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:
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: DUI driver flees hit-and-run, then crashes into trees, cops say
State and City: Montgomery County, Pa.
Link of Articles: https://www.nj.com/warren/2017/04/dui_dr...
Description: A drunken driver struck another car along Route 57 in Washington, then fled the scene and crashed into trees after swerving across lanes. Wrubleski, 54, is facing multiple charges, including DUI, obstruction of justice, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Police Department: Washington Borough Police
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
