Supreme Court of New Jersey

North Jersey Media Group, Inc., Plaintiff-Appellant v. Township of Lyndhurst, Helen Polito, Rmc

July 11, 2017229 N.J. 541

Summary

The Court held that Use of Force Reports are not exempt under OPRA’s criminal investigatory records exception, that the ongoing investigation exemption does not bar disclosure of dash‑cam videos or UFRs absent a particularized showing of harm, and that section 3(b) requires the names of officers to be disclosed, not merely a press release.
