On February 17, 2024 around 3:58 AM, Officers Lucas Silva and Thomas Kelly with the Township of Union Police Department observed a 2019 Jeep stopped in the middle of the road on Oakland Avenue near the intersection with Stuyvesant Avenue. When they turned around to check, they also observed a snow-covered pedestrian sign lying in the middle of the road. Officer Kelly first advised dispatch about the incident and made contact with the driver of the Jeep along with her 3 other passengers. She initially seemed hesitant to give her information and lied about her age multiple times, but they eventually identified her as 20-year-old Camila Cabrera-Mora. As he was speaking with Camila, Officer Kelly detected the odor of alcohol and observed other indicators of impairment. Camila admitted to consuming a beer at a party earlier that evening. Field sobriety exercises could not be administered because it was snowing outside. However, based on the motor vehicle crash, the odor of alcohol, and her admission to consuming alcohol at a party earlier that evening, Camila was placed under arrest for operating under the influence. Her vehicle was impounded by for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Officers Kelly and Silva transported her to the Township of Union Police Department for further processing. After she was searched by Officer Toni Roman, the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators was read to her and she agreed to submit breath samples. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC level of 0.14%, which was almost double the legal limit of 0.08% for drivers over 21. Once they finished processing her, Camila was eventually released to her sister pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on Camila’s behalf. Officer Silva issued her the following citations: -Operating under the influence -Operating under the influence underage -DWI within 1,000 feet of school property -Reckless driving -Careless driving: operate motor vehicle causing property damage -Failure to possess driver insurance card ------------------------------------------ Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J.
