Flu season is a doozy already this year.

OPRA law should compel Washington Twp. P.D. to turn over the dashboard camera footage from the assemblyman's July 31 arrest.
After repeated denials, Patch Media Corporation is suing for the release of dashboard camera footage from Fourth District state Assemblyman Paul Moriarty’s July 31 DWI arrest. The complaint was filed Friday in state Superior Court; it accuses Washington Township, its police records custodian and its solicitor of violating the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), which makes official documents and materials open for public inspection. Patch Media (the parent corporation of every Patch site nationwide) filed the lawsuit on behalf of Gloucester Township Patch, which has attempted to access the footage since shortly after Moriarty’s arrest. The suit names as defendants: Washington Township; Capt. Richard Leonard, records custodian for …

The NJ assemblyman's Aug. 8 hearing has been postponed pending the change of venue.
Assemblyman Paul D. Moriarty will have his day in court—it just won't be in Washington Township, where he was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated last Tuesday afternoon, and it won't be Wednesday, as had been scheduled initially. Moriarty's case has been transferred to Bridgeton municipal court in Cumberland County, according to the Washington Township municipal court. Wednesday's scheduled hearing has been postponed as a result of the change of venue. Moriarty, 55, served as Washington Township mayor from 2004-2008. Washington Township also sits within the Fourth Legislative District Moriarty has represented in the New Jersey Assembly since 2006. Bridgeton is located in New Jersey's Third Legislative District; its municipal…

The New Jersey Department of Transportation had suspended ticketing from red-light cameras at 63 of 85 intersections in June. Now their use may resume.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) has granted 21 municipalities permission to resume ticketing from red-light cameras after suspending the programs at a total of 63 intersections in June over concerns those towns may have used the wrong formula to determine yellow-light duration. Gloucester Township was one of just four New Jersey towns included in the pilot program permitted to continue ticketing from all red-light cameras when DOT issued the suspension order June 19. The township had certified that it was utilizing the yellow-light timing formula mandated by state legislation for its red-light camera program, according to DOT. See below for an explanation of the differences between the formulas used to determine yellow-…

The point behind this? The man either did it or he didn't - a judge will decide. I don't even like Moriarity, but if the purpose of getting your hands on these tapes is to embarrass another human being (which it appears is the purpose), then have we really stooped so low as a society.
