Around 11:42 AM on September 3, 2024, Officers Michael Aviles and Roberto Cuevas with the Hoboken Police Department responded to a report of a shoplifting at ShopRite on 900 Madison Street. They walked upstairs to the loss prevention office and met with Felix. Felix informed them that this man was being detained by store security after attempting to leave the store without paying for 28 items. He was identified as 59-year-old Robert Bozeman. The 28 items he attempted to steal were worth $263.64. Robert was handcuffed and placed under arrest. He was transported by Officers Aviles and Cuevas to the Hoboken Police Department for further processing. It was revealed that he had 3 open warrants out of Lacey Township, New Jersey from a speeding ticket and 2 other citations he had received on May 20, 1989. Based on those unpaid tickets, he was provided with a new court date from Lacey Township. He was also charged with shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(1) in Hoboken and released with a summons pending his court appearance. ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2024, c.16). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. 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. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
