On December 16, 2023 around 1:09 AM, Officer Robert Schaffer with the Secaucus Police Department observed a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander drive through a red light through the intersection of Front Street and Humboldt Street. He positioned his vehicle behind the subject vehicle on Paterson Plank Road and initiated a traffic stop. As Officer Schaffer approached the vehicle, he made contact with the driver, who was identified as Rosalie. When the driver was asked where she was coming from, she told the officer that she was coming from the Dublin Yard at 146 Front Street. As he was interacting with the driver, he detected the odor of alcohol and asked her if she had consumed any alcohol. She admitted to consuming 2 drinks before operating a motor vehicle. Based on the officers’ suspicion of impairment, the driver was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. Officer Bronowich administered the field sobriety exercises, and he started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test and the final exercise was the One Leg Stand test. She was unable to complete the field sobriety exercises as instructed. Based on her traffic infraction, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to perform the field sobriety exercises, she was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. She was transported to the Secaucus Police Department for further processing. At the station, Officer Bronowich read her the NJ Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she refused to submit breath samples for testing. After she was processed, she was released to her husband pending her court appearance after he signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. Officer Schaffer issued her the following summonses: Operating under the influence, refusal to submit to chemical test, consent to take samples of breath, reckless driving, failure to observe traffic control device, and failure to possess driver insurance card ------------------------------------------ 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. 2001, c. 404). 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.
