Around 2:49 PM on May 4, 2024, Officers Geovanni Cruzado and Tyrone Huggins with the Hoboken Police Department responded to a report of a shoplifting at ShopRite on 900 Madison Street. They entered the store around 2:57 PM and walked upstairs to the loss prevention office. In the loss prevention office, they met with the loss prevention officer as well as the alleged shoplifter, who was identified as 33-year-old Arielle. The loss prevention officer informed the officers that he saw the woman enter the store shortly after 1:00 PM and start placing items in her cart. At the self-checkout aisle, Arielle did pay for $156.84 worth of items using a card, while attempting to leave without paying for an additional $248.64 worth of items. The officers were provided with an itemized receipt of the value of the items she had allegedly attempted to steal. Based on the value of the items she had stolen, the store decided to press charges against her. Officer Huggins placed Arielle under arrest for shoplifting. She was handcuffed and escorted to the patrol car. Arielle was transported to the Hoboken Police Department for further processing. At police HQ, she was searched in more detail by Officer Rose Kanan. Arielle was finger printed and photographed by Officer Huggins. She was charged with shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(2) and released pending her court appearance. ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

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.
